Sigh. I Hated the guy for his hockey but he's Like That too huh? -_-

also before people start trying to equate sid with what the rat did can i just say that i watched both the 2016 visit and the 2017 visit and sid's behavior was completely different - right up front in 2016, lots of photos, big smiles. Vs 2017 it was very obviously just a formality and sid said nothing. (also also the rat didnt say anything about who he voted for he just parroted the usual southern patriotic line? I dont see why people are jumping to conclusions that he is a diehard conservative from this? I dont think this totally negates the efforts i have seen from the rat in promoting LGBQT rights in a very very red state like florida. Not to defend a guy whose hockey i hate or anything. I just dont think fans should start getting angry at other fans who are willing to overlook this comment, or forget that the rat has said he believes everyone belongs in a hockey locker room during an era in the league where this is not the most popular stance)

(but also blacklisting the rat's name on tumblr works VERY well i should know, lol. Him and the candy cane chicago guy are my two blacklisted names. Its like they dont even exist anymore :P)

(but also i know how hard it hurts to realize that someone you admire from a distance might actually treat you like shit in real life just because of what 'other' group you belong to, so my sympathies to fans going through it right now)

#Blah blah blah i am very lucky because i have a strong feeling #That my favorite at least can see straight through the orange cheetos bullshit #Do i think artemi has as liberal political views as i do?#Probably not. But in the past couple years at least bread seems much more open minded #And not one to fall for the insane fascist nonsense happening in the US right now #Geno? Is a bit more of a question i try not to think about that one. He is very apolitical #He is too well connected to the upper echelons of society and his wife is...well...That #But if you sat geno down alone without any outside influences and asked him #If he believed in equal rights for all humankind i think he would say yes #So i hold onto that lol #Boots penguins liveblog #you know what this reminds me of?#the way fans idolize someone...until the minute they find out something *Bad* about them and then #suddenly it just switches to unadulterated hatred #makes me extremely uncomfortable because like if they hadnt idolized the person in the first place #and instead looked at that person as a human being with flaws #they wouldnt also decide to hate this person - who has not changed btw! just the perception of them has changed - as vehemently as they do #i always think about j*oss wh*edon and how while everyone was hailing him as this feminist god #i was one of the lone voices pointing out that hey some of his older writing material was kinda creepy and sexist in some ways #so i liked his work enjoyed it a lot but also didnt idolize him #and when he had the fall from his godlike pedestal i didnt experience that hatred everyone else felt #it was more like shit yeah i saw that darker side of him from the start in some of the microagressions he would write #but that didnt stop the good parts of his work from being really damn good???#i dunno maybe i am too moderate sometimes or too willing to overlook things
