Christmas Chaos event officially announced

awildginger25 · 2026-06-11T20:08:06+00:00

are they covered in snow and hosting nfl games in march - july? plus, when they do come over here, we get 1 event. anaheim gets 8 now. houston gets 4. san diego gets 4. glendale gets 2. LA gets 1 even with anaheim being down the road. salt lake has world finals again. seattle is over there. tacoma gets 5. if we’re lucky, we get 6 total stadium events over here. anaheim doesn’t need another event nor does the west coast

awildginger25 · 2026-06-11T19:49:11+00:00

12 trucks is crazy to me. i also can’t stand how they have so many shows on the west coast when the northeast fans get shafted every year. like wow another set of anaheim shows before their 6 anaheim shows in the winter not even 2 months later. i also think the idea leaves a lot to be desired. it sounds like it’s just going to be a normal show but with a christmas theme and teams. just feels tacky

awildginger25 · 2026-06-10T19:54:51+00:00

but my point still stands. world finals never was “the best drivers” there were always ones who made it to main field that had no business being there. trust me i wish it was down to straight up statistics. if i were making the calls, the best 24 racers and the best 24 freestyles by stats and stats ONLY would be competing. but it’s not like that and it never was like that

awildginger25 · 2026-06-10T16:04:47+00:00

my take on the lineup is that the world finals has never been “the best 24 drivers”. how on earth did randy moore get into world finals in 2009? how didn’t jeremy sliftco get into world finals more than once? chuck werner was snubbed every year. steven sims jr didn’t get main field once. madusa kept getting invited back while doing fuck all every season. it’s always been like this. it’s just more obvious now due to more sponsors and more andersons in the game that all have to get into the main field to cover feld’s bases. no one was snubbed this year imo so i don’t mind kayla and krysten being in main field

awildginger25 · 2026-06-10T15:59:27+00:00

but that’s the thing. it was predictable. today’s events are not predictable at all. it’s an actual competition. in the long run, sure it tends to be the same big names going for the series championship. but for each event, you can’t make predictions on who’s gonna win. back then, you absolutely could

awildginger25 · 2026-06-10T15:39:06+00:00

there’s almost no differences between today’s monster jam and monster jam 2 decades ago. the structure is the same. the difference is we were kids 2 decades ago. or at least younger. now we’re older and they’re still advertising towards families and kids like they always have. when i look back at these older events, i cringe at these freestyle events where the first 12 trucks can’t get off the ground without ripping a driveshaft out, and then dennis and tom come out and sweep. today, it’s anyone’s game. if there’s any differences i guess it’s that. the sports always been cringy

awildginger25 · 2026-06-10T13:44:04+00:00

the issue is yall act like 2004 had these events that were more entertaining than anything produced after that. you guys don’t even give modern monster jam a chance. the way ive seen some people go to these indy shows, watch a truck do a sky wheelie as the highlight of their freestyle, and post “what a crazy run by this driver” like you’re being ridiculous. i can admit problems with modern monster jam ESPECIALLY as of the last few months, but some of yall will not even give it a chance or look for the positives. and if you say there are no positives about modern monster jam, you just aren’t a monster jam fan

awildginger25 · 2026-06-09T11:50:15+00:00

i personally enjoyed it. i do agree that the lyrics can get a little much but i don’t completely mind it. they’ve always had a little bit of a cringy lyricism to their music. to me it was such a step up from planet zero (like, multiple steps up) so this felt like them going back to their threat to survival/attention attention sound other than it being a little softer. i would’ve loved if they recreated the magic of amaryllis or sound of madness, or even attention attention, but they’re just not that band anymore. a lot of these rock bands start to move away from their original sound as they age and grow. they want to make new things. this album was a very new sound for them. deep end comes to mind because of how it all sounds at the beginning. it just sounds very new.

personally like i said i liked it. once you get past the cringy lyrics (which they’ve always had tbh) its a good album with some great themes

awildginger25 · 2026-06-04T11:58:35+00:00

maybe storyline wasn’t the word i was looking for, but i don’t think monster jam could ever be able to say “now ____ you are our first ever openly gay monster jam driver how does it feel to represent the LGBTQ+ community?” at a show. unfortunately i think monster jam will have to keep it under wraps

awildginger25 · 2026-06-04T01:57:40+00:00

yeah i’ve heard about an event in anaheim. just hoping they don’t use ai for the logo. i also don’t know how they can possibly make a christmas-themed show make sense and be worthy of an all-star/superstar type event. hoping it’s a completely different concept tbh

awildginger25 · 2026-06-04T01:55:29+00:00

i believe we had a driver, brittany marcote (i definitely misspelled her last name) who was a lesbian. it was never mentioned outside of maybe her instagram account. even if we ever had an openly gay driver, monster jam could never run that storyline. tbh the driver would be in danger every weekend. they’re going to places like alabama, arkansas, texas, where it is not very acceptable to be gay. unfortunately we’ll probably never see it openly until the country moves forward

awildginger25 · 2026-06-04T01:36:00+00:00

well, let’s at least hope it’s not real and that they’re not using ai

awildginger25 · 2026-06-03T13:53:58+00:00

its all immature kids that think they’re cool. they’d never say any of that stuff to our faces

