encroaching into the private life of a RL woman who has expressly decided to not, at least for the moment, be a public figure in any capacity

Wait, so does this mean it's creepy to write about Paul Kariya now, too? He has removed himself very firmly from the public eye, after all.

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

Is this because he's suffering from post-concussion syndrome? Or just doesn't like any media attention? (Or gay? Not being shippy here; I'm genuinely asking.)

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

He's not gay. He doesn't like media attention. I don't know if he still has concussion issues. I would assume not since he goes surfing.

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

Haven't there always been gay rumors surrounding him, though? (This is another genuine question, from a different anon.)

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, because he wasn't married.

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

Actual gay rumors or doesn't act like an 80's movie villain jock = must be gay rumors?

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough. Is he married? His wikipedia doesn't say.

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

[(Anonymous)]

No, but he has a long time girlfriend who gets mentioned in articles occasionally.

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, OK. Tx.

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

Wait, what articles? I've read a lot of articles about Paul Kariya and have never seen that. (Not that I know anything about his personal life to contradict it, of course -- I'm just curious.) The only "unmarried but has a long-term gf who is occasionally mentioned" dude I usually think of is Jagr.

Here's the first link that came up when I googled Paul Kariya and girlfriend. It's from several years ago, but maybe that's the same one? I don't know who the anon meant, but I remember Teemu Selanne mentioned having visited Paul and his girlfriend or having plans to visit them, not sure which, when people were side-eyeing Kariya not being at the jersey retirement.

It seems weird that you'd throw in "or gay" there like anyone here would know, lol. From the outside, how would that look any different from "doesn't like any media attention"?

Re: Kinkmeme Discussion

Well, I was going with 'X age and not married,' because I didn't know he had a longterm female partner. That was it.
