"People on here are only mad at the US Mens team bc they found out the guy from their fanfic isn't the same as him irl" is the most brain dead fucking take I have ever encountered. *pinches nose bridge, sighing*
First of all...you do know a lot of us do not engage with the rpf side of the fandom at all, right? That plenty of us are just regular boring hockey fans? (Gasp it's almost like you don't HAVE TO sexualize the players to enjoy a sport)
How about because so many of us are women athletes? Or queer fans? Or even just people who fucking read actual history books enough to understand that the Trump administration is following the Rise Of Fascism playbook to the letter, complete with secret police, threatening sovereign nations, and propaganda puppets trotted out on stage to make him more palatable????
But sure, the only reason someone might have a problem with this misogynistic clownshow is because it ruins their rpf. That is certainly a take.