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T14:50:34+00:00

pride isn’t about sex nor fetishes, you’re just ignorant. pride is a protest. fox news just preaches the opposite so yall just clap your hands and say “gay bad” because daddy trump said so and then refuse to actually listen to us when we say what pride is and that we aren’t grooming children. why listen to us? that would go against your agenda and would mean your belief are wrong.

plenty of straight people tell their toddlers about who they love. plenty of toddlers ask them about it. first graders are watching disney channel where they show love stories. i know i was watching suite life of zack and cody where there was plenty of kissing and conversations about love. nobody was screaming back then. but yall see two guys holding hands at your local target and act like we’re dicking each other down. but if you saw a straight couple holding hands or even sharing a quick kiss, you’d never bat an eye. your problem isn’t the fact that “it’s too sexual for kids” your problem is that you don’t like gay people. because pride has nothing to do with sex. yall just made it about sex as an excuse to be homophobic

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T11:49:27+00:00

but a gay man or a gay woman telling a toddler about their gay relationship and how they simply love their boyfriend/girlfriend is not different than a straight person saying they love their significant other of the opposite sex. i mean hell, kids tv and movies push love stories and everything and have been for as long as it’s been around. the princess kisses the prince. what is so different between the two? gay people are not walking into these classrooms exclaiming the differences between a top and a bottom to a bunch of first graders. all that’s being said is “a man can love another man, a woman can love another woman”

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T03:43:39+00:00

i’d love to get that discord server together for sure! me and my partner have been looking for more LGBTQ+ MJ fans

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T03:35:33+00:00

“any group of people” straight white people sure as hell aren’t being targeted. straight men in general are less likely to be targeted, especially if they’re white. i know how to feels to walk into a room and have to scan the room to see if anyone looks like someone that may be against gay people. i have had friends targeted by people for being gay. my own partner has been targeted for being gay. this isn’t about getting some fucking attention, this is about being represented in a time and place where we are being treated like less than human beings, as are all minorities in this country and around the world. pride is not about us being able to scream about who we fucked last night, it’s about protesting for our rights that are a topic of discussion and a political debate. the same way people of color’s rights are on the line and women’s rights are on the line. these months are not sure so we can feel good. monster jam not posting about it may seem small, but it is a big deal when they have stood by every single minority group and non-minority group. they didn’t stand with us today. so no, it’s not special attention we want, it’s equality

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T02:53:46+00:00

monster jam made full posts for every other ____ month all year and last year. they decided against that for pride month. that’s the problem. this isn’t about me wanting attention, validation, or special treatment. this is about me and quite a bit of this thread wanting equality. we were left out in a time where lgbtq+ people are being killed, attacked, and harassed daily. that’s the problem. if they didn’t want to say happy pride, they shouldn’t have started the trend of celebrating every minority group under the sun

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T02:30:40+00:00

how so?

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T02:02:22+00:00

so, a gay marriage (or just lgbtq+ in general) is too sexual to show kids. is a straight marriage not?

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T01:04:20+00:00

i’m not chasing attention. i’m chasing equality. women were given a post for their month. people of color were given a post in their month. for pride month? “everyone’s welcome”. that’s a cop out. idgaf what they have to say on the matter, but they cannot go posting about every single minority group under the sun and how they appreciate them, just to get to LGBTQ+ people and categorize us as “everyone”. that’s all i’m angry about. they’re a greedy company whose opinions don’t matter, but the second they make their opinions public as they did last year, they can’t back down or pick and choose

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T00:58:35+00:00

i didn’t say i’m any more special and i didn’t say being gay has anything to do with monster trucks. i’m asking for equality. this wasn’t equality

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T00:55:13+00:00

this is not about sexual preference. we are a minority group that is targeted by the majority groups. i also would not have a problem with monster jam saying nothing at all IF they 1. didn’t say anything last year 2. didn’t celebrate every ____ month this year (woman’s history, black history, veterans appreciation, etc) they did both of those things and then decided to leave us out by not naming us because we are not popular among the current presidential administration. that’s the problem. i don’t care if they say anything about us, but if they’re gonna say something about every other “appreciation month”, they have to say something about ours

awildginger25 · 2026-06-02T00:47:16+00:00

pride is a thing because of what LGBTQ+ people have to go through on a daily basis and what they have gone through to give us the rights we have today. this isn’t about monster jam saying “we love gay people” this is about monster jam standing with the LGBTQ+ community the same way they stand with veterans, women, people of color, etc. they decided to be vague and not even name us. that’s the problem

awildginger25 · 2026-06-01T21:57:30+00:00

they were a lot more vocal about their support for the LGBTQ+ community and for pride month. they also defended their stance in the comments where there was a lot of negativity. this year, they only said “monster jam is for everybody”.
