I hadn't thought of the kink meme as a context where things could possibly get ambiguous until another anon mentioned it, and I thought that was a good point, because I had been thinking about things like twitter convos where the context would be super obvious. But the only prompt on the current post mentioning "Muzz" (in the subject line) also called him by his full name in the prompt, mentioned teammates Sid and Phil, and asked for a celebration of his playoff performance. You can make a point about wanting clearer subject lines for the sake of organization, but saying Pens fans need to stop calling him Muzz!! That name is taken! It's confusing! is silly. I guess Flyers fans need to stop calling Giroux G, or at least call him G on the Flyers. And the Caps should just rename Nicklas Backstrom.

I do wish certain people would be clearer in their subject lines. Sometimes it's just a pairing with no mention of the very specific kink scenario outlined in the prompt, and sometimes it's basically a sentence of how the prompter got inspired with no mention of kink OR pairing!

I track, though, so these are the kinds of things that make me decide whether to open a given comment notif email or not. I guess if you're just reading on the kinkmeme it doesn't matter.

Same, tbh! I like full names, pairings, and kink in my subject lines. But to me that's a different complaint than the one that was voiced which just came off as kinda entitled and world-revolves-around-me (esp because there was no mention of the kink meme/subject lines, it was just, stop calling him that!!).

Oops, I don't know why I marked that as da, I'm ayrt. Sorry!!

ayrt

Yeah, agreed. IDK if the kinkmeme was even what they were talking about! They never said.

Re: Fandom Venting

Did you skip half the words? It was stop calling him that or include context.

Re: Fandom Venting

Is it past your bedtime?

Re: Fandom Venting

I didn't skip any words. Did you hallucinate some? The only mention of context was by the people who responded, because they all found it hard to imagine a context in which it wouldn't be clear if someone was talking about Matt Murray or Jake Muzzin.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

So you did read it. You're just choosing not count it, because you don't believe such a context exists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Fandom Venting

Using a shrug emoticon does not free you from the responsibility of making any sense, nonny.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Using insults doesn't keep words from meaning things either, nonny. I don't know why people on this meme feel the need to nitpick every fandom vent or exaggerate what was said, especially one like this where the OP clarified their meaning. But I do know it's tedious to read.

Re: Fandom Venting

ayrt

Now you really are skipping half the words. OP's complaint didn't mention context at all (as you claimed it did when you made the jab about skipping words). Other anons in the thread discussed the kink meme as possibly such a context, which you should know, having replied to a comment where that was happening. And regardless of all that, even if people confusing Murray and Muzzin is a super common thing, the original complaint is still entitled and whiny! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this reminded me that giroux also is sometimes (unfortunately) called "g baby." so if There Can Only be One, i guess we at least have a backup plan.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Ahahaha omg. Watch someone get mad though because they got ~confused that you were talking about Malkin's baby and shipping him with Crosby or Simmonds or whoever.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

This flat memer thought for a second that you were replying to the comment with Nicky Backstrom with Baby Nicky. There are only ten names and five nicknames in all of hockey.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I guess that's good if you're a journeyman player. You don't have to learn new names, just reassign them to new faces. :p If nothing else, just call out "Brandon!" and one of your teammates is bound to respond.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I immediately thought of a team to which this doesn't apply, which then makes me want to find out which first name appears on the most team rosters.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I think someone's done that before. I think Matt and Ryan were the most frequent offenders?

... @Strome parents.

Found it. Thanks for remembering the most useless facts as always, brain.

Re: Fandom Venting

I think the reason for Matt and Ryan being two of the most frequently seen names is that those names were extremely popular in Canada (at least, my neck of the woods in Canada) in the early 90s. Like, my tiny elementary school class had two Ryans (and FIVE Michaels, but that's besides the point here).

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Someone actually sort of did this and wrote an article about it, like most and least common NHL names or something. All I remember from it is that there is only one Sidney, no active Marios and Waynes (I think they were really interested in players sharing names with "greats"?) and a shitton of Mikes.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

So the moral of the story is that if you want your kind to be a "great" hockey player, don't pick a male name that makes the list of most popular baby names in Canada that year?

(I just googled out of curiosity, and there will be a lot of Liams, Logans, and Lucases being drafted in 18 years, if anyone was wondering.)

Hey, sometimes it's Brenden.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

My team has neither. Clearly we need to make some offseason acquisitions.

Re: Fandom Venting

I like Roo. It's also a joke as roux means redheaded, which places it pretty high in the quality nickname ranks.
