  • Merry Christmas to everyone except the closeted bisexuals.

    The amount of trauma men who are exclusively with women leading me have inflicted on me. I wish I weren't gay and sex repulsed. The minority stress physically hurts

  • I have found myself developing a long list of insane requests that (honestly understandably) will go denied at the next town hall thread but I kinda just wanna celebrate festivus and air my grievances anyway.

  • Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all enjoy the holiday. 

    My wife and I rung it in shell hunting the beach at midnight. It was amazing. I love the beach at night. 

  • Merry Christmas, everyone

    Merry Christmas! 🎄🎉

  • christmas eve is one of those times where i wish i had a decent sized family that loves and cares for each other without anyone being a creep, thief, or judgemental. maybe one day, but with the track i’m on, who knows.

    Like from a movie type experience I long for.

  • merry christmas everyone!!! :)

  • I'm annoyed that reddit has a limit on how many people you can block (or I'm annoyed that I hit it, thus forcing me to see every bad take for eternity).

    It’s extra frustrating that unblocking people doesn’t let you add more blocks. How does that make any sense??

  • i really need to know that i’m not the only one who would fuck the ghoul from fallout

    Walton Goggins can GET IT

    Bro is a great actor, kills it in everything he does.

    He loves to hang dong. 😅 Did it like three times in the final season of Righteous Gemstones

  • My future tattoo guy is cool as hell but he thinks Taylor Swift should stay out of politics. I’m hoping I can at least try to get him to play reputation when I get my tattoo.

    😭 I swear Taylor can’t win. Normies think she’s too political but people online think she’s not political enough.

    This is definitely a celebrity thing as apposed to a Taylor thing but I get your point. Try to remember most people don’t even care about what celebrities say on politics. Especially if they have no knowledge or understanding on the subjects. The last US election proved that. Beyoncé, Taylor and even Chappell after people got pissed at her for telling people to educate themselves instead of listening to celebrities voted and endorsed Kamala. It did nothing in the long run.

  • Got a $100 visa gift card 👌

    Only 1 more week before they’re given justice or banished forever

  • The concept of an "onika asylum".....

  • Merry Christmas Eve popheads!

  • I was not prepared for the amount of overlap in my year-end list and James Gunn’s

    One of my friends told me that the scene of Lois talking to Superman about music in that film (which I still haven’t seen) reminded her of me. And I guess she’s not wrong, lol.

  • I still need to do my annual Christmas rewatch of a Bracebridge dinner.

  • Rewatching Happy Feet and floored at how amazing the animation held it. It’s held up better than most Disney/Pixar animation movies, and it’s almost 20 years old.

  • Sometimes when I'm around my husband's family, I feel like the evil city woman in every Hallmark movie because oof do they have the worst nonpolitical takes.

    My MIL says her favorite Christmas song is "The Christmas Shoes." Benign but abysmal nonetheless

  • Timmy come get your Oscar

  • Home Alone is the last piece of monoculture left (at least here in Poland it’s the event each year on Christmas Eve)

    One of my core memories is my middle school science teacher showing the booby traps scene in Home Alone to explain a Rube Goldberg machine

  • The way cats don't give one fuck😭. It's super inspiring

  • song of the day and 358th addition to my 2025 playlist is Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto. merry christmas mr/ms/mx popheads!

    Do you fuck with the instrumental version more, or the david Sylvian sang version (‘Forbidden Colors’). Great movie as well

  • My eggnog snickerdoodle cookies are ugly but they are good! Too good… tf am I supposed to do with all these cookies now tho. I’m kind of embarrassed to give them away because they really are ugly

    tf am I supposed to do with all these cookies now tho

    im omw to handle it

    Omg are you willing to share pictures or the recipe?

