and there’s something to be said about how gay sex is viewed as porn cuz the scene in heated rivalry aren’t an more explicit then Bridgerton or other HBO shows
.@LAKings being one of the NHL teams who do not have a pride night, and yet using Heated Rivalry for content is interesting and frankly shameful on their part. 😒😒
and still hasn't unbanned the wearing of pride jerseys and still is a transphobe so no i'm not #Moved and no one should be. he wants your money that's all this is
The autistic experience of being blamed for a misunderstanding when you communicated clearly and directly while the other person communicated vaguely and indirectly.
frustrating to see so many heated rivalry fans insist that the show is going to help closeted players and then turn around and talk about real hockey players in ways that will absolutely make it harder for players to come out
whenever i tweet abt shane’s autism & it leaves containment i get ppl saying “not everything’s about autism” well ur WRONG. when you’re autistic everything’s about it actually!! how you think, feel, act, talk, react. so yes everything shane does is linked to his autism pls stfu🫶
People not understanding that autism is not a mental illness and is actually a neurodevelopmental disorder. our neural pathways have literally formed differently. So yes, everything I do and am is inherently linked to my neurodivergence because my brain is LITERALLY different
sometimes autistic representation is blunt line delivery or sensory overload or meltdowns and sometimes it’s folding your clothes before sex or making 8 burgers because that’s what the recipe calls for so why would you do anything else?
kind of obsessed with the cottage unmasking shanes autistic tendencies to the max like yes i am making 8 burgers :) i hope we can relax! :) *perfect loon noise*
not to make everything about shane's autism but seeing the overstimulation and self regulation and then having such a gentle support system to coax him back like. my heart is bursting

heated rivalry isn't popular for some nefarious reason. it's popular because people are starved for queer love stories that have stakes but you know will end happy, the leads have good chemistry, it's shot well, the characters feel real and it was made with passion
There being a hit hockey show and it being gay feels like the show was made in a lab to make the NHL as uncomfortable as possible. They want to embrace the publicity and become a bigger part of the cultural conversation but they also hate gay people.
