This was under an Oscar edit 😭

The concept of losing your first run for a wdc and immediately after being accused of being in a relationship with a former US president and having “bottom little yearning eyes” really is something

Oscar's dating Obama, who is also dating Harry, who is also dating Louis, who is also dating Lando, who is also dating Oscar, who is also dating Obama, who is also dating Ha

the 2026 season will have new fans saying they got into it because they saw an oscbama edit on their for you page, and I think that's beautiful

Oscar’s winter break is the funniest shit rn.

Man has not said a word and he’s being shipped with Obama and apparently is a home wrecker who broke apart Obama and Harry Styles relationship?!

And heated rivalry cast member Hudson Williams said Oscar has bottom little yearning eyes?!

I think this post is going to be like swinging a baseball bat at a papaya shaped hornets nest, but I do not care.

The fan related media handling of Oscar Piastri was rancid this year. I’ll be referring to two instances and only two instances to make this point. Im not making commentary or judgment based off any other things.

First (and admittedly the media have a fault in this): pushing this cool, ice cold, ice boy narrative on Oscar when he on multiple occasions asked for that not to happen was icky. Let men be emotional. Furthermore, it puts him in a weird place with an expectation that he will have a calm reaction to everything and any minor ‘infraction’ is being blown out of proportion because he “lost his unshakable charm”. It also draws more attention to lando’s emotionally expressive branding and forms this oversimplified juxtaposition between both of them that is bad for both of them. It would be one thing if he was consenting to it and playing into it but he was not.

Second (and admittedly, Grindr has a lot of fault in this), bottom gate was not acceptable. This is sexual harassment. Im gonna say it. It’s one thing in clear RPF spaces like ao3 or fan blogs to call someone a bottom, but involving a super popular public figure and filming them talking about it such that Grindr gets involved and these messages are out in the open is *crazy work* and again quite literally *sexual harassment*. Oscar’s mom accidentally liked a TikTok about it. I saw a post from someone saying that they wondered what Oscar’s sister thought about this. That is insane. I think because so many rpf fans are young straight people, that they don’t realize (in general lol) but how much of a connotation that has. Youre not calling him uwu submissive, you are calling him someone who predominantly receives penetrative sex. That is the (closer to, but obviously there’s nuance) correct definition of bottom, so in your head, when calling someone a bottom in public forums, please be substituting that definition in your head. “I wonder what Oscar’s sister thinks about people saying he predominantly receives penetrative sex” sounds crazy- because it is- and that is what people are saying. That is sexual harassment at a massive scale. I hope Grindr faces consequences. I won’t get into the fact that these drivers drive in places that are not queer friendly.

This problem is routed in the dilution of top/bottoms as terms and they have been bastardized to now mean that tops are the manly man macho dominant gay and the bottoms are the submissive woman weak gay which is not a given in the real world and also many queers are vers, even tops and bottoms often aren’t always 100% top or - *has a moment of mental clarity and decides to stop writing out this point and goes outside to finger some grass*

Bonus point: oscbama is hilarious and should continue. I have zero issues with that at this moment based on what I’ve seen. Sometimes I wonder what Obama thinks about being shipped with a random young dude every few years.