    Put some kind of frosting on them to cover up the ugly? 😅

    Unfortunately no amount of frosting could fix these shapes

    Better leave them ugly than ruin the taste with frosting ://

  • Just to add insult to injury, I think I’m starting to get sick 😭

    Instead of having the wine I desperately wanted after working this week, I am having ibuprofen, paracetamol, and gargling salt water bc my throat hurts 😞

  • i am so grateful that green grapes exist

    Thoughts on cotton candy grapes 🤔

    haven't seen ones that are nice enough in years to justify the price but i had it ages ago i thought it was interesting. i'm more of an autumn crisp girlie tho

  • Merry Christmas Eve, Popheads! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, whatever you celebrate! 

    By the way, I'm excited for our Top Ten Pop Ten for our favorite albums this year. I have one "not like the other girls/boys" choice I'm excited to share, lol. Hint: 💕 😫 🐁 🎊 

  • The Red White and Royal Blue to Heated Rivalry pipeline needs to be studied

    If you look at boys love in eastern Asia you'll get your answer pretty quickly.

  • I need a fun internet rabbit hole to fall into.

  • Seriously considering quitting my job but I don't wanna miss my work bestie? She wants out too but probably not very soon. I just don't wanna leave her there and I'm ganna miss her!

    feeling in the same boat... I genuinely like all my coworkers but I'm so over the rest of it 😭

  • I saw these comments in another sub re: Mariah’s record & thought this sub would like to discuss them. Thoughts?

    This was inevitable. It doesn’t feel special. It feels like a sign that this statistic doesn’t mean anything. I really wish Billboard applied their recurrent rules to Christmas songs. The charts during the December months have just become useless. How much longer can this go on? Is she just gonna remain at #1 every December until the end of time? Every chart record will at one point be broken by her, and it’s because of Bullboard’s own rules. Had these rules existed in the 90s and 00s, we would’ve been at 100 damn weeks at #1 or something absurd. Let’s not make these chart numbers any more ridiculous than they already are.

    They need to go back to the pre-2015 rules and say once a song goes recurrent, it cannot appear on the Hot 100. We already have the Holiday 100 that Christmas songs can appear on.

  • It is super fucked that Trump(allegedly) killed a baby but people need to realize you’re not gonna find remains in Lake Michigan. It’s a big ass body of water. Not to mention, if it did happen, it’s just remains by now.

    Probably not even remains since babies are mostly cartilaginous IIRC.

    i'm sorry what?!

    But now people on threads are being like “they need to do a search of Lake Michigan” and it’s like bruh, use common sense. There’s whole ship wrecks they haven’t found because Lake Michigan is that deep.

    some folks really have no idea about the scale of things and it’s wild! begging people to take two seconds to look it up, like… it isn’t your local little reservoir or something, and even tiny bodies of water can hide remains (human, car, etc) for decades 😭

    I live in Michigan so it’s like one of the three tourist traps we’re really proud of here. People travel miles to see all the lakes.

    Plus like just watch Titanic or the Oceangate documentaries to get a good scale of why it’s hard to search a body of water like that.

    Some 14 year old unredacted the Epstein files because the justice department didn’t know that you could do that and that was one of the revelations

  • merry Christmas Eve to whom it applies & people who celebrate Ava Gardner’s birthday 

  • happy christmas eve popheads! i hope you're all able to have a nice and festive day

    my husband's birthday is actually christmas day so we'll be going out later today for an early birthday dinner. my nana was in the hospital for awhile but she's finally back home so will be going to visit her as well

  • I went to a couple breweries the other day and had a couple drinks and I’m sure that it’s for zoning reasons but it’s kinda weird to go to the address for an acclaimed beer factory and what you see is a warehouse in a business park and zero vibes like you’re going to an illegal rave

  • I really don’t think labels “sabotage” their artists because they ultimately want to make money. I think a lot of it is just poor decision making. And you can’t guarantee that something will connect with a wider audience.

    In the other direction that's why Industry Plant accusations are usually so funny to me, if they could just make a pop or rock star they absolutely would. Most musicians are a pain in the ass to deal with (cut to a dozen label execs hoping AI music takes off)

  • I need that Todd Haynes gay romance starring Pedro Pascal injected into my veins already even we don't even know anything about it aside of the premise. I'm so going to make a double feature of that movie and "Carol" one day.

