My "in general" was meant to differentiate the general discussion of werebeavers from those specifically talking about Crosby.

What does that have to do with the fact that you accused someone of "whitewashing" for not buying that there's a connection between "hockey players in general" and "victims of colonialism," as if once you specify you're not talking about Crosby, it's suddenly a thing that makes sense to say? You clearly weren't referring to or thinking about the First Nations people until someone pestered it out of you (as you pretty much admit yourself), so regardless of what conclusion you've now apparently reached, you did actually do what they accused you of, which is generalize a historically specific atrocity.

which is generalize a historically specific atrocity

For the sake of headcanoning a werebeaver AU, because that's part of the tradition of the "were-canon"!!

Hockey players as a general population, which includes First Nations players, as opposed to hockey players named Sidney Crosby, which excludes First Nations players.

I called it whitewashing because I perceived their comment to be inherently excluding victims of colonization-First Nations peoples-from the hockey population, especially since there's a non-insignificant history of First Nations people playing hockey dating back to the time in question. I haven't come to any new conclusions by being pestered. Believe what you wish.

I can't believe this entire argument is about werebeavers.

NA

I'm always kind of amazed as to what people will wank over. Tbh I was enjoying it more when it was about whether people would believe the existence of werebeavers than the weird dovetail into racewank, but it's still amazing how anything can lead to wank.

I really don't think arguing whether people would believe in werebeavers was wank. That was just disagreement in a discussion.

NA

I was completely uninterested in there werebeaver conversation so I was cheerfully scrolling and deleting the thread from my inbox when I saw what it has descended into. This isn't the worst meme I've ever been on when it comes to wank, but it takes it the most seriously.

Me neither.

This is truly a new depth reached by meme.

Don't tempt fate nonny. That's what I thought after meme's last dumb wank and look where we are.

Which one was that?

My money's on "meaning of redeye" wank.

I'm betting legal definition of kidnapping in the state of New York.

Anything with people arguing against a textbook definition put right in front of them, really.

When it's a "textbook" definition of something irrelevant to what's being talked about — Or your textbook is an asspull —Or your textbook is wikipedia — Etc. — People are going to argue.

lol

It's an argument about someone who thought it would be fun to bring the real-life history of colonialism into an AU about werebeavers.

Yes this is about ethics in werebeaverism. No one is actually going to write this.

SA
Also, I gotta say that the indigenous people turning into animals trope is not one I want fic for. I vote the Canadian Olympic committee dopes its players and the side effect is werebeaverism.

Na

Hell, I vote that anyone born on Canadian soil during the full moon is a werebeaver, and there, it solves all the dam problems.

That'd be a lot of people, so I think it might cause a lot of dam problems, because there are too many damn dams.
