#Mitch Marner

[austronauts]

my dear siblings in arms last night we gained an unlikely but welcome ally for the mitch marner defense squad

he showed up in a cloud of mist then leapt into hand-in-hand combat vs. the leafs uncles who want to do a variety of things to mitch, ranging from cyberbullying him out of town to "healthy scratch[ing] him for 2 months so he wants to leave" (an actual idea someone thought to post publicly).

without further ado, i present: [cue gladiator soundtrack] Jfresh.

some additional observations:

if u look at the timestamps for these he was fully in the trenches battling from 3pm-1am.

his calm replies make the uncles look even more obtusely deranged than they already are

he may be doing this with the ulterior motive of trying to get mitch on the penguins and honestly....let's fuckin go

[highdefinitions]

but he disappears in the playoffs. right.

I think I wouldn't even care so much if the way people criticized Mitch wasn't always so strangely personal and almost demeaning? Fine, if it's actual criticism of his on-ice play but he gets psycho-analyzed in a way I've never seen before, and the terms that get thrown against him are almost misogynistic in nature? He's a whiny princess, a bitch, spoilt when he shows emotion and frustration- because you need show emotion, you need to show you care but apparently, not like that. If you're Nathan MacKinnon you can yell at officials and teammates and break a hundred sticks, and that's all alright because MacKinnon plays hockey the right way. The masculine way. He's not a bitch, not like Marner, who they dearly wish they could call a slur probably

It's actual criticism of his on-ice play but it's always splicing it when you point out no, actually, Mitch leads the team in playoff points, no, actually, Mitch got the game-winner on the only game this team has won in the second round in twenty years, no, actually, he was not the one who should have been covering Pastrnak on that goal and you just think he shouldve been because he noticed no one was there, etc etc etc. Like I have a popular post going around Right Now about mitch not being able to grow a playoff beard but people look at that -- they look at him -- and see weakness, femininity, a myriad of traits to be demonized and done with !! It's sickening !! It is sick !!

I'm not even a Leafs fan (or a Marner girlie! I like him fine but he isn't one of my main little guys!) but I've noticed how he's been treated by the fanbase, the media, the coaches (looking at you Babcock) for years and been absolutely appalled by it. I do think there's a strong element of misogyny underlying it all (and probably some homophobia), you're right and you should say it and I want to read that essay.

it's honestly ridiculous, and it's the same criticism that gets aimed at any hockey player who is smaller than average, except it's magnified due to it being the leafs and being toronto. he's always been treated this way, like people try to rewrite history and say they were fine with him before the contract but it's not true. babcock didn't even WANT HIM DRAFTED, but thankfully he wasn't the one making those decisions.

it got worse after the contract, but my thing is always that people don't realise where he was at at that time. he was still a rookie, under team control, and facing down years of being coached by babcock. babcock's contract only expired at the start of THIS SEASON. which means a young mitch was facing seeing a large portion of his career being coached by a man who didn't like him, wouldn't put him and auston on the same line, would take any opportunity to humiliate players he thought weren't good enough, like... I would've held out for the money as well.

the language people use for mitch is absolutely coached in homophobia as well, which comes all the way back to misogyny, because the worst thing these men who hate him can think of is being perceived as feminine. as weak. as less than a man in all the stereotypical ways. they'll throw homophobic comments at auston and willy as well, but they don't go full tilt misogyny because those two dudes are bigger, not as smiley, and they don't see them as being weak in the same way they see mitch. (which is wild because auston is the softest man in the world (affectionate))

these men see mitch as being weak, small, and too soft. they don't see the kid who fought his way to playing professional hockey despite being told at every turn he was too small. they don't see the kid with the lifelong passion for the leafs. the kid who always wanted to wear the logo on his chest and still wants that more than anything DESPITE all the criticism and hatred he faces. they don't see the kid who had to tell his dad to stop talking to him about hockey because he knew he'd never be good enough for him. they don't see that mitch is, actually, one of the strongest hockey players in the nhl for all he's been through to get to where he is.

they like to blame the contract and how much he's being paid, but that's an excuse. they hate him for not playing into the stereotype of a hockey player, despite being an ontario boy through and through. they hate him for being him, and staying faithful to who he is despite everything that has been thrown at him.

it would've been so easy for mitch to give in and become the person they all want him to be, but he didn't. he stayed true to himself and his kind and loving nature, and the fact that so many people don't appreciate that and would rather smear him, says more about them than it does about him.

auston matthews after meeting mitch marner for the first time in the elevator at world juniors

[highdefinitions]

one day i will write a study on mitch marner

mitch marner & easy for you to say by 5sos

[reinnette]

adding to discourse cuz i thought of quinn during the toronto game (and everything circles back to the canucks for me)

i remember seeing this

and getting worried about him but at the same time i knew he was gonna cook something for the next period

i remember some people were shitting on him for not keeping his emotions in check and being a good captain (tho others were praising him for being a captain that cared that much about the game)

well, the game ended 6-4 canucks, and quinn factored into 3 goals including the 2 in the third period that secured the win

i guess the dots my mind is trying to connect is the fact the ends justify the means. who cares if natemac or quinn throw “tantrums” (not tantrums but any display of emotions really) when in the end they produce points? to the masses, they’re fueling fires that result in wins so theres no reason to call them whiny

i feel bad for mitch here bcoz that one tantrum of his (from yesterday when willy kinda yelled at him) is spinning a whole new narrative and ofc its not justified that he showed frustration becoz it didnt result in a win (he did get the only goal for the leafs tho, which people will say is too little too late)

other dots in my mind: hockey culture and the display of emotions?? but idk what else to say abt it

i hate when people call players whiny (especially when its quinn, gtfo) because i think its a tense environment and emotions are high, so let the emotions out (this is NOT an inside out ad but the nhl x inside out commercial was funny) anger is normal and its okay to show it yknow 🧿 emotions DO need to be kept in check but we shouldnt shit on ppl for showing it either

idk its a lot of thinking, what do yall think 🦕