  • What books did you DNF this year? And if you want to give more detail: (1) where in the book did you give up, (2) why, and (3) do you think you’ll give it another shot in the future?

    Mine:

    Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World by Malcolm Harris: (1) gave up about 400 pages in (2) because the DOGE stuff was all over the news at the time and because I have experienced/participated in the word of Silicon Valley and it was just hitting me very, very hard and making me feel overwhelmingly hopeless. (3) I will probably try to finish it when I have the mental fortitude because its central thesis (how the Silicon Valley ethos has been rotten to the core since the beginning) is both compelling and unfortunately relevant to our times. But boy is it depressing.

    The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong: (1) gave up 100 pages in; (2) ironically, I picked this up at an airport when I gave up on Palo Alto, but I overcorrected—I think this is supposed to be a “cozy” book, and the premise seemed fun, but it’s… boring. (3) I have less faith that I’ll finish this one, it’s been on my nightstand for months. Might be going to the Little Free Library soon.

    I finished everything I started this year, but I struggled through two books:

    • Stag Dance by Torrey Peters; this one is a few short stores + one novella and while I liked the short stories the novella was a real slog to get through. It's ultimately about a team of lumberjacks but there was so much lumberjack jargon to deal with that it was tough for me to really get into it.
    • Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle; a quick and easy read but not remotely as interesting as it thought it was. Annoying protagonist, underbaked supporting characters.

    I DNF "Franny and Zooey" by JD Salinger, after the brother got out of the bathtub. I liked the scenes and descriptions of places and people, but could not make myself care about Franny or Zooey. I may pick it up again in paperback for a writing class I'm auditing.

    I powered through a lot of stuff I didn’t really love but Pip Williams’ The Dictionary of Lost Words is what broke me.

    I was excited to read it but I just did not gel with it at all. I read a few chapters, put it down, and just could not pick it back up.

    Aw I’m sorry it was a let down, sucks when you’re excited for a book and it doesn’t meet expectations. I hope you had some enjoyable reading this year along with the stuff you had to power through!

    too many to count but one notable book is bury our bones in the midnight soil I’ve tried so hard to like v.e. shwab but this is like fifth book I’ve dnf’d by her she’s such a boring storyteller😂

    Ahaha oh god, yeah, it’s interesting when an author just Does Not Click. I’m so curious, what gets you to keep trying out her books? (I’m worried this question sounds judgmental but it’s truly not, I think there’s a lot of value in trying multiple times to like something, AND I’m a fan of the ol’ hate read/watch/listen, so no judgment here) 

    noooo you’re not being judgemental I guess I just have a hope that I’m wrong about her and it’ll be the one good book I read by her but nope never gonna happen

    I recently dnf’d As good as dead by Holly Jackson. I liked it but, I want to finish my reading goal and that was putting me into a slump.

    I don’t think there were many others I dnf’d this year.

    It takes me embarrassingly long to realize when a book is putting me in a slump like that haha. Good luck on your reading goal! 

    Same. I’m very stubborn. I’ve made it to book 9 out of a 14 book series before I decide to give on it. But it’s also something I’m trying to work on is just quitting more books that I’m not enjoying.

    Plus it’s the holiday season and I want to squeeze in a few easy Christmas reads.

    Thanks. I want to make it to 50 this year. I didn’t come this far to fall short 😅

  • Cupid Deluxe by Blood Orange lowkey being the best album of all time…

    i do appreciate how Dev Hynes has expanded and experimented with his sound over time, but there’s something extra special about that album that keeps it above the rest for me

  • Watched The Apartment today and i thought about how funny it is that it reminds me a lot of (this person im in love with) and not my very recent relationship breakup situation.  So weird. Guess it makes sense but its so embarrassing how bad i fell for this guy and not for someone I was in an actual relationship with

    Im going to be around his hometown next week to visit my brother and I thought texting him to meet up and this movie has reminded that I absolutely should not thank you movie

  • Mesopotamian Addison Rae be like: Guess I gotta accept the pain need a ziggurat to make me feel better

    Idk girl I’m bored af at my parents house 😭

  • me with my cup of matcha at 2am in the morning, after waking from a four hours nap: it's time to fuck up the sleep schedule

  • For not being a huge people person, it is nice to run into people you haven’t seen in a few months.

