The day people use only appropriate tags is the day I will know peace.
I get you want people to read your writing, but the least you could do is use appropriate tags. There is no reason to have Luke Hughes fics in the Elias Pettersson tag.
words cannot express how pissed off i am at the news of trump being invited to the championship game on thursday. so a fascist president can be invited to a game, but players can't wear pride jerseys or any other specialized jerseys during warm ups? it's "keep politics out of sports" until the politics align with your harmful views
me when i get asked why i suddenly dislike a character (i can’t tell them it’s because i read a fanfic where said character made y/n’s life miserable and now i have personal beef with them)
Hussein Alezzi, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Yemen
south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?
If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:
While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.
One thing that pisses me OFF, is the fact that people don't know how to use tags anyone. Like why are you tagging irrelevant stuff.
Why is f1 tagged in a post about football?Why is there SMUT in the FLUFF tag? Why are written stories in the smau tag? Why are you tagging Oscar Piastri in a post about Charles Leclerc?
There is no reason to have to scour through abunch of posts that have no fucking reason to be there shouldn't be there to get to posts the are actually about the tag.
me to posts that don't have anything to do with the tag I'm looking at:
is now a good time to talk abt "it's not about politics" in relation to sports. i'm sorry but literally everything is about politics are you stupid 😭 what a stupid sentence i hate it so much. and i've yet to see anyone draw a line in the sand about what "about politics" actually means. in the case of hockey it seems to be that visiting the white house isn't political, it's just tradition. but pride tape is too political, and the sport isn't about politics. in the case of f1, wearing a shirt to raise awareness for human rights is too political and why do you have to bring politics into our sport, but allowing a convicted felon running for president into the garage of one of the top teams is fine, bc it's obviously not about politics.
it's literally just a buzzword that people throw around to excuse some behaviour, and not others.
and i'm sorry, but in a world where professional athletes can go on podcasts and talk abt how they're totally not sexist, but they just don't think people should be allowed to get abortions, and where alex ovechkin has been basically doing the work of putin's PR team for the last twenty years, everything is fucking political. even staying silent and having no observable political opinions is still political, because ignorance is a privilege that a lot of people can't afford. there is no possible way to seperate politics from something as commodified and commercialised as professional sports
