I want to reiterate Ronda's issue is with Millennial MEN, not milennials in general. She's the Ron Swanson going to war against the Tom Haverford's of the world.
It's still stupid, but I just wanted to point that out.

The millennial bashing is a bit stupid but I like how people are getting offended over that rather than Becky making fun of depression in a storyline to a woman who's had legit suicidal thoughts and who's father and grandfather both committed suicide. It's a slippery slope because I've had problems with depression and suicidal thoughts for most of my life so I understand Ronda's struggles, but at the same time wasn't she basically a shithead heel bully in UFC? Like a typical bully she couldn't handle it when someone stepped up and knocked the shit out of her and I think that's fair game. I don't speak for everyone else, but I don't take offense to anything being said either way. I didn't really follow her UFC career, or UFC in general, but I assumed all the shitheads like her and McGregor were essentially just the new generation of wrestling heels, they know how to draw the crowds are just playing a character? Either way, no matter how awful someone is, I think mental health issues should never be made fun of in that way, especially while there's still so much stigma around them. The millennial bashing is a bit stupid but I like how people are getting offended over that rather than Becky making fun of depression in a storyline to a woman who's had legit suicidal thoughts and who's father and grandfather both committed suicide. I don't think most of us are offended by her stereotyping of millennials so much as we're annoyed by it. The vitriol against millennials often gets out of hand and is completely tone deaf and ridiculous but ever present. As such it's less 'I'm offended' and more 'oh this shit again' /eye roll. The fact that it's coming from a millennial, it's aimed at someone two days older than her and that she won't let it go and insists on using played out stereotypes that make zero sense are not so much offensive as just plain annoying and obnoxious. All she's doing is showing us how out of touch she is. Ah, fair enough. Thanks for explaining it, i'd somehow missed Raw last week and was confused why suddenly everyone seemed to hate her at Survivor Series haha

Ronda seems at least be in a place where she's completely fine with it though, because this isn't the first time someone's brought up her becoming a depressed recluse (Stephanie said something like, "We all know how you handle losses" back around WM time).

Also using the tag every time she talks about a woman blurs the lines a bit on that.

It's still stupid, but I just wanted to point that out. I think the reason she's specifying millennial men has more to do with Becky calling herself the man. One of her earliest posts took umbrage at that. Ronda seems to think calling the man the millennial man is the cleverest play on words. As such I'd argue that her complaints are aimed at all millennials.

So, the next time WWE goes to the Pacific Northwest, is Ronda going to cut a promo running down Hipsters, Coffee, Computer Programmers, and Deschutes Beer?

Well she's still at it and has moved onto participation awards. Ronda has morphed into Abe Simpson yelling at clouds.

I really don't even think Ronda's comebacks make any real sense. Becky's been promoting her match, even hyped her own division in her original tweet. People are legit wanting and hoping Becky's match main events TLC. I don't even think there's a fraction of hype and excitement for Ronda's match.

Sorry should have added this in the previous post as well.
At least her response to this was only talking about hiding behind a doctors note and made no remarks about milennials. Progress!

I don't know what we did to deserve the treasure that is Becky Lynch, but I'm certainly glad we have her!

Ronda is almost apocalyptically bad at this and someone needs to step in and stop her.

Every time Ronda says the word millennial, participation award or avocado toast, I get more and more excited for when she retires.
Go away, you're lame.

Is Ronda really saying Becky faked her injury so she could back out of their match? Even though Becky's face exploded, still showed up the next night wanting to fight and was ordered by doctors not to? Ronda's arguments don't make sense.