    It’s fun to try to learn how to be social at 30 cause I always try to ask about them as well and I botched what school she was working at. 😭

  • Happy anything by Adrianne lenker day to all who celebrate 

  • Spending Christmas Eve with my family later and their tradition is watching It's a Wonderful Life (plus none of them like the Muppets movie) so I'm making sure I watch it before I go because YOU GOTTA!

    There's only one more sleep til Christmas (Day)!

  • If you’re near the area consider helping out this small business that’s been unfairly slandered

  • Today was even worse than yesterday for how busy it is, like you’ve got Christmas Eve off why aren’t you at home, and once again we only had a two person close 😭

    I haven’t had a bathroom break or a water break in six hours I feel awful

    When I was a bartender it was always so funny that people would be like “oh my god, I can’t believe you’re working today! Can’t believe they’d do that to you!”

    And I’m just be thinking “WELL IF PEOPLE LIKE YOU DIDNT COME OUT WE WOULDNT BE OPEN!!!!!!!”

    People always say something similar when I work on holidays and it’s like bruh, I like money.

    Especially if there’s an event, I wouldn’t need to work if my building didn’t have constant events around the busiest time of year.

    I have also been a bartender but thankfully only did Christmas Eve rather than NYE (which I feel would be so much worse), and I got so pissed off over the Easter weekend this year at my cafe and they kept saying that while being totally oblivious to that fact and it pissed me off so much 😭

    Edit: I’m just ranting at this point but the amount of people this week who have coughed or sneezed directly in my face as if we haven’t been living through a fucking pandemic is also bewildering and honestly so rude too

    I did, however, get a save the date for a family friend’s wedding in 2027, which makes me feel ancient, and I got my Christmas food prep this morning, and bought my first ever Christmas jumper so that’s nice

  • Is it normal on Reddit for people to randomly delete their accounts?

    Sometimes your just trying to free yourself from the shackles of reddit.

    there's a demographic of users who will delete their account the instant that they think they've attracted too much attention. Like "The post I made got 15 replies, I need to delete ASAP!"

    I’d say it happens often enough. Sometimes people will delete if they feel like they’ve shared identifying information or sometimes people just want to start a new account for one reason or another

    I tend to delete posts sometimes just because I worry that it might give away too much. It’s why I try to be vague with my job and people here have a hard time figuring out what I do because if I say a certain aspect of it, I could easily be identified if my coworkers browse Reddit.

    No, it means they're in the Epstein files.

    i seriously do not think we should turn sexual violence into the subject of jokes, it trivializes the subject matter already not taken seriously expect to demonize the victims of it

  • For those who don’t like Christmas songs so much then I’d like to pop in my annual recommendation of Tom Scott and Matt Gray’s not liking Christmas Christmas songs video.

    https://youtu.be/QR9FwcwxTG4

    I say this as someone who does indeed like Christmas songs but acknowledge there’s a time and place for songs like All I Want For Christmas is New Years Day.

  • ...i got my sister a small package of ointments and calming balms and she got me a polaroid camera. im the worst brother ever.

  • i finished the wedding people by alison espach last night...wow, what a wonderful book. late entry into one of my favorite books of 2025. although i did just renew it for another couple weeks so i don't have to walk to the library in the pouring rain today to return it.

    other favorite books this year: ghosts and everything i know about love both by dolly alderton; demon copperhead by barbara kingsolver; atmosphere by taylor jenkins reid. i love a character driven book, what can i say

    unless i finish my nonfiction book in the next week (unlikely), i'll end the year having read 27 books. a bit less than last year (35) but it's not a competition! hoping i can read even more wonderful books next year

    probably won't be on the dd tomorrow as i'm traveling for the holidays, so merry christmas to all who celebrate!

