not that we didn't already Know belos was full of shit, but it's even funnier knowing the titan was still alive the whole time and probably judging him

A lot of you underestimate how prevalent British bias is not only in F1 but across sports generally, and even in other industries.

Max saying he has the wrong passport in the paddock is an accurate statement. Do you think he, Seb, or Michael would've been half as vilified by the British media if they had a British passport instead? Would Fernando? Do you think Yuki would get half as much shit about his radio "conduct" if he was British? Because it's the British commentators who consistently have issues with it, and say shit like it's "unbecoming" for a driver to speak that way, ignoring that 1 it's not his first language and 2 IT WAS ENGLISH PEOPLE HE LEARNT THAT LANGUAGE FROM. Sometimes people misspeak, but Yuki has always taken accountability and apologised if he has and if he caused harm. Martin Brundle did not get nearly as much backlash from the media when he misspoke and called an Asian driver a slur while commentating. He also never apologised for it.

Alex, one of the four Brits on the grid but who drives under the Thai flag, has said that the commentators only call him British born when he does well. He was completely excluded from the Silverstone publicity about the home crowd heroes, whereas George, Lewis & Lando were heralded, not only on race weekend, but for weeks leading up to it.

Alex's statement also reminded me of this Richard Harris quote, "When I'm in trouble, I'm an Irishman. When I turn in a good performance, I'm an Englishman." Genuinely, if I took a shot every time a British organisation/person claimed a talented Irish person was actually a Brit, I'd have died from alcohol poisoning years ago.

Hell, I see George wearing the poppy pin this weekend in the lead up to remembrance Sunday. Do you know the amount of shit James McClean gets every year because he refuses to wear one? And he has very valid reasons for choosing not to wear it, yet he's torn to shreds every year by not only random people on the Internet or on the streets but by commentators and the media too.

Because of how this sport became mainstream and because no one challenged Bernie Eccleston's monopoly on broadcasting rights back in the day (people were given the opportunity to buy a share of the broadcasting rights; the idiots said no), this sport has prioritised the British voice/perspective for decades. I know the other broadcasts are just as biased for their home team/drivers, but the British one is the biggest one, as it's the main broadcast for better and more often for the worst. It's the broadcast with the most reach and influence. Their bias has to be challenged eventually if this sport ever hopes to properly expand and grow. The British bias is so difficult to miss once you start noticing it.

Late Thoughts on Transformers Earthspark, More Than Meets the Eye

Just when we thought @ytv would continue broadcasting #transformers #earthspark after last week's debut, it seems viewers from Canada will have to wait. No #TV broadcasts, but thankfully we offer our #cartoon #animation review of last week's eps instead.

Presented on YTV Nov 11, 2022 The robots in disguise that we all love have gone Terran, and this new series continues from where Generation One ended. Although the events took place many decades ago–the flashback sequences present the original designs–Transformers Earthspark literally evolves the story further. Unlike past sagas set in its own continuity (i.e. universe), this one sees the battle…

Alright..

If I see anyone blaming Dabi for using the footage of Hawks killing Twice for his broadcast this Saturday I will flip.

If I see anyone even suggest that he let Twice die on purpose, or "orchestrated" the whole thing somehow I will fucking FLIP.

Look me in the eye and tell me that if a cop murderered your friend in cold blood and you had video evidence of it happening you wouldn't fucking share it on any platform you had available!!! Especially if you were already planning an exposé about the exact topic of abuse of power.

GIANT EDIT: I LIKE HAWKS GUYS. I DON'T WANT HIM DEAD. I'M JUST DISAPPOINTED IN HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS A POST I MADE WHEN I WAS ANNOYED. YES THE ANALOGY IS BAD (READ THE COMMENTS). I JUST WROTE THIS FROM HOW IT WOULD LOOK FROM DABI'S PERSPECTIVE. THIS POST SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. IT'S NOT ANALYSIS. THE MEME IS JUST A MEME. I'M ALLOWED TO MAKE FUN OF THE CHARACTERS I LIKE. IF YOU WANT MY ACTUAL SERIOUS THOUGHTS ON HAWKS COME TALK TO ME. JUST DON'T BE RUDE. NOW STOP REBLOGING THIS STUPID POST. LET IT DIE!!

I will be honest, I had "protective shadowgast content" on my notably unlikely and somewhat facetious wishlist for the one-shot, to the point that I was only saying it in jest in DMs, because I really did not expect nor need it, and I'm still in shock that what I got was Caleb going from "Trent is below 'grounding my godson' on the list of priorities right now, get the fuck in line, bitch" to "I should've ripped out his fucking spine with my dinosaur teeth" in two seconds flat the moment Trent even referenced Essek.

Like, we all saw that, right? I feel like I gotta confirm I'm not actually having a jet lag-induced fever dream.

this disability pride month i wanna give a shout out to the people who 100% KNOW theyre disabled but have to deal with going through the tedious process of getting a proper official diagnosis. especially if youre just barely on the cusp of not quite meeting the diagnostic criteria so they dont want to diagnose you just yet. the ones who have to monitor their symptoms for months, even years, but the symptoms have melded so much in your daily life that its hard to keep track of whats a symptom and whats 'normal'.

i see you. you are strong. you are not overreacting. you are not faking it. you will get through this. you are not alone.

you are your own best advocate and you deserve to be heard.

so i’m at home still which means i’m watching the silverstone race with my mom and my sister. the last time i was home and it was a race weekend was china and i had to explain to my mom who nico rosberg was because he was commentating. my mom is a lewis hamilton fan (she doesn’t know much about anything pre drive to survive) and somehow came to the conclusion that she should hate nico because he and lewis don’t get along anymore

so now of course nico’s in silverstone and was asked who he thinks will win and obviously he said hamilton so i was trying to explain this again to my mom in case he comes on at some point so she knows who he is and well here’s how that conversation went:

me: hey mom remember that guy, nico, who used to race with lewis?

my mom: yeah you told me not to like him

me: no! i like him! you decided you didn’t like him

my mom: why did i decide that?

me: they’re not friends anymore because they were battling eachother for a world championship

my mom: yeah! then i don’t like him, i like lewis. what about this guy?

me: he’s in silverstone and he got asked who he thinks will win and he said lewis cause he has good race pace and i remember his race pace cause i used to race him and blah blah

my mom: is he trying to make up for years of being jerky by talking about lewis all the time?

me: 😂😂

I don't feel very well

I feel upset and confused and disappointed

and kind of scared for the future... I don't like when people suffer. i dont want more suffering to happen in this community

I'm still going to try to finish my batch of emote redraws, I think... I only have one more to get done.

I'm trying to distract myself, but it's difficult... I feel like I finally stopped thinking about it entirely the other day and now I can't stop thinking about it again

Please don't harass others, for any reason. it never helps anybody. (i don't think yelling at people on anon is going to do any good either; it's not particularly productive. you should think very carefully about what you say to people and what good you believe it will accomplish.)

and please all be more critical of information you come across in the future... it can help avoid this sort of thing repeating
