Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Really believing something (anything) about the personal life of somebody you don't know personally, despite minimal evidence that it's true, or plenty of evidence which actually contradicts it, is tinhatting. "I think Seguin is gay" falls under that, "I think there are probably gay players in the NHL" does not. The second option is general enough that it's not making assumptions about the personal life of one player.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)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 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.
