your fave is problematic - Jannik Sinner edition, part 2

allegedly suspended for three months but secretly got a BBL instead

came back from suspension just to tell us all he was single

still a sickly Victorian child (Cincinnati final)

addicted to winking at his 'generational rival' (rizz lord)

waited over a year to show us pictures of his (massive - but definitely not fat) Norwegian cat Yeti

struggles with putting on party hats

wasted three match points in the Roland Garros final, still came back to win Wimbledon a month later (my crippling anxiety could never)

accidentally cursed Grigor Dimitrov

absolutely rawdogged Wimbledon 2025. No physio, no trainer, no elbow, no first serve, just a backhand and a dream.

king of doing side quests (easily bored)

full time tennis player, part time Andrea Bocelli backing singer (???)

dressed as a video game plumber for a whole ass grand slam, and still somehow pulled it off

I think a question that's good to ask yourself sometimes when you're trying to recover from tumblr-induced moral OCD and reading into the lore behind 20th century artists who's art you like is, "am I deliberately trying to make myself as uncomfortable as I can with this information because I see it as my moral obligation, or does this information actually genuinely bother me to the point where it means I can no longer engage with that person's art and persona on its own terms?" because the distinction might be subtle, but it IS actually worth it to be able to tell when you do and don't actually care. I think a lot of us are capable of acknowledging someone who's artistic and personal contributions we value did/said something problematic at some points in their life, and then coming to terms with it and being at peace about it. It just kinda feels vaguely immoral to just decide you're actually okay with dialectics when it comes to YFIP-inspired gossip culture, but like... it's not actually a moral thing. it's not about them, not really. it's about your internal peace of mind, and you do actually deserve to sleep at night.

Weird Al made a Christmas movie where he played a villain who was kidnapping Santa’s elves, but people thought it was real and he got taken to court over it. There were posts all over Tumblr and Twitter about how he was now problematic whether he did it or not because even if he didn’t he still ENDORSED elf-kidnapping by playing this character.

- fighting Matteo Berrettini and Casper Ruud in a Disney Prince-off
