Re: Things You Wouldn't Admit Unanon

I don't know, I'm perfectly willing to believe a PR person runs his account, but this conversation leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it's similar to the condescending attitude meme takes towards hockey players. Like certain people (not you specifically, sorry) on here are informed anthropologists who have deep insight into hockey player culture and their personality and their twitter abilities.

Look, he's perfectly capable of making his own dumb jokes about his lack of yoga skills. It doesn't have to be a PR person.

More to the point of what you said, I don't think the privacy thing holds water because regardless of whether who is doing the tweeting, that stuff is out there now. A super motivated person could go track down the gym he's training at, or whatever. Unless his PR person has gone rogue and is getting their hands on pictures of him to tweet, he must be ok with it.

To me, a person worried about privacy would be most concerned with control. With his own account, he can choose what to or not to tweet. If he gives out his phone number, he has to trust people not to give it to some stalker. If he lets people film his house, he has to trust embarrassing household item or car license doesn't end up in the final cut. That kind of stuff.

There's a bit of "lol tumblr", too, which, for sure it's tumblr, but wouldn't you expect people with a photographic memory of every public thing he's done have some reasonable grasp on his personality? There's way too much focus on the coke and "hooker girlfriend" stories and not nearly enough on the constant anecdotes about him being crazy intense about health and kind of a giant hippie.

Right? I like how people are so suspicious of the simple explanation of fanon!Toews being accurate and consistent with the information he puts out about himself. Like, you wouldn't know about my ~bad habits~ from my social media accounts either, and I'm not even a public figure.
