13 plus 14 equal one

The (Un)Official Curtis Douglas Primer!

yk. i think the thing that makes me roll my eyes the most at a lot of the recent fandom incidents(tm) is when people just act really incurious. like, no, gally going to VAN is not like that fictional guy going to ottawa, but you wouldn't know that absent any further information. it's the "can hockeytwt tell me if". it's the "is he gay and in love with his teammate", it's the "i need you all to pat me on the back because i've randomly designated this asian-canadian player shane hollander". no desire to find out for yourself, no interest in learning about these people or the sport they play - just asking other people to supply or congratulate the narrative you've already chosen to impose on a real-world event/person, and when they won't play ball the kneejerk response is to declare people "soft" and "homophobes" instead of asking why they're not willing to meet your expectations.
