I get that people want an enemy in every situation but idk why it's so hard to just accept that people like jk rowling will see anything and find a way to make it about their vitriolic ideology. People cry after losing olympic challenges all the time. Carini in particular was crying because in losing she failed to keep a promise to her recently deceased father and also because she had been hit in the nose, which will make literally anyone on planet earth tear up (a totally legal hit afaik. just one that produces an unavoidable reaction). She admitted she had been wrong in not shaking khelifs hand and apologized. She said that if she were to see her again she would give her a hug. Like I don't know I feel like there are more productive targets to focus on. Yeah she acted shitty and unsportsmanlike in a single emotional moment; this was coopted and her words were mistranslated without her knowledge. Something can have bad consequences without it being a deliberately calculated evil mastermind move. In the meanwhile at the Olympics: did you know that the netherlands sent a man convicted of raping a 12 year old to compete? That's fucking insane to me but I guess it does make sense. They allowed Israel to compete after all

in true gem fashion as i come back to the dash i have to talk about details related to the scholar king ( yeah that’s a literal title the university refers to him as )
okay but that being said — this is literally a picture taken by a fan(?) and posted on the forum without his knowledge
like obviously when reading the whole dr. ratio’s school notes it was just entertaining and you’d probably go “ me fr ” but the more you look into it the darker it appears
it’s clearly a textbook example of borderline fanaticism and other posts like the user “ dr ratio fan club ( insane version ) ” only alludes to how drastic future or current posts might be
after the interview i can only imagine how hectic the forum would have been and the type of posts that ended up floating around — some which might have expressed hatred to aventurine
i think it’s extremely fascinating but also concerning for dr. ratio to be seen in this celebrity - esque light considering he already has plenty on his plate — the ceaseless pressures and overwhelming burdens of being more than he already is

whenever people say drivers aren't athletes, it always kills me.... feels like it's such a devaluation of how great of shape you have to be in plus the element of endurance that not just any regular person could do. like i don't even see the realistic argument against it besides the fact that those opinions just come from people who don't know anything about motorsports, lol.

i hate that these companies instead of promoting their artists correctly they are like "let's send them to a mnet survival show that will probably deteriorate their mental health and literally won't lead them anywhere bc that's what is gonna fix everything" I JUST CAN'T STAND IT
