The entire reason i hate sports is because of the gendered bullshit that meant it was okay for people to assume and expect or demand that i like sports, and whatever i did like was stupid because it wasnt sports. No one was stepping in telling people to a let literal child enjoy things
Umm ackshually you’re a basement dwelling loser. You’re stupid and childish for not conforming to my neurotypical expectations of how a person should behave. Don’t you socialize with people? There is something wrong with you. Why yes I am very leftist.
I love logging onto hexbear dot net and getting flashbacks from 20 years ago of manchildren “adults” harassing an actual child over disinterest in getting major league brain damage and sports in general. I don’t like sports just like I don’t like certain flavors. I’m just not interested. But everyone had to fucking psychoanalyze me and determine that there was something deeply wrong with me. Of course I had undiagnosed ASD but if known they would’ve just used it against me even further. If someone tried this again in real life I’d be trying real hard not to sock them in the jaw.
Denigrating sports haters as stupid abnormal (gasp) basement dwellers reinforces centuries of cultural discrimination against both a significant swath of neurodivergent people and an also significant swath of neurotypical people who happen to have different interests by brandishing the “social unifier” of sports.
Making offhand jokes about “sportsball lol” has literally zero cultural impact and doesn’t contribute to societal-wide denigration of those deemed “different” or “abnormal” but the sports fanatics act like someone murdered their dog. Reminds me of “cracker is a racial slur”.
For anyone who spends time moaning about the sports haters being mean, all I have to say is, you have the entire weight of the vast majority of society behind you. Fucking get over yourself. You never, ever have to deal with any real harassment and bullying over you liking sports.
Every fucking time a socially disadvantaged group starts pushing back against cultural stigma and norms (or even, get this, mocking them, the horror!) these people peel their eyes away from the BIG GAME to bitch and whine about how they’re being maltreated. Indistinguishable from conservative backlash whenever someone suggests accommodating the “different”.
If you think sportsball jokes are “bullying”, or do the thing where you apathetically remark about how it’s annoying or whatever, you need to check your fucking privilege, because you haven’t experienced even a fraction of what the sick depraved abnormal people have.
Just let an out group vent for once without making it about yourself and how it’s personally annoying that we’re making jokes about your sacred cows.
Umm ackshually you’re a basement dwelling loser. You’re stupid and childish for not conforming to my neurotypical expectations of how a person should behave. Don’t you socialize with people? There is something wrong with you. Why yes I am very leftist.
“Why aren’t you kissing strangers at a New Year party, you shut-ins? I love you all, but you are all embarrassing the leftist movement by not being basic enough.”
This shit got real enough to piss me off. I did go out and reasonably celebrate with masking and social distancing but because I stuck up for the “shut-ins” when I got back a bunch of mysterious very leftists started chiming in after weeks or months of inactivity to vomit rage at me for not nodding to the sage wisdom of the all loving performative grass toucher and the kiss a stranger sermon.
For anyone who spends time moaning about the sports haters being mean, all I have to say is, you have the entire weight of the vast majority of society behind you. Fucking get over yourself. You never, ever have to deal with any real harassment and bullying over you liking sports.
One of the most glaring signs of unexamined privilege is the primordial fear of being treated the way they treat other people.
Made some ninja edits, but I’ll repeat for clarity,
Sports fanatics being annoying to me usually manifested through bullying and other forms of denigration and belittlement. Me being annoying to sports fanatics has no effect on them other than the energy it takes them to roll their eyes and call me the r-slur and other toddler insults before they trash the cars parked in the hundred acre garage next to the stadium and violently assault rival fans after their team loses before rendering public transportation unusable for the next five hours.
Note: the above is a joking description of a sports fan even if it is descriptive of a significant portion of them. I am putting this here because I just know someone will be in my replies about how I’m persecuting sports fans or whatever.
It costs you literally nothing to just let the out groups vent. It’s kinda like racialized groups joking about crackers and whatnot. Including the corresponding whiny, entitled Facebook rants from angry white men about how the blacks are being mean to them. You don’t actually need to effect any material damage to set these people off, all it takes is the tiniest implication that their worldview isn’t objectively correct.
Anyone who feels the need to use teenage bullying tactics on me for being different because I made a joke they didn’t like can line up over here at the jaw-socking station. It’s my favorite sport.
