Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Wow nonny that is some idfic right there. Not my idfic but good stuff nonetheless.
Mine would be more like Nate Mackinnon, master pastry chef grew up with his best friend Jo Drounin, máster cake decorator. But they were cruelly forced apart when their internships took then far from each other. Nate found great success at Avalanche Bakeries while Jo struggled as his cruel boss Yzerman denied him the chance to practice his craft. Nate and Jo find themselves drifting apart as Nate's star shines while Jo seems to fade. And then Nate is spotted with legendary pastry god Sidney Crosby and Jo wonders if it's too late after all. Obviously this being my idfic, there is a crisis at Lightning Cakery and Jo saves the day with his master decorating skills and decides to fight for Nate. He drives all the way to Nova Scotia to interrupt what he thinks is Nate's wedding to Crosby (actually just secret pastry lessons) and throws himself into Nate's arms and they live happily ever after with amazing baked goods.

From: (Anonymous)Like nonnie above me said, I was talking about women in hockey, not women overall. I don't know what you think a poll about women in the US has to do with a population that's largely Canadian, anyway.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)*head desk* No, I can't use overall patterns to predict how other subsets will behave. NOR WAS I CLAIMING THAT. I wouldn't even use it to make claims about hockey people in general because the stat is specific to the US. I was just mentioning it as an example of women not being as different from men, and people in general being far more homophobic than people realize a lot of the day. That's a rather unique misreading. Sorry, if this isn't you, but are you the person upthread that's claiming that someone demanded sociological proof that hockey players are more conservative than other groups? Because that sounds like a similar misrepresentation (misunderstanding?) about the conversation that people don't have to believe that all hockey players are voting for Trump.
Anyway, the comment I to here was not clear to me who they were referring to, I guess. I thought they meant that women who comment in hockey fandom were more LGBT-friendly than men who do. If they meant pro players, I think the fact that you've got semi-out female players and not even retired male ones who are semi-out speaks for itself. There have been out retired players in other North American sports like football for over 40 years now.

From: (Anonymous)Oh bad Yzerman not letting Jo Drouin decorate cakes until he saves the day. I would enjoy your version also!
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I don't think that's quite the same thing, as I think there's a certain amount of homophobia in that rhetoric. ("The gays are doing it to themselves, haha" or "lol, he's probably just so fucked up by our incredibly homophobic culture that he's trying to pass legislation that will destroy himself, isn't that hilarious?". Neither are good looks imo.)
But I agree with you that it's not believing someone might be gay that's tinhatting; it's warping or inventing the "evidence" no matter what reality is telling you.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I wasn't that anon, but it seems like you're carrying over a grudge from that previous conversation about Trump (which I did not participate in). By your own admission, you're the one who misunderstood what people were talking to. Maybe getting so ott about it isn't the best way to move forward from that point.
Re: Fandom Goggles
From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I honestly don't know how you'd think that we were talking about women in hockey fandom. The OP's comment was entirely about players and the pro community.
I think the fact that you've got semi-out female players and not even retired male ones who are semi-out speaks for itself.
No kidding!
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)There's also the tragedy of the Oilers Bakery where wunderkind young bakers go to suffer but I haven't fleshed it out too much. Ovechkin is of course an artiste and everyone is baffled how Brent Burns hasn't gotten in trouble with a health code violation.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I probably wouldn't call it that, just because I normally only use that term in a fandom context. But just suggesting as a one off thing is different than being invested in believing it, which is something else I associate with tinhatting. So that situation would probably be borderline tinhatting, I guess.
Re: Hockey Media
From: (Anonymous)I suppose it makes those secret writer fics more plausible.
Seriously, Scott Gomez just became 1000x more interesting to me. I wish it was known about him back when he was playing that he spent all his traveling time writing poetry. I don't think he was a popular fic character, but even including that in the background of a fic would have been fun.
Initiation, I won’t go there
I’ll keep that inside with pride
But holy shit
If the public knew what happened
On those long bus rides…
:( I don't want to know. I just want it to stop. Fucking junior.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Plus, they have obvious on-ice chemistry (their numbers shot up as soon as they were put together - even before HBK).
Re: Underrated Fic Writers
From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Maybe the Sharks run a trendy San Jose dog bakery instead of a people bakery? (Less stringent health code, probably.) I feel like it fits with their...everything. Vlasic's million dogs could be the taste-testers.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)It's not a big mystery; I misread this sentence: Fandom's having fun tearing into Torts because they already hated him anyways, but others aren't better, and the women aren't any better than the men.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I don't follow women's hockey very closely, but I seem to remember someone bringing up a fair amount of women hockey players being fairly conservative the last time people were talking about the CWHL's failed YCP campaign.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I misunderstood who people were talking about, not what. Even if I had been talking about the same group of people, there was nothing about trying to figure out how specific people would behave like you wrote. So, yes, I misunderstood one thing, but I still think you were misreading my comment independent of that.
I don't know what's so OTT about bringing up a possible similar misunderstanding. Like I said, sorry, if it isn't you.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)There was a discussion on reddit last year about how Ovi sometimes starts skating midway through the anthem, but fans don't really mind (although sometimes he gets booed). Caps fans, is that a regular thing that he does? :)
