@existingwexo The "I don't think zombies would eat me because I have a positive outlook" video might work.

Geno nation how do I explain to my mom my obsession with malkin because other than "everything he is and does is perfect" I can't seem to put into words why hes so endearing #iluvgeno #evgenimalkinpureofheart
English
@hollanovist I genuinely think it is a projection problem. People develop these parasocial bonds with a character, and so when the author says "aw, Shane, you stupid" what they hear is "Rachel Reid is calling *me* stupid."
English
@makemegentle Some people genuinely seem to think that the characters are like... real people who are going to get their feelings hurt or something. I've seen people call it rude and stuff. They aren't real, and her insulting a made-up character isn't an insult to you!
English
@AfricanKhaIeesi It always read to me like a very mild ribbing of the fact that athletes are always going on some trendy new performance diet that they treat as the One True Way and then abandon when the next one comes around.
English
@makemegentle I truly don't believe anything would ever convince Shane he needed a diagnosis in the first place.
English
@gncgalactus "Lied about previous hangman experience" sounds SO made up, but he did!
English
If there's one bright spot in history it's that a handful of the most vile mass murderers of the 20th century, and certainly not enough, died miserably at the hand of a real Homer Simpson of a guy
Interesting AF@interesting_aIl
This is John C Woods, the hangman of Nuremberg trials, who lied about being experienced to get the job. He claimed to have learned from old cowboy movies His incompetency led to excessive suffering of condemned Nazis

@retrocvnty The song they made out of this for the musical was a banger, too.
English
@AfricanKhaIeesi There are nuanced discussions to be had about romance books in general and HR in particular but some of these people just do not understand the romance genre (or hockey, frankly) and are upset that RR isn't like... the Christopher Isherwood of hockey novels.
English
That’s my thing like you’re bullying a real human being over FICTIONAL characters!!! Her writing is certainly not perfect and you can criticize it. But some people also forget first and foremost these books are gay hockey smut and were never going to be that deep.
my diary✌🏾@popmakemoney
y’all get very misogynistic over rachel reid like omg
English
@BOSBruinsHC Yea, I'm bummed we are out, but honestly if it had to be anyone I'm kind of happy it is Buffalo. I hope they do well in the next round.
English
@hollanovvs People also act like he is being shipped off to parts unknown and not his literal hometown.
English
still thinking about the people who were mad about shane going to the cens and "not being paid his worth" as if he would get the league minimum of $700k and not like...$7m-$8m. such a funny bunch
English
@hollanovist People expect a bizarre level of realism from a book you get on the shelf between "Runaway Regency Rake" and "Seduced by a Mob Boss" or whatever.
English
@hollanovist Yea I think the more obvious and less bad-faith reason is "she writes ROMANCE NOVELS, of course everyone is going to be out and happy and in love by the end of their story."
English
i really don't think so at all but of course everything has to be interpreted the worst possible way here
Sofia (back to delulu) 🐝🌻🦄🦋@pamericachavez
I think a lot of RR’s writing issues come from the fact that she sees staying in the closet as selfish & cowardly. It’s the main source of conflict for Skip too and it’s only fixed when Scott “gets over it” and is “brave” to kiss Kip. Which is why it TLG she justifies Ilya being-
English
@sereshores @hollanovvs She gets so much heat over stuff that a quick google search of like... Sidney Crosby and Nate McKinnon would just tell you is taken directly from real life.
English
@hollanovvs i'm rarely bothered by heated rivalry fans not knowing stuff about hockey... but is it not common knowledge that there are plenty of undiagnosed pro athletes?? everyone just has the worst faith takes about rachel reid
English
am i the stupid one for thinking she regrets it because it won't be confirmed in the text? is that not what she meant here?
wen ꕤ 🪩@wendrryyyy
well well well……….it’s not looking good
English
@hollanovist I think rabid fandoms are just going to result in authors doing fewer interviews and stuff geared toward fans in the future. Why do an AMA or release your early drafts when some online lunatics are just going to drag you and take everything you said in the worst possible faith?
English
@ineffablecris Either that or he is going to stab Kyle Dubas with it.

vediamo chi si ammazza più velocemente a vedere geno con un jersey che non sia dei penguins tra me e sidney crosby
evgeni malkin's bald spot@sidgeno88
I WILL NOT FUCKING TOLERATE THE CONCEPT OF 2026-2027 SIDNEY CROSBY HAVING TO PLAY AGAINST 2026-2027 EVGENI MALKIN.

@chibibinch @hollanovvs I laughed so hard when I first read it, I've never screenshotted something more quickly in my life lol.
English
i will always be on rr's side mostly bc for all her missteps, things i think she did badly and things i think she could improve on, the people going at her have some of the most bad faith and illiterate takes i've ever seen
English
@PUCK1SM Yea, some people are acting like the rest of the team is having to carry him which is absolutely *not* the case, and there isn't really anyone lined up to take his place, either, so what do they gain from not having him next year?
English
@Wildfyrewarning im sayinggg. as if everyone in that locker room (including the younger guys who still have so many years to win a cup) wouldnt be glad to be a part of his final season/s anyway 🤨 its just a respect thing and its not like he doesnt have the stats to back it up either
English
me thinking geno should be extended aside, it irks me how disrespectful it is to keep one of your franchise's generational players so in the dark abt an extension that him and his entire team are basically dry begging to keep him on the team he's had loyalty to for over 20 years
English
@brdmoedr A great question to genuinely ask is "what do you want me to do to fix this situation?" like an actual, practical thing you can accomplish. If the answer is basically "nothing" you can just shrug and move on, because some people online really just want to be mad.
English
"Holding someone accountable" is a woke version of creating a lolcow to fling shit at but at least the chuds are honest about it
Typell 🏳️⚧️ WataNare Arc@prototypell
once you realize that when people talk about "holding someone accountable" online they mostly just mean public humiliation a lot of discourse arguing about whether some person or another should apologize for their actions or not gets very boring
