i know very little abt the stanley cup discourse so maybe im wrong but all the posts i keep seeing about it seem to just be making fun of people/calling them sad for liking to collect stanley cups and tbh i think you guys are being mean for no reason lol

#kat chats #like none of the discourse posts seem to be about like. idk stanley cup business practices or manufacturing #like the discourse posts abt apple for example that point out how they are destroying congo #like the posts telling ppl not to buy the newest iphone center that #but literally all i've seen is just people being like omg it's SO sad that these white people are staking out a target for a cup release #and like. i guess if you wanted to bring up that it's a starbucks collab an starbucks is a morally bankrupt company--#--currently facing a grassroots consumer boycott and buying starbucks branded items to show off is advertising for them #like SURE again i think if the discourse was about this and was centering how starbucks is anti-union & targets pro-ceasefire workers #then yeah i'd be on board #but for real every post i see about it is just 'what if we were mean over a vaguely harmless thing bc its a white person thing'#and idk man. there are worse constructions of whiteness than liking these stupid looking stanley cups #it's the same with the live laugh love shit like LISTEN. is it vapid and ugly? yes #but people are allowed to like vapid and ugly things that's not a crime #and as i grow older i find myself liking less and less this bullying works mentality.#like what if we put our energy towards things that mattered. like protecting palestinians and advocating for an end to occupation #u know?#anyways. sorry again if somehow stanley cups are a racist dogwhistle #but insofar as i know their only sin is that they're fucking ugly
