I understand that part of the act involves bullying. I just think it sometimes goes too far or is unnecessary. I didn't see any point in Cena starting up a chant for her last night. They could have gotten the point across just fine without the slut shaming (kissing and flirting makes you a hoe in WWE world apparently). The message I took from it is that it's cool to shame someone like that.

I thought the LayCool thing with Mickie James was stupid too. But I understood they were heels and if anything the message was that they were evil and wrong. Seemed a little too much considering how touchy the issue is for young women and the fact that Mickie has a perfectly healthy body.

I think it can be done tastefully. I didn't think last night's was. It seemed like an unnecessary bit to appease Vince. Not to mention that with such a young audience it doesn't seem smart to direct these toward women. If you're going to do the anti-bullying campaign, don't try and make it seem cool a few minutes later.
