Here's the thing, at the end of the day the crew staying silent after months and months is louder than whatever personal belief or intention they have. Because you staying silent has shifted the narrative and now people are putting words in your mouths, because guess what we dont have a point of referance to point to and say THEY DONT CONDONE THIS because we don't, they have given us nothing.

If I see one more person be like "why can't Shane and Ilya just come out? I mean, Scott Hunter did it" I will not be held responsible for my actions so here is a (probably incomplete) list of reasons why that question is fucking insane:

Scott Hunter came out at the end of playoffs (around mid-June), Shane and Ilya are probably at the cottage in July or by the end of June (August is too close to the beginning of the season for them to be "relaxing"). Sure, Scott Hunter received the MVP award (which is based on the Hart Memorial Trophy - notably voted on by the PHWA a.k.a. ice hockey journalists; not other players or higher-ups from the league), which, like, good for him. But that happened at most around a month ago. There's no knowing what consequences will follow his coming-out once the season starts back up. Will he face backlash once his moment in the sun passes? Probably. To what extent? How will he be treated by other players? Will he lose sponsors? Will the media turn against him? There is literally no way to tell at this point.

Scott Hunter is a white North-American man. I feel like a lot of people (and before you ask, yes, they are) completely overlook this fact. Scott Hunter is not already facing racism. He is not essentially the only person of his race to ever make it to this hight of his chosen profession. He is not already facing xenophobia. He is not in the country on a work visa. He does not have to contend with the laws of his home country and possible deportation with very real, life threatening consequences if he is dropped or not resigned. Scott Hunter's worst case scenario after coming out as gay is that he is no longer able to continue playing hockey in the NHL and loses all his sponsors. He quietly retires with the love of his life and his millions of dollars.

Scott Hunter fell in love with a smoothie barista turned bartender and grad student. In the scope of making homophobes uncomfortable, that's mid at best, many will surely come up with their own prejudiced justification that somehow allows them to "look past" his partner being male that simultaneously allows them to not have to examine the rigid societal construct of what "masculinity" entails and what that means for their entire world view. If, however, two players come out as a couple one of them is presumably taking it up the ass while also being one of the top fucking players in the league and out-performing almost everyone on the ice. Trust me. That's going to lead to more than a few fragile assholes who never learned to express an emotion other than anger not-so-quietly masking a breakdown.

Even Yuna fucking Hollander felt the need to ask her son (who also happens to be the most competitive man on earth) whether he had ever thrown a game due to his relationship with another player. Let me reiterate: EVEN SHANE'S OWN FUCKING MOTHER STARTED CALLING THEIR INTEGRITY INTO QUESTION. Every single loss will be analysed, every failure to perform at above the top fucking level will lead to questions.

Beyond that, Ilya and Shane have been marketed as rivals for the entirety of their professional careers (you know, the entire premise of the fucking show). This is a complete breakdown of their brand. This means they have not only been hiding their sexuality, they have been lying to the public. Even people who don't care about their sexuality will have opinions on this. Even people whose opinions are positive will get weird and parasocial to a new extent.

Leading to: their relationship redefines their entire legacy. They will no longer be individually remembered as one of the top hockey players of their generation (who also had a pretty intense rivalry with an opponent). They will always be that gay hockey couple.

Even aside from the gayness of the whole thing, they are two incredibly high profile individuals whose careers necessitate them being pitted against each other on the ice. As much as every professional move will be viewed in the context of their relationship, every personal move that is caught on camera or whispered about too loudly will be blown up and analysed in the context of their professions. Oh, they were spotted out but Shane was frowning, is there trouble in paradise? What will this mean for the upcoming Boston vs. Montreal game? They told each other they love each other for the first time fifteen minutes ago. They're officially boyfriends as of just now. Can they have a second to enjoy that before subjecting their relationship to public scrutiny?

