@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 The narrative overrides reality & many ppl assumed it was more evidence of racism due to prejudice. Both the broadcasters and Wilson were in the wrong here, yet never faced accountability. League literally invented a fake rule to excuse Wilson's non-ejection per league rules
@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 Take the most recent case of Aja harassing a Fever fan. The fan stood up, pointed & said "That foul is on you". Perfectly acceptable. Aja lost composure, stormed fan section & got in his face. Broadcasters said "Aja never acts this way so he MUST have done something wrong"
@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 WNBA media, like Duncan, league admin, players and coaches all have power to shape discourse and lead by example to demonstrate the behavior they want to see. Its their responsibility to do so and have failed repeatedly. Racist fans have no power shape discourse systemically
@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 If you have no interest in a good faith conversation, then dont engage. But the irony of projecting your own toxic biases onto two people who are speaking to you with respect, claiming they are the problem, should give you pause and is a perfect example of the broader issue
@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 Prejudice against an entire fanbase is divisive. It is not "a large majority" of fans. It may feel that way because they are the largest, most active fanbase, so you run into more of their minority voices. By claiming thousands of innocent ppl are cancerous, you are divisive
@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 A) AR is responsible for her own poor behavior B) I dont deny there are racist Fever fans, but there are racists in nearly every fanbase C) You asked how Duncan contributed to this and then ignored the answer to insert this red herring
@Jjj1980493@bahamiangyal23 Her complaint about toxicity & divisiveness was itself divisive, scapegoating the largest fanbase & implying they alone are responsible. Takes no accountability for media pitting CC/AR early, sensationalizing CC stories & reporting false racism allegations in Gainsbridge
@wbbmayer This doesnt deny/excuse Fever fans' racist contigent, but A) most fanbases have significant racist discourse B) fan/league behavior arent equivalent. League must act with integrity and model what it wants to see. They had power to dictate tenor of discourse & failed
@wbbmayer Toxicity didn't go away because league offices, media, players & coaches treated Clark & fans w/ resentment, hazing, & gaslighting w/ clear in/out groups instead of inclusivity they preached. They assumed the largest, most passionate fanbase could be bullied into submission
@BSJ1833@zulueditsae@cc22report Her point is the WNBA space is toxic/divisive, while implying that is coming from Fever fans. His point is scapegoating Fever fans contributes to that division. No one said there aren’t racist Fever fans, only that they exist in all fan bases
@BSJ1833@zulueditsae@cc22report If you are claiming something, then state it clearly. Don’t insinuate
Fever fans don’t have a monopoly on racism. Here’s Aces fans being racist to Young. Black Fever players are called every name under the sun. Media assumed Wilson’s crash out on fan must’ve been due to racism
@chrisb_edwards@Electivecross02@AdventuresFinn No, it acknowledges that you are incapable of understanding a point in real-time without regurgitating talking points that youtube grifters fed you to exploit your grievances
@chrisb_edwards@Electivecross02@AdventuresFinn I already addressed this: everything good about TLJ was immediately scrubbed from future projects as a knee-jerk reaction to fan tantrums. Nothing that came afterwards was influenced by TLJ. You got exactly what you wanted and now hate it
@chrisb_edwards@Electivecross02@AdventuresFinn Once again, I'm not going to spoon-feed you ideas/points you are committed to not even considering. If you are truly confused, feel free to find the answers yourself. There are plenty of thorough breakdowns online for those willing to look
@chrisb_edwards@Electivecross02@AdventuresFinn Why would I recycle a convo already had over multiple tweets above with someone demonstrating they have no intent of engaging it in good faith?
I don’t expect to change your mind, I’m stating plainly why your points are foolish so you can’t claim ignorance & should know better
@chrisb_edwards@Electivecross02@AdventuresFinn “Don’t blame the fans that insisted it be this way instead of exploring the obvious setups left by RJ” 🤣
The fact you’re not blaming the actual director or studio for a film, let alone the countless movies/shows that followed, or pretending they had no agency is disqualifying
