some of you just aren’t willing to accept that just one team isn’t the problem, the PWHL isn’t a perfectly woke pro-queer space, and that women’s sports have a deeply rooted transphobia problem. riley gaines didn’t come from nowhere.
before you dilute suzuki's historic accomplishment for ur fictional character think of how many barriers he had to overcome just to be seen as equal to his white counterparts and ur micro racism that perpetuates those barriers
i dont think SOME of you realize that bringing up shane hollander every time the conversation is about nick suzuki is so diminishing and honestly a microaggression
HR fans will refuse to learn anything about the NHL and diminish Suzuki’s historic Selke win by bringing up a fictional character, or calling him “Straight Shane Hollander”, instead of recognizing an Asian player making hockey history on his own merits.
history for asian players in the nhl and suzuki’s achievement is made about a fictional character by people who refuse to call him by his name (who the fuck is “straight shane hollander”)… y’all are running straight into fetishization territory

happy pride month🏳️🌈
moving on from gallagher is genuinely kind of incomprehensible for me. he's one of the first hab i can remember from my childhood and he's so integral to my understanding of the team that i don't think it will settle in for quite a while in my head