These whiny, entitled little babies throw a hissy fit every time they aren’t congratulated for conforming to societal expectations.
People like me are bullied through their entire childhood over this stupid fucking bullshit and some entitled neurotypicals always show up to whine about me “not letting people enjoy things”. Out groups can’t even do anything to change something materially, but just joking about their hobbies is enough to send them into a rage.
Like, it’s ok, everything will be fine, sports will still be here tomorrow even if you don’t valiantly defend the sports fandom against my rabid attacks.
Typically, when the knee-jerk defenders of the popular billions-of-dollars franchises see criticism of their treats, they act as if the criticism is some existential threat to the treat, and that’s laughably false when it comes to the head-injury death cult that is the NFL.
You are a one-man bulwark against treatbrained tantrums, Mr. T. Thank you for your service. There needs to be a bot that automates the task of calling out ableism-adjacent denigration of outgroups with ableism-adjacent attacks over criticizing heavily entrenched and, more often than not, oppressive social structures.
It’s ok to not like sports not just because players get treated like shit, but also because some people just don’t care about it. I don’t go around calling people basement dwellers because they don’t share my interest in niche hobbies and aviation (which, curiously enough, is the source for some of the truly unhinged takes I’ve heard. ask me for cockpit confidential stories)
Sometimes I get so deep in the bullshit and your posts help remind me of what an actual, level-headed, sane take should be like. It’s like being pulled out of a mud-filled flooded ditch and put up at the Ritz. That’s a metaphor, which I’ve been told is fascist lately.
If I were you I’d probably lose it, here’s my poor man’s medal hope it loads correctly
Thank you. It means a lot to hear that from you; I’ve been called all sorts of ableist concern-trolly things before (that slowed down after federating, for some reason) so it’s nice to hear a different take here than that.
So in the airlines you’ve got 2 day, 3 day, 4 day trips. This was a 4 day.
Meet captain bigbrain at the airport. First thing he wants to talk about is CRT, and I’m not talking about 20th century television technology. Oh boy, this is gonna be a long 4 days.
Whatever, in this industry you deal with chuds all the time. This was gonna be the same, right? Little did I know he was gonna spice things up later on.
Now we’re taxiing out from the gate. Guy starts really getting into ranting about woke cancel culture and commiefornia. You’re not supposed to discuss non-operational matters at this phase of flight, but is the FAA looking over your shoulders? No? Then fuck them rules. Not a chud thing exclusively though. Just “wow” and “yeah I guess” my way through to the runway.
We’re climbing out and he finally shuts up for once, probably because it’d look bad if he fucked up and they pulled the tapes with him talking about AOC on it.
We reach cruise. Now, you’re not supposed to use personal devices in the cockpit. Is an FAA inspector riding along? No? Fuck them rules. Nobody cares about this. It’s a long flight, you’re not just gonna stare at the instruments for five hours.
“The Chinese sure are industrious huh?”
“What?”
He’s on Twitter and it’s the JBP Chinese dick sucking factory video. He’s zoomed in on the milking machines (is that what you call them?)
“What the hell are you looking at?”
“It’s a Chinese sperm factory. You think they have production quotas?”
“You sure that’s not just a fetish video?”
“Dr. Peterson knows what he’s posting.”
This is how I found out JBP was behind it. Captain Bigbrain is a lobster dude in addition to being a standard chud, it seems.
I just say “mhmm, wow” and the next 3 hours were about as awkward as you’d expect.
I think all treat defenders take it as a threat to the treat. With sports though its bound up in gender identity and patriarchy so i think it gets even more extreme
Are you me?
The entire reason i hate sports is because of the gendered bullshit that meant it was okay for people to assume and expect or demand that i like sports, and whatever i did like was stupid because it wasnt sports. No one was stepping in telling people to a let literal child enjoy things
Are you getting ready for The Big Game™? Do you have Official Product for The Big Game™? If you don’t, what the fuck is wrong with you?
When a bartended it was shocking how many men have nothing else to talk about or any other way to socialize than through sports.
That disturbed me in the break room early on when I started in my district.
There wasn’t much to talk about except
A: THE BIG GAME™
or
B: THE NEW HUSTLEGRIND STARTUP THAT IS MAKING ME MONEY ON THE SIDE DONT MISS OUT BROOOOOO

Here’s the most recent one:
