@kynxberk Its giving "gold winning Olympic athlete who took the ENTIRE world by storm" vs "some guys who did pretty good in a niche sport watched by one country".
Like PLEASE.
@EllipticalMan@LuciaLobosvilla The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe was a childhood staple growing up, too. All of Tolkien was encouraged to children aged around 10. I was reading books of at LEAST 250 pages when I was 8 - many, if not most, of us were.
@Nova_Norse@Ariafayeee If you're peeing then you're probably in a locked stall. If someone is so determined to attack you that they are breaking down the door, then they probably aren't going to the effort of transitioning their own gender, given its so difficult, expensive & socially fraught.
@Veronicatrash13 Someone saying a male goalie has the best shut out rate in ice hockey & Shane firmly saying that's wrong, its actually a female goalie, Andy Murray style
@snoopyilya Or PDA jar but its just for Roz because he's so clingy. Shane initially keeps his distance but then Bood yells "that's a twenty!!" at Roz & Shane turns around to see his husband trying to kiss Hassy after a shut out.
@IlyasCigarette Thank you!!! I've been a fan my whole life & I hate it when people ask me which player is cute, its so condescending & weird. (The answer btw is none of them.)
@eitherohgren Right? Visitors are (accurately) treating the USA as a novelty fairground, eating too much sugar & drinking, just having fun & experiencing new things that they don't particularly care to repeat.
@transshollander I actually was complaining to my husband about the LACK of hockey in HR and its fanfiction, and he was like "...I don't think that's why people are reading them??" I WANT MORE HOCKEY.
@minrozanov Back in the day (π΅) we knew we'd "made it" when plagiarised versions of our fics started popping up on https://t.co/aGuL0IzhOr & tumblr but now I guess it's accusations of AI? (So on one hand, CONGRATS you made it!!! β€οΈ)
@inuyarasha_ Australia has a bit of this but also its bcos the Matildudes just aren't EXPECTED to win? Vs cricket where people might spit on the players if they give England the Ashes.
