mte, i'm lost. something about underage players?

Re: Fandom Venting

I'm starting to think it's one of those prank things, where everybody complains obliquely about something without linking, because they're actually making it up.

konecny @ tumblr accidentally reblogged a post about pedophilia research on her hockey blog instead of her academic blog. an "anonymous" user responded with a long post conflating pedophilia apologia with shipping teenaged hockey players. it's been a mess on twitter from there

I may have blanked this out, but just to check:

- where was PK before the trade happened? I think I read he flew back in from vacation after it was done, can someone help me find information confirming/ruling that out? (Andif he was on vacation, would be good to know where :) )

- what kind of car does Carey usually drive?

Thank you!

Re: Ask Meme - Re: time around subban trade

[(Anonymous)]

I believe PK was in Europe when the trade broke; two days before on the 27th he flew to Paris, and by the 5th he was in Croatia, so he was traveling around the continent quite a bit.

Carey usually drives a dusty old pick-up truck, which you can see here. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canadiens-goalie-carey-price-a-country-boy-at-heart-peter-mansbridge-1.3014918

He was in Paris and supposedly in a restaurant eating foie gras when the trade call came.

PK was in France (Paris, but I'm not sure whether he travelled in France, too), he arrived on the 27th, I think. One or two days after the trade he travelled to Croatia. This is from what I remember from his Instagram, if you want specific dates you could check those posts!

Wow, "here is my anonymous friend's essay on a post that was accidentally reblogged and then deleted, I am posting it for them in its entirety but they want to remain anonymous!!!!" is one of the more wanky ways to do a call out post that I've seen. Why didn't they just send it to the original person's inbox as an anon if they knew she was going to see it anyways?

ayrt
Thank you so much nonnies for responding so fast! And to the nonny who suggested checking the actual instagram, thank you for reminding me of the option.

I guess I've chosen my Twitter well, because I haven't seen a word of this. Yuck.

Re: Fandom Venting

lolin' @ the idea that junior hockey players, of all the groups of people in this world, need to be protected from a 20 year old "sexualizing" them.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

As opposed to the 19 year old! Lol.

Re: Fandom Venting

Obviously junior hockey culture is incredibly shitty and fucked-up, but that doesn't make it impossible for someone to be creepy about a junior hockey player, or even junior hockey players as a group of people.

(I mean this entirely separately from the post above, which I don't agree with. Even beyond the fact that it's by definition not pedophilia even if one is being creepy about a sixteen-year-old, the reblogged post that sparked the callout wasn't even bad.)

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I do think there's a point to be made in examining how fandom talks about underage players, but I think the "anon" who did it went about this totally the wrong way. It seems like they've had a bone to pick about this for a while and chose to frame their argument as a call out of one specific person, probably for ~drama, but it's petty and their argument surrounding the original post excusing/supporting pedophilia is inaccurate and way off base. It might be a good thing that they started a conversation about this, but I'm uncomfortable with basically accusing somebody of being a pedophile because they're interested in junior hockey.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, honestly, I think the call-out OP probably just thought this was a great opportunity to call people who ship juniors guys or, gasp, think some of them are attractive creepy.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

And if it's juniors guys who are 18+, I'm not sure what the point of moralizing about it is.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, at least in my corner of fandom, players don't get any attention until their draft year, and even that comes with plenty of jokes about them being too young, so I don't think there's much to say about how fandom talks about underage players. I could see some argument about age-appropriate interest in juniors players, but that age would have to be much higher than early twenties. Especially since juniors teams tend to be more skewed towards 18/19/20 than (15/)16/17.

Re: Fandom Venting

DA

I have noticed an increasing trend lately where the definition of "child" or just "young" kind of...shifts upwards, I guess? It's weird, because there's two competing things - one where the second someone hits 18 it's creepy for them to be friends with/follow anyone underage, and the other where young adults are treated almost like children ("X needs protection, they're only 19/20/21, leave them alone", etc).

I have some theories as to why they're both happening, but it's definitely something I've noticed both in hockey tumblr and as a part of general tumblr culture.

Re: Fandom Venting

SA

...which is to say that there may be some moralizing about how young the guys are even if they're 18+ because of that second trend. Sorry, I realized after I hit post that I left out the one sentence that actually responds to your comment.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I've noticed it on tumblr and also like. With young white men who have committed crimes.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

na

I've seen people on tumblr claim it's inappropriate for someone over the age of 18 to interact with someone under the age of 18. Like, ever. I don't understand.
