“some of y’all talk about f1 drivers is literally no different from frat bros” fuck man there really needs to be a phrase for the types of straight girls that fetishize gay men (none of the drivers have publicly stated their sexuality at all) through their own fantasies and covers it up by saying ‘representation’. Have you noticed how the couple almost always becomes one dom and one sub, one masc one fem.....straight girls can’t conceptualize gay couples any other way. Plus I think that there’s something....that they’re taking advantage of when drivers don’t explicitly state their sexuality which 99% of people in a professional context just don’t do. Last summer there was a post asking ppl not to make F1 pride edits with drivers as LGBTQ members seeing as the drivers themselves bar Lewis have never stated any sort of support for the LGBTQ+ community or identified as part of the community.....and people ripped into her saying ‘well you don’t know that they’re not they never said anything!!!!!’ Like they know damn well that most of those drivers are straight, I’ve seen Carlos fan fiction who is a literal fascist, you think he’s not also a homophobe??? Like I feel for the people who want representation but this ain’t the way, show your support to out athletes instead!! There are out women in the W series!!!! Idek where I went with this, it does hurt sometimes because I know who some of these drivers support politicians that are actively far right (Carlos, Max, Kimi) and probably couldn’t give a crap about people like me who suffer under those politicians if they get elected, and it doesn’t matter to the straight girls who write that fan fiction either because it’s just a fetish and a game to them

shit when did tumblr do away with the character limit for asks fugsdhifug but thank u for giving me an opportunity to further “pop off” as the youths say

first of all i believe the correct term for girls (whether they’re straight or not) who fetishize gay men is “creeps” <3

anyway i’ve said it before and apparently i’ll have to say it again: drivers’ sexualities are absolutely none of our business. if any of them are gay, they are under no obligation whatsoever to come out. yes representation in the pinnacle of european single seaters would be great, but at what cost? since several of these drivers allegedly support far right ideologies, there’s no way an LGBTQ+ driver would feel safe being out in that environment and i personally would NEVER want someone to put themselves in danger for my own benefit. i have a hell of a lot of respect and appreciation for queer athletes who are out, but especially in motorsports, i completely understand and do not blame those who stay closeted for their own safety & peace of mind. 

and on that note: why the fuck would a queer driver come out knowing how fangirls treat gay men in fanfiction lmfao. and if you think drivers aren’t seeing your shit, or don’t even know about the concept, you’re a damn fool.