    I honestly am usually whelmed by TJR books, but Atmosphere really got me, man.

    I also fell short of my reading goal this year (to read one more than last year), but my number was still solid so I'm pleased! What matters is that I've read more in this past year and 2024 than I had in literal years.

    that's so amazing that you've been reading more the past couple years! any reading should be celebrated!

    and yes, i have mixed feelings on tjr. loved evelyn hugo and atmosphere, hated malibu rising, daisy jones and carrie soto are somewhere in the middle. atmosphere's ending made me sob (as corny as it was)

  • Haven't thought about this series in years but that's a good shout actually

    Honestly same but I saw the WicDiv compendium recently and I was like oh yeah this series was really good. 

    It’s like the prefect book for this subreddit. 

  • shoutout to the popheads music awards for getting me to check out Jae Stephens. what a fun album! sad I didn't know about it earlier.

  • Bought blue prince with some other games. But also got Ghost of Yotei and Ace Attorney Investigations.

  • Before we go into next year, does anyone have any last few album recs of the year? Can be anyone or any genre!

    Equus Caballus from Men I Trust has been in my rotation heavy lately.

    Film Noir by Faouzia!

    She's been my favorite discovery this year. Her voice is absolutely out of this world. She's from Morocco and uses interesting harmonies/scales that you wouldn't quite expect, but it's all very catchy and accessible. Thick glossy voice like Dua, Ava, MUNA (my favorite type of voice!).

    Album has some alternative pop, jazzy, ballad sounds overall, I'd say? Including a beautiful cover of Desert Rain by Sting that she actually sang for him live!

    Y’all all sleeping on Greyhaven’s Keep it Quiet. Sure it isn’t Pop but y’all are sleeping on it!!!!!!

  • My straight, White, non-pop-culture-following co-workers talking about Cracki MAGAj's downfall today on Microsoft Teams.

  • I can't believe critic hated Little Mix's Secret Love Song. That song is a masterpiece

    I blame Jason Derulo

    they did!?!??!? that is rude omg it's SO good!! gay anthem!!!

  • I’ve been working on a playlist of my favorite new songs of the year and I think this is what I’ve settled on. I may also make one of my favorite discoveries of the year but that depends on how much holiday avoidance I commit to this week, lol.

    Somebody needs to get her and Trent Reznor in a room ASAP!

    Sorry Halsey, but I want Gaga’s version of If I Can’t Have Love… lol

  • Sometimes being on this sub is like being stuck into between a rock ( yall never being tired of talking about the same stuff) and a hard place (me continuing to come back to y’all talking about the same stuff due to the high likelihood of argument).

  • [deleted]

    Assuming this is a joke. (Edit: i also seriously do not think sexual violence should be the subject of jokes, it trivializes the subject matter especially for a large group of victims unlikely to get any justice in this world)

    Genuinely i assume it is like most public figures which is easy good publicity with barely any of their money bc we cannot really conceive the wealth of these people and immense tax write offs

    Unironically yeah

    no this is the kind of thing where you turn phone notifications on and sit on it

    Put it on vibrate and put it up your vag

    I’m sure you love turning your phone’s notifications on and sitting on it but we operate in different ways!

  • All the letterboxd reviews I've done and the most popular one is just me going "spongebob big guy pants ok"

    My most popular review is also from a SpongeBob movie lmao

    My most liked review is just a one sentence complaint about a Hallmark movie's depiction of a town near where I grew up.

    as it should be

  • i cannot imagine what it is like to be cold in december even though that's the prevailing narrative. i associate christmas with being overheated in front of a fan or at someone's pool. unfortunately i'm currently just overheated in front of a fan with no pool in sight

  • on this Christmas Eve id like to remind yall that two-time “made it to day 3 without cracking top 10”/rate loser Rum Pum Pum Pum counts as a Christmas song via Little Drummer Boy interpolation

    also has one of the greatest prechoruses ever, the way they do it in rounds… VERY iconic to me

    also speaking of f(x) and rates, Shadow getting chopped so early… hell is hot!

