in accordance with the latest imperial decree we are removing all men from sports. if you want to continue to play you must take the estrogen immidiately

[sport-news-daily]

to reiterate: it is not importnat if you internally.consider yourself a woman just that it is now a requirement of sports you perform femininity. the purpouse of this decree is simple: we are seeking to creste a system.of gender thatll baffle archeologists and create endless discourse about "okay but was tom brady really transfem?" in the year 3000

oh, okay. i see. you think rpf has nothing to do with you. you go on the internet and say heated rivalry rpf is immoral and invasive because you’re trying to tell the world that you care too much about these actors to read fic about them, but what you don’t know is that the rpf is not just a byproduct of their good chemistry, it's not just parasociality, it’s actually the only next logical step.

you’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2011, hbo produced a documentary series about the washington capitals vs pittsburgh penguins stadium series, and then i think it was on livejournal, wasn't it, that sidney crosby/alexander ovechkin hockey rpf began to really circulate widely. and then sid/ovi rpf quickly showed up in the collection of several prolific fanfic writers. then it filtered down through tumblr and ao3 and then trickled on down to miss rachel reid herself, who no doubt was the first to be brave enough to send it to print

however, heated rivalry represents millions of works by countless hockey rpfers, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from rpf when, in fact, you’re watching a tv show that was selected for you by the same rpfers you're condemning... from a pile of "stuff"

is anyone else losing their mind over the Hobey Baker letters we're about to get or am I the only one left on twitter

for non-hockey people this is like someone coming out like "yeah George Washington was gay and all his friends thought he was smoking hot and also he was fucking Benjamin Franklin. Probably"

[swifty-fox]

Baker was also the inspiration for literary works. In 1913 F. Scott Fitzgerald enrolled at Princeton as a freshman, when Baker was a senior. Though he only spoke to Baker once during their time at Princeton, Fitzgerald idolized him.[16] His first novel, This Side of Paradise, has several references to Baker: the main character is named Amory Blaine after Baker's middle name, and the minor character Allenby is Baker himself.[77] Mark Goodman's 1985 novel Hurrah for the Next Man Who Dies is a fictionalized account of Baker's life

oh they so fucked
