The sweet taste of vindication. Three years late but as relevant as ever.

@louiseradnofsky What’s more, the official English commentator, a Canadian man with questionable attitudes towards young girls, fills the event with hyperbolic praise and blocks anyone questioning covid protocol: https://t.co/Nf1YNUwmw0

@Misscourtina @rebelohio Ted is blocking anyone who calls him out - he blocked me too 🤦🏻‍♂️

@yuzushanyu for woke peeps who always talk about whiteness as a social construct and oppressive force beyond nationality and ethnicity, particularly when excluding asian-americans, I wonder why this point escapes you.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@quadrupleloops @yunawasrobbed14 Who are among, if not the, most overscored skaters in the world, I ain't gonna deny it. So how does your point still stand without erasing their experiences?

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@yunawasrobbed14 So?

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@yunawasrobbed14 @quadrupleloops Sounds about white.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@quadrupleloops @yunawasrobbed14 I'm not racist BUT can I order a side of Asian-American erasure to make my point about why my take on who is an oppressed POC and who isn't?

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@quadrupleloops @yunawasrobbed14 Girl no one needs your white savior narrative that conveniently erases every single Asian-American skater and their struggles with the word "nuance" and lumps them in with white Americans just to fit your ... I think agenda is too generous of a word for this topic.

@courtneymilan @KiraraChin @cursedaxel @InTheLoPodcast Except that’s exactly what the pictures imply. Also most of them are from the US and Canada. That’s not exactly “international.”

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@KiraraChin @zhenyas_unicorn @InTheLoPodcast Of course they’re now deleting pics while creating alts... consider that the official response. Cowards.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@grasshopperay @zhenyas_unicorn @InTheLoPodcast I’d say it’s more hypocrisy because their accounts are full of self-righteous calling out of other irresponsible young people.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

what world do we live in where stalking a skater from mexico to toronto for the sole purpose of sitting at a bus stop and manipulating moms = acceptable behavior. skaters don't exist for fans to live out their dreams. abhorrent.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@SitTwizzles @xosarahmarieeee With the exchange rate it’s about the same in USD. Don’t get me wrong it is still exhorbitant but this is the fault of SC trying to emulate the overpriced Japanese model, not exceed it. Idk why anyone would pay this much to go to Montreal tho. It ain’t Tokyo.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

Is it not strange that Vincent Zhou’s scores got heavily inflated shortly after his relationship with Hamada grew stronger in the 2nd half of the season? Weird to think Jfed would do this to itself but then I remember how they publicly tweeted anti-Yuzuru bs so... what to do.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

Japan scored Zhou 1 pt higher than USA and scored Chen 9 pts higher than USA. Meanwhile USA has no qualms about underscoring Uno by 7 pts. Wtf Japan???

@rockerskating Jackie why are you avoiding my (and others’) legitimate critiques of 1) people who act like this to you; and 2) your gaslighting of the scoring issue to reframe it as a fan war to like comments portraying YOURSELF as a victim when all you are doing is avoiding the real issue???

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@rockerskating There’s no problem between these two competitors. But sure, focus on them to avoid talking about actual issues in judging that they have no control over.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

Amazing how the ISU itself is admitting to this blatant and disgusting corruption to our faces, and still expects us to fall in line. This isn’t an autocracy, get over yourself, Eric. How he got elected is beyond me.

[figuretealeavely @figuretealeaves]

@Rad85E @sheils1002 @AshWagner2010 Can you explain to us why, as an ISU rep, you have minimal understanding of the rules of the sport, which are objectively laid out in a document, you’re now purporting to lobby for? Transitions and GOE are artistry now? CSB.
