Wrestling/Facebook

Guys,

I just wanted to bring to your attention that a lot of L&C fans are apparently creeping out and harassing some of the women pro wrestlers who are on Facebook. Jessica Havok just posted a status openly criticizing the L&C people. I know this is probably not my place to say this (maybe if the moderators endorse my message) but can you guys who do this please stop harassing the ladies? Don't ask them dumb questions like 'can you lift me'? What do you expect them to do? Suddenly realize they're lift fans too and come to your house and lift you?

I am just a little angry because this reflects badly upon all of us. I think I may have been one of the earliest people to reach out to indie wrestlers to do lift customs via their power move sets. But I always kept it respectful, never harassed the ladies and simply requested matches with lots of lift style (but regular moves). I have been commissioning these from Slamminladies since that company's beginning and have also individually worked with other wrestlers.

But ever since tons of L&C fans have been trolling the ladies on their facebook pages with 'you are strong' and 'can you lift me?' comments, there has been a growing hostility towards us. A lot of ladies probably guessed it was a fetish even before but they were cool with it because we did not overdo it with weird remarks like some other fetishists. Slamminladies actually goes out of their way to make a few matches every few months with lots of power moves and even have a 'strength gallery' that clearly came as a result of L&C interest. However, with this wave of trolls and creepers, the ladies are getting angry and the majority of us who are respectful of them (and who are wrestling fans - I genuinely enjoy pro wrestling even without lifting and try to support these indie stars) are getting a bad rap and will end up getting shut out of the scene.

At one point some L&C fan even discovered my Facebook account, guessed the password (that was stupid of me - I just used a common, silly password that I now have changed) and used it to ask lift questions to some athletes I'm friends with cos I have commissioned from them. I'm still trying via Facebook's useless staff to find out who that was.

You creepers are shooting yourselves in the foot with your silly remarks. They will gain you nothing and will end up ultimately just reducing the amount of lift/carry material/moves the wrestling ladies perform.

Moderators, sorry for this rant. I don't even know if too many people visit this section...hopefully at least a few will see it.
