  Live stuntmen that act sometimes.

  I used to love shonen and hate pro wrestling but had a friend who loved it.

  After giving it a fair shake, I gotta admit it’s the same damn thing, and I was a muppet.

  Performance kitsch, let’s not sully the word “art” unnecessarily here

    The plots are shit, the acting is over the top, but let’s not pretend prat falls and false punches can’t be art when done well.

      And you think wrestling is the space where artful stunts are happening? Be for real.

      Kitsch isn’t an insult. A lot of things we love are kitsch. It’s just a designator between that which used the techniques and skills of art to create that which entertains but does not meet the trappings of art. Hubble miniatures are kitsch. Most sitcoms are kitsch. And wrestling is absolutely, 100% kitsch.

        So if it’s popular it’s not art.

        People like you are why Ferraris aren’t in art museums.

      What fucking part of that is art? Do you people just think that all media is automatically art?

      It is okay to be entertained, have fun. Just don’t put your fun entertainment in the same category as The fucking Odyssey or a goddamn Rothko.

        Gate keeping art is as old as art itself.