  • Shoutout to all of us who open presents on Christmas Eve. NBA all day tomorrow and good eating. What a time.

  • Feliz nochebuena! I hope everyone is enjoying their winter holidays

  • “Nicki Minaj deletes Instagram amid backlash from assassin remark to Erika Kirk”

    Anti-wokeness/Proud Pro Trumpness lasting a little less than a year is actually very funny 

    To be fair though I can’t imagine a worse type of celebrity to go full MAGA than a pop diva, like 90 percent of that audience is gay men and young women this is like if in 1993 Madonna said she was Pro-AIDS or if in 2011 Beyonce came out against gay marriage. 

    What is she even doing bro!? 😭

    Like I am so confused, is she trying to destroy herself?!

    It's so funny that Charlie Kirk dying actually was a Turning Point... FOR THE LIBS

    I kind of figured the pendulum would swing back to being woke is cool again. The question was just how long would it take. At most I figured by the midterms

    Ngl people should make her delete Twitter too

  • 🚨 americans, Internet censorship bills have passed the subcommittee and are getting closer to making it to the house. regardless of your hosue rep's party we have to call them to tell them to vote NO. We also need to call BOTH our reps and senators to vote no especially on repealing section 230 this a huge concern, you should not give sensitive information to access the internet, and section 230 protects forums from being responsible for what random users say there.

  • If I watch 1 or 2 more movies this year (depending on the length) then I will have spent a full 30 days of 2025 watching movies. What a life to lead

  • So started watching Pose damn I didn't expect to be tearing up, near-sobbing by the end of the first episode. Ugh that was beautiful.

    Also hi Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill song 👋🏾

    the use of RUTH and I’m Not In Love was soooo good tbh

    RUTH is sending me like😭 it took me a second to realize it's running up that hill abbreviated

    the use of RUTH ... was sooo good tbh

    Me reading the old testament or something idk i'm not christian

    SHE'S NOT A CHRISTIANNNNNUH

  • I am full fledge in my Zara Larson era rn and when she said “and it feels so good to know I don’t know what I’m doing”… I felt that

  • I guess I'm getting sick on every holiday or planned vacation now.

  • Overlooked Singles/Deep Cuts of 2025:


    We're deep into the Y2K revival at this point, but Eli doesn't just copy the era, she weaponizes it. This type of glittery bubblegum pop is so cheesy and girly and that makes it the perfect sound for a song about the gender euphoria of being treated like a girl by a boy, a topic she explores with some rather clever lyrics delivered with a sweet and sexy lilt. And on top of that, her melodies and production are fantastic.


    Queen of CPop Jolin Tsai's fifteenth(!) studio album is all about exploring different facets of "pleasure," and "Inside Out" is dedicated to the pleasure of listening to music and how a good a song can help us feel good "inside out." She does a great job actually capturing that feeling with the light and breezy city-pop sound (like driving with the windows down) and apparently she produced this track herself!


  • Alright, so I didn't start Life is Strange yet. But I went out on a limb and decided to go ahead and buy Final Fantasy (VII and IX) since they're so cheap right now anyway and I have to say I'm way more impressed than I thought? I was too young to really be into it when VII came out, and my older brother was decidedly not into that kind of game, so I never gave the franchise a chance.

    I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised so far? The blocky graphics are cracking me up, but the story is interesting and the gameplay forces me to think about things rather than just smashing buttons to get to the next thing. The best part is once again, I sat down to just try to beat the first reactor level, and before I knew it I had lost an hour without even realizing.

