Here is why ITTF does not ban pips / anti though they would love to

The reason ITTF has not banned pips & anti is as follows

The question I get asked often (& also discussed a lot especially by angry robotNazis) is this > Currently most of the table tennis playing population (probably about 70%) has been brainwashed by the ITTF to use the European lawn tennis model of using double inverted rackets. So if robotic looping boosted material players are the majority, shouldn't they make their puppet ITTF ban all tactical rubbers (pimples & anti) altogether ? Afterall in any civilized democracy , majority should prevail right ?
This is an excellent question. Yes, given that ITTF is in a panic mode with the invasion of Indian children using tactical rubbers (pimples & anti), one can make a strong argument that ITTF should ban all pimples & anti immediately before the tactical rubber disease starts infesting other countries and seeping into adult & masters' events as well.
But thankfully ITTF Is much smarter on behalf of & to protect the rights of boosted material robotic loopers aka robotNazis. Because iTTF knows all too well as to what will happen if ITTF bans all tactical rubbers (pimples & anti) . This would leave no choice for the tactical rubber users to wake up to reality but to start their own association.
Why do I say *wake upto reality* ? I say that because thusfar ITTF has done an outstanding job of fooling the tactical rubbers (pimples & anti) players into the delusional thinking that ITTF truly believes in diversity of playing styles and not just 3rd & 5th ball style of boosted material robotic looping. So almost all tactical rubbers have no clue about the 11 rule and regulation changes since 1983 aimed at fully or partially at limiting the capabilities of tactical rubbers to tilt the playing field further & further in favor of robotic looping boosted material players. Tactical rubber users live in a fantasy world where they believe that ITTF is keeping tactical rubbers still approved because ITTF & boosted loopers admire their playing style of chopping , blocking etc. Which is quite hilarious of course because the robotNazi controlled ITTF would love nothing more than ban all tactical rubbers( pimples & anti) into oblivion.
But ITTF can*t . Why ? Because ITTF learned its lesson in 1995 but no one other than the robotic looping boosted material players themselves. ITTF bannned all spin gluing in 1995. But the enraged boosted loopers threatened to form their own association if that rule change is not immediately repealed . So the ITTF Officials who chose to keep their jobs rather than give the priority of all table tennis players, quickly repealed the spin glue ban within a matter of months. Table tennis had been admitted into Olympics only in 1988 only less than 10 years before & imagine ITTF losing all their IOC funding & also getting expelled out of Olympics.
This is why ITTF chose to repeal the spin glue ban in 1995 but also came up with the almost never enforced booster ban of 2008 to fool the IOC into thinking that table tennis is a healthy sport
Anyway in a nutshell this is why ITTF cannot ban all tactical rubbers (pimples & anti) altogether. So ITTF is doing the next best smart thing. Which is to keep all tactical rubber users under full ITTF control but pass one rule or regulation change after another to severely limit the capabilities of tactical rubbers & torture them until they quit but at the same time pretending to love diversity of playing styles.
I hope this explanation helps

So what this means is that ITTF will NEVER ban pips. They will continue to keep pips players under their control and continue to abuse & torture them. by limiting the pips / anti players with more & more rule & regulation changes . Pips players have no self respect or self esteem because they think something is really wrong with them & so ITTF is justified to mistreat them. This is the abused spouse syndrome.

In fact the situation is so bad that ITTF could even make the following changes to further limit pips / anti but still the pips / players will neevr get a clue & will continue to delude themselves ITTF is a corruption free fair minded organization that loves all playing style.
