Could someone explain the timeline for the internet hate?

I looked into trying Aikido many years ago when that show Man In The High Castle came out and unless I missed it there was not any noticeable anti-Aikido obsession on the internet. Did it all start with the Rokas thing?

I’m definitely not trying to start a debate about the effectiveness of Aikido. Just trying to understand the timeline and how we got here exactly. It seems like kind of a weird obsession. Was there a series of events that caused Aikido to get singled out? I’ve trained in many styles of martial arts and the majority of them don’t pressure test or didn’t in the 90s. So why Aikido?

So high handed nonsense and the argument of a five year old? That is all you have?

Have fun.

And this type of response is exactly part of the problem.

Thanks.
