skipping wwe ppv's set in the us, france, and australia because of their human rights abuses and ongoing support on neo-colonialism all over the world
#wrasslin#before anyone can come at me with pitchforks over this... im gonna bring my indonesian card and say how i have one or two ppl i know who#actually went there as a migrant worker and know what its like to be there (spoiler alert it sucks)#being a woman is already hard imagine having your employer as the only person you know in your entire country and youre literallt#reliant on them for housing and food. also there are cases where some families withheld passports from migrant domestic workers#and as a muslim i dont like how the saudi arabia gov have been commercializing the mecca pilgrimage so much#that being said the boycott and backlash on the existence of crown jewel itself is silly#because wwe have been doing shows like tribute to the troops for decades without ppl crying abt it#at best you get a handful of ppl sneering at it but theres no boycott campaigns#despite that tribute to troops is explicitly an event created after 2003 to bolster public support and the morale of the military for#invading iraq and afghanistan. the babyfaces even in the modern era would give a shout out and praise the military#and like. i dont think wrestlers at crown jewel had to say ksa was awesome. they just have to shut up and wrestle#so like. tell me. how is showing up for a match at saudi arabia is a political act while starring in an event or a movie that directly#depicts the military as a force of good is politically neutral?#i can probably word this better but yknow *shrugs*
