@pickslimin @Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz and that’s okay, you don’t have to watch it! that’s the great thing about media, is that it can be interpreted in any way. i loved off campus and heated rivalry, and they are not meant to portray the same story! both stories are important for their own reasons:)

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@pickslimin @Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz i totally agree! role model is set to be adapted into hr, and covers the topic of the nhl covering for a man who committed sa multiple times. in the long game, it also touches on how the nhl commissioner doesn’t want to “tarnish” the image of the nhl with sa or queer players.

@Butera3Flames @sickbastard1402 @grceyluv @storriehudsonz there’s hundreds if not thousands of tv shows about college kids and athletes, but you can’t say the same thing about queer stories, can you? i agree with you where there isn’t enough sa representation in media, but the 5th books of game changers, role model, has representation.

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz the couple has to hide for decades in fear of losing their careers, their closest friends, and their reputation as a direct result of their sexuality.

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz don’t get me wrong i enjoyed off campus and have read all of the books prior to the show even being announced. i also will not argue that unfortunately their are people who overstep their boundaries with the actors, but off campus is not a story where-

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz i think you’re mixing things up. the show is about two closeted men who’s worst nightmare is getting outed to even their closest teammates. the show is ‘kiss and don’t tell’ because it brings to light how the league and our society makes queer people hide because of who they love

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz and why did they not feel the need to hide anymore? or why did they feel the need to have to wait until they are retired to come out?

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz rachel reid, the author of heated rivalry, expressing their gratitude for the show, and how it struck a nerve with them. all of the closeted athletes who see this show and how people respond to it, might have gained some hope of them being accepted one day.

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz would you also like to argue about how over 90% off the fans of heated rivalry are queer themselves? or how pride tape and pride jerseys were banned from the nhl because of so called “distractions”?or how about all of the athletes that came forward to-

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz has never, not even once, been recognized because of the continued hatred we see towards queer people in hockey? heated rivalry is not beloved by many because of the sport of which they are playing, it’s popular because it’s a space in hockey where queer people are accepted.

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz so i guess you must have missed that heated rivalry is the most watched series ever on hbo max? or that the reason the nhl publicly acknowledges off campus when heated rivalry, the show more centered around the nhl, -

@Butera3Flames @storriehudsonz funny how off campus has more nudity than heated rivalry, isn’t it?

@Hollanov_Fics i don’t know how the author feels about sharing their deleted fics but i’d they’re okay with it i have the download to it

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]

@Hollanov_Fics i know its definitely money shot by cutshot because i downloaded it when ao3 went down for those dark days but i think they’ve deleted it unfortunately

[ali 🐞 @idkkk87]