    Hope y'all have an excellent holiday (if you celebrate), and a wonderful Wednesday if you don't :)

    I think IX is actually my favorite FF game. Maybe because it was the first I ever played, but it’s also just so god damn good.

    I did some light searching to see which game would be the best for a beginner to start with and IX was one of the most recommended! That one definitely had the most interesting plot description, by far, so I'm excited to play it!

  • I’ll take “le tits now” for 800

  • It's so wild to me how people I don't know can talk behind my back and make crazy stories while I'm the most harmless quiet person.

    Get a life doesn't do it justice cause just why? Just watch a trashy reality tv and get off on their mess and gossip and leave my boring ass alone!

  • The funniest thing about the Nc* stuff is this is objectively the worst time to do a full MAGA pivot. There was never a good time, but right now??? In December of 2025???

    How could that possibly be lucrative?

    Edit: changed the censor, y’all my bad! Also I am black!

    If she had done it at the same time as Amber Rose, I wonder how big the backlash would have been at that time. But yeah not exactly a great time to pull a MAGA grift.

    Babe… you gotta change the way you censored Nicki cause…

    The funniest thing about the N**** stuff...

    Jumpscare... Omg I thought you were using a slur when I first read this.

    no I literally gasped until it clicked

    Sunk cost fallacy, I'm guessing... Also, there's unfortunately a whole lot of money in right-wing grifting..... Lot of conservative rich fucks willing to fund influencers/celebs/etc.

    Please don’t censor Nicki’s name like that because that could easily been a different word

    Idk why you're censoring the word Nicki but you chose the worst possible way to do it

    LMAOKOOFBDBFBF I did not even notice. Thankfully I’m black.

  • my IG feed is now being LITTERED with like.. actual hockey footage and it's making me feel some type of way

    on the one hand, i keep expecting the hockey footage to turn gay somehow at some point (it doesn't), and what's secondly, i kinda wanna go to a game now... but also like i hate seeing people fighting so i feel like hockey is not the place for me but also heated rivalry soooOOOooOOO god i'm a mess omg this is the STRAIGHT AGENDA at work

    This whole thing with HR is very strange because whenever a hockey team does a pride night the comments under the post are like just a few inches short of calling for the systemic cleansing of LGBTQ people.

    Edit. Men's hockey.

    Tbh the series reminded me of the actual culture in hockey and that makes me very sad. Like men's hockey just tried to ban pride tape and jerseys again

    Hell check please! Literally was made bc the author got so fucking depressed doing interviews about homophobia in men's hockey for a project.

    Hockey is a popular setting in romance genre because of the class and race dynamics in the sport so as an author you can have a very moneyed and white set background without immediately raising eyes like if you attempted this in football or baseball or basketball. So in some cases i do get women very critical of this given that the nhl is the only league without a domestic violence policy but it also is a match made in hell bc the very popularity of hockey as a setting in romance in general (not necessarily specific authors esp since HR is written by a Canadian and this is mostly US trends) is because of taking advantage of the racism in league to have an artificially white environment. So its kinda like if you guys want racism without sexism you're not going to get it 🤷🏻‍♀️

    It's depressing if still interesting seeing the way very culturally regressive sports have attempted to court female viewership including the nhl engaging with romance reader or even nfl trying to expand international viewers while still being incredibly racist to the countries they send players to practice in etc.

    i truly think this will be the rising tide that'll help push hockey over into something more open... maybe not fully, maybe not a lot, but even just a little, that would be nice

    Hiiii my recommendation is go to a women’s hockey game :)))))

    I am going to a womens game soon :)

    oh boooooooooooo all the womens teams are like up north!! ew omg

    They so special games where they travel!!

    OMG YES!!! i went to my first wnba game (actually first basket game like ever) AND IT WAS SO FUN!!!!!! and inclusive!!!

    You can be that guy that’s constantly going NOW KISS every time there’s a fight. It will bring uproarious laughter every time

    stop setting me up for ruin HO

    Ruin is the only way to go in 2026
