thinking about that tweet that said you watch how figure skating fans act and completely understand why the sport has been so nugu for years, and how it continues to be true
Anytime a casual watcher is impressed with Alysa we are obligated to overwhelm them with clips of a hundred run of the mill skaters who had zero impact on the fs scene, let alone larger audiences, or we might die.
is it too woke to say that mass quoting the guy who liked stateside and showing him videos of other skaters is lowkey just another way to squash alysa 😭 like why can we not just let this guy praise her in his little tweet without inundating him with skaters we think are better
#them have used the “it's your fault for taking larpers seriously” argument many times and now they’re trying to make a big deal about a local being impressed by alysa… let's be fucking serious.
So so sorry to tell you all but I have taken the hard decision to withdraw from Skate America. I don’t think I have the experience enough to fight yet and seeing the situation I will have probably people waiting in line. Fear not, I will be back💔see yall on NHK parking lot💗
