@AmFootballin It’s not a thing. Maybe in swimming but the sports most Aussies care about aren’t the same as those you guys do. There is a clash though in cultural style - your “we’re the best/ in your face!” without knowing cheekiness is jarring. You’re seen as a tool if you do that here…
@TVMovieAddict He was a victim but not entirely innocent - his indifference to her & “his baby”’ was a sign of both depression but also that he had absolved himself of responsibility - to call her out/ test the theories, break up with her so maybe she could have had a “stillbirth” in private.
@UncoBazaar The officer not caring about the baby was pretty grim to watch - shows either low IQ, compassion fatigue or something deeper. The doctors could have breached confidentiality to prevent probable serious offence to identifiable third party - pregnant or new mothers and babies?
@dontpisssmeoff0@xAlmightyDJ@Raindropsmedia1 Agree, a significant proportion of men just don’t see men raping/raping babies / abandoning families as any indictment on their gender. They just can’t - or don’t think they should have to, or see it as natural as part of what women and children should expect & adapt to.
@Kenanyarc5@dontcareandknow It’s all shit talking, Turks are using convict history & deaths of ancestors at Gallipoli etc to mock Australians. No moral high ground. It’s all a shame response to losing (and for some a pride response to winning). Anyway, let’s see how we both go in our next games! 🤞
@BoranGltekin5an@dontcareandknow Yeah I wouldn’t understand that & that sucks. Turks shouldn’t think Australians (over 99% of them) had any anti Turkish sentiment going into - or coming out of - the game. Australians are a non-serious people. Some Turks on here deeply upset in a way that’s foreign to Aussies.
@sennyesimm@dontcareandknow And “normal” people aren’t on social media / aware of a kid at a sports game. They are living their lives. There is no slippery slope to hell going on. It’s a small amount of Australians - & Turks - “trash talking” after a game and an even smaller group within this being assholes
@sennyesimm@dontcareandknow Am saying: don’t make a sports game blind you in nationalist fervour & emotion. A sense of belonging to a country is great but once you start reciting facts & myths from hundreds of years ago for eg (versus say a current war or travesty) you have likely lost perspective.
@Kenanyarc5@dontcareandknow How intense! You’re really attached to being offended, it seems. As I said, almost no one was joking about the child; there’s negligible anti Turkish sentiment in Australia, just some trash talking from some men after a game and social media distorting things. There’s no blaze.
@Kenanyarc5@dontcareandknow Are you mad at the cameraman for filming him? But I assure you over 99% of Aussies did not care about the kid for more than second during the game and did not think about him after - until this one guy’s tweet and then the vocal Turks reacting with deep humiliation & indignation.
@Elgreco27306315@dontcareandknow History is part real part imagination/myth - but either way unless there’s an active war/ human rights breach between the two teams, it’s all a bit weird and desperate to start drawing on your country’s historical highlights because you lost. Humans & their emotions!
@schumann1856 He was using the exact words of an old tweet / meme from an ENG v FRA game. It’s not a reflection of reality, just a bit of dickhead talk after a game - which happens. No anti Turkish sentiment or need for diplomatic intervention.
@oguzhanbilgin Hey, he was repeating a meme - it’s the exact words of another tweet from another game re English kid fans. It’s poor taste but not that deep and not reality. There doesn’t have to be an international incident over this. We don’t have animosity towards your country or people.
@melbprieto@turk_kanii You need to relax! It was boyish humour sure, but always people who enjoy gloating to the losing team, in any sport. But it’s not true, we didn’t all laugh at the boy. He’s tweeting the exact words of a tweet from an old England v France game. This isn’t a diplomatic incident.
@ArthurMorgan27@AshPunch@yapmaboran I can’t write to every unhappy Turk on behalf of Australia but yes I’ve said he’s a dickhead in other replies- but to expect a few dickhead winners after every game. Don’t take online as reality, almost all Australians would welcome any Turkish person for a post game chat!
@ArthurMorgan27@AshPunch@yapmaboran I can distinguish but I can’t and didn’t equate them. I didn’t say dominate comment was an insult either but it naturally added some extra heat to the game. And my point stands: most Australians did not have any reaction to the kid or more than a wry smile/chuckle (at a baby fan)
@ArthurMorgan27@AshPunch@yapmaboran Don’t worry about it - after every sporting game, a small number of people (usually men) rub it in & humiliate the losing team even more. Very few Australians have used the child’s image, & the reason there was extra heat to the game was because of your side saying you’d dominate