Shane is canonically a rigid control freak (affectionate) with a presumed anxiety disorder whose internalised homophobia/fear made him not admit his own sexuality to himself even after years of gleefully getting his back blown out and only getting through sex with women with closed eyes and gritted teeth. You think he's going to willingly out himself immediately? Be fucking for real.

love that at 34 years old there are still specific situations in which dan is just like “yeah phil can be the adult here.” sometimes that situation is that he let a strange man into their house and sometimes that situation is simply laundry

I think we need to focus on making quote tweets for the tweets that talk about him with good intentions or praise him, and we should pay more attention to them rather than the critical and bullying comments. This way, we can encourage more positive content and drown out the negativity. What do you think?

I think you mean well, but that’s not going to work. No one fan base drowns out hundreds of thousands of hateful comments, because too many people who “love them both” refuse to act like it, because they don’t want to isolate the side that isn’t getting the same level of hate.

It is important to me to preface my comments about Connor with, “I adore him” “I think he’s talented” because although true, the internet does not care. I already have had people in my inbox shooting for him, as if I have ever said something bad about him, and it’s solely because I don’t also like F. It’s because I’ve said, if he’s dating F, I will sort of no longer think he’s a bystander. Like, in an honest to god opinion, the optics are not in Connor’s favor at all, even slightly. He currently right now comes across as a guy who dropped his friend publicly as soon as he got famous, and is maybe dating a guy he had an affair with.

That is the unbiased outlook, because that is what his public image currently shows. The only reason I am wanting to be wrong, is because I am a fan. It’s because I saw him before the drama kicked up, and he does still say Hudson is his best friend. However, has he shown it? Not really. Has anyone from the cast shown much care for Hudson outside of, “He’s a nice guy, I love him.”? No. No one has taken a stance against the racism he’s being targeted with. Even Cal liking the post about how Hudson’s sexuality is none of our business, while nice, is not the only issue at hand, yet not a single person he worked with on this show has said anything.

And it’s clear they’re all online enough to see it. And I brought up the thing about Connor, because that is partially the only thing people keep taking away from the hate train. C and F are being hated on due to a rumor, be respectful, who knows if they’re together or not. But like… why is that the only thing worth mentioning? If Connor is with that man, that’s his choice. If Connor is not with that man, it’s still his choice to let the rumors fly. He is choosing to not speak on anything, so it’s not really anyone’s fault that the assumptions being made about him are leaning more and more toward: maybe okay with racist fans, maybe okay with being assumed a homewrecker, maybe okay with being pushed as the sole lead of HR.

Meanwhile, Hudson is publicly stating where he stands: not okay with fans stalking his friends, not okay with hypermasculinity, not okay with poor queer rep, not okay with tokenized non-white characters, not okay with harassing queer/presumed queer people, not okay with forcing people out of the closet, not okay with ice, not okay with trump, not okay with ai… who he seems to be, is out there for us to see.

Connor choosing to be more closed off is fine, but at some point it can’t be the only reason people aren’t allowed to speak less than positive about him. Allowing him to exist in a bubble, while Hudson is repeatedly dragged through the mud, is annoying. White privilege is working exactly as expected to shield Connor from drama, and he is using it to his benefit. Meaning, no amount of nice tweets about Hudson being elevated will drown out the hateful ones, because the hateful ones are not the minority of tweets.

It’s racist fans outside of HRtwt, it’s racist fans inside HRtwt, it’s the media at large, it’s queer people and allies who demand queer rep being showcased in one way, it’s biphobic people who decided bisexuality or any thing adjacent isn’t good enough, it’s the industry, it’s society. And trying to wrap Hudson up in warmth and care isn’t going to stop people being vile, because that’s not how that works. If it’s going to slow down, it has to be at the hands of the people who are being “defended”.

The cast and crew gotta speak, because right now, all it looks like is, “Hudson is fine. He hasn’t mentioned the racism himself because it doesn’t bother him, and he’s straight, so he won’t say stop assuming his sexuality.” Even though… he kind of just did, with the latter. They’re still going to twist it though, and still continue to ignore the racism, because none of the people discussing the online hate, who have larger platforms, are willing to get intersectional with it. It’s always, “Stop trying to force this man out of the closet! Stop harassing a rumored queer couple!” and never, “Someone’s sexuality being unlabeled does not give you the right to be racist toward them! Stop spewing racist hate to defend a rumored queer couple!”
