I'm hedging my bets he wouldn't be nearly as offended by baseball or hockey players getting lippy. Might even cheer certain ones on.

Yeah, if you aren't aware of how much poo poo talk refs in every sport get it means you know less about sports than I do. Which should automatically disqualify you from talking about sports. Ignoring the completely obvious racism angle it's a really dumb statement.

Refs are the punching bags in basically every sport and it's a big deal when one of them doesn't take any poo poo and actually makes players back off, without threatening to just eject them.

I agree, but in the NBA it's genuinely been a national story this year, and they don't have pro baseball or hockey in Indiana. However, the state is also ground zero for "college basketball is superior because they play the right way" rhetoric.

I like the bench clearing brawls. You have a game with very little athleticism but still rewards extreme athleticism so you have way too many players hyped up for a lovely job that they have to do like a million times before they even know if they have a chance at the playoffs, it's the perfect storm for random on field beefs.

Hockey is the best sport for a number of reasons. I imagine hockey refs have a thicker skin because at any moment they can become boxing refs.

This group I'm in for regional events is becoming NextDoor. This is extremely typical of people who live in Canmore too. They also throw fits if trails get closed because of wildlife. It's really horrible that they're trying to prevent joggers from getting mauled by bears or trampled by moose, I guess.

Men who are insanely angry because their severe personality disorders make women flee from them instinctively seems like a thing most women would understand, having dealt with it personally. The new information would be that they have internet clubs

It was more that these men have based their identity over the fact that they can't get laid and therefore hate women because of it. They define themselves by their misogyny.

The concepts aren't new, but finding out that some men have embraced it so thoroughly I think is the part that requires explanation.

Recently I had to explain to my sixty-year-old mother why there are a lot of angry straight boys who hate the new Star Wars movies and are going around telling everyone how terrible they are (it's because of the women and POCs and Star Wars is for Boys Only And No Girls Allowed! My mother was quite affronted, because she has always liked Star Wars, thank you). I'll have to see what happens if she asks me about incels.

She probably understands the concept of men who are so repellent no woman wants to have sex with them, being a woman who's had sex.

Part of me feels we shouldn't be blasting these kids and I'm glad social media didn't really exist when I was a highschool senior. But the other part of me feels"the worst poo poo I did in high school isn't even close to this level of racism, so gently caress 'em."
