When having a แฎแญแแ/แแตแฒ/แฅแตแฉแต/แแแญ/ whatever the fuck its other names are.. the amount of energy spent on splitting it open and chewing it is more than what is actually gained from eating it.
It's a net loss, a scam.

Growing up, I used to love wrestling! Like, absolutely love it. I would watch the first airing and rush back from school the following day to watch the repeat telecast, I used to sit around the table with my middle school friends seriously discussing the events of the show the previous night, that kind of love.
I gradually grew out of it and stopped loving it as much but I still remained an admirer. And how could I not be? that level of entertainment week in week out, multiple times a week, the atmosphere of the crowd, the charismatic beautifully ripped wrestlers, the dramatic-ish story lines, the indoor pyrotechnics.. everything.
But lately I've been noticing another part of the whole spectacle: the commentary. They're not the actual pull of the whole thing but they have this almost unnoticeable but kind of pivotal role in it. A and B would clash in the middle of the ring in the most bizarre fashion and the commentators tell you what you saw, the name of the move, what it means in the match, how damaging it is,.... Now, I know other sports have commentators too but they're not as integral to their respective sports as these wrestling commentators are. That's why I cant help but relate them to the media today.
Our media today not only tells us what happened, it tells us what it means, what implications it has, what should be done.. everything! And as much as we tell our selves that we only want the actual facts (which in itself is hard to come by) and nothing more, we of course we want the extras too. We, the people, are too ignorant, too stupid, too unsophisticated to make heads and tails of what goes on. They oblige, and tell us what they want us to think and feel and how to react.
Now I have no comment on this, I'm not going to say how good or bad it all is. But at least the awareness of how heavily mainstream media and social media personalities with big followings influence our narratives and 'subjective' perspectives on anything is a step in the right direction.

I see why old people are very sensitive about being referred to as แฅแญแตแ or แ แแฐ/แ แแบ.
