Not surprising because The Acclaimed are so popular; more the fact parents are totally cool having their pre-teen daughters wear t-shirts that say "Scissor Me"... On the death march through Wembley Park, there was a family there, mother, father, son, daughter (just in case anyone needed clarifying what a family is), the daughter was flagging a bit, the mother turned around to her and said “scissor me baby”, and proceeded to do the scissor hand gestures. The daughter was no older than 12. Unreal parenting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organizedkaos Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) I don't think it's outrageous to suggest that some people don't know the term scissoring in a sexual context. Yeah it's all "nudge nudge wink wink" but the Acclaimed on television do state that scissoring is simply a gesture like a handshake that is done between friends. TBF they do a pretty good job of allowing it to be a bit attitude era naughtiness but also seemingly be genuine at the same time. "Scissor me Daddy Ass" is somehow a genuine statement about a paternal bond between an old peroxide blonde beefcake and his young gay friend and a flaming statement This is just the "suck it" of the current era (and one that's arguably more obtuse in terms of being sexual). I'm gonna assume we have the same objections to any parent that let their child wear such a TShirt back in the day Edited August 29, 2023 by organizedkaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, a man in his mid-30’s attending a wrestling event alone, was asked by multiple children in the queue to ‘SCISSOR ME DADDY ASS’ with their grubby little fingers outstretched. They were asking everyone and their parents seemed to find it hilarious. Needless to say, I didn’t scissor anyone but plenty did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JLM Posted August 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Yeah a dad in front of us had to try and cover for Mox (kid mist have been about 9 years old) by telling him Penta had put spaghetti all over Mox’s head. The lad thought it was hilarious and also had a big Scissor Me sign and foam finger thingy. Think the violence is less child appropriate than the Scissor me merch really.

My wife finds Mox’s shenanigans genuinely quite upsetting. Her exact words when I was watching it was back and told her to pay attention to the spaghetti incident was ‘why did you make me watch that? You know I hate it when he makes it real with the blood and stuff.’ Mox 1 - wife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s all circumspect because “Oi only deal in faaaaaacts” But still, just add them to the long list of people Sniff has signed who people will tut at unapprovingly for a minute of two before dropping all pretence of care because they like the show.

It's not just that though, it was Roy putting up a pic of one of the accusers and saying online where he lived (rough area only), threatened him and tried to insight violence on him. The person wasn't even accusing her of being a pedo just wanted her to admit it was inappropriate. Saraya also laughs and jokes about her brother's beating people to near death.

That’s if it’s the same guy. Fair play to him for not being bullied into submission by them, he’s a good one. I won’t say his name on here but if you read this, you are good people.

Merzbow Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 All bullying is fucking awful but it's made worse when a lot of it was homophobic and this company is supposedly an "ally" to the LGBTQ+ community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scissor Me Daddy Ass is much less inappropriate than some mark getting skewers banged into his bonce. I even felt it was too much and I don't mind a bit of barbed wire and thumb tacks. You have to wonder how talented someone is when they have to resort to stupid shit to get "popz". As Bret Hart would say, there is no art in intentionally hurting yourself. AEW need to really decrease the blood use. Every match I've seen of Danielson he has bled. It seems that they lean heavily on it to get a match over. Less is more IMO.
