Stop 👏🏼 acting 👏🏼 like 👏🏼 Yuzuru Hanyu 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 Yuuri 👏🏼 Katsuki
This shouldn’t even have to be said, but guess what?? It does!
Recently, I’ve seen a lot of YOI fans get interested in Irl skating, which is great. You know what’s not great? Taking real life skaters, real life people, and acting like they are nothing more than characters in this amazing anime. They are humans, not characters.
Yuzuru Hanyu is a 22-year old ice skater from Japan, and he is absolutely amazing. He’s broken multiple world records, preformed amazingly despite him taking a face first fall on the ice (which really fucking hurts), etc
But kind of comments does he get for that? Comments like:
“Bruhhhh it’s a real life Yuri Katsuki!”
“Where’s his Viktor at 😂”
“*referring to when he clashed into another skater and took a face first slam onto the ice* OMG what if this happened in YOI” These are actual comments I have scene on YouTube videos about Yuzuru’s skating/his performances
Oh and let’s not forget the little bitch who changed Yuzuru’s entire Wikipedia page to fit as if he was Yuuri (they changed his name, and took off all the names of his coaches and put Viktor, and just messed up a lot of articles)
Do you understand how messed up this is? This isn’t some anime for this man, this is his career; his life.
What’s okay: getting interested into ice skating due to YOI, making comparisons to skaters to characters: but not overly so, to admire ice skaters
What’s not okay: acting like irl ice skaters are Yuri On Ice characters, making serious situations that happen to ice skaters something related to a ship or any situation in Yuri On Ice, harassing a real life skater due to resemblance they might share to any character
Cmon YOI fandom, I know you aren’t bad people.
