I really enjoy going through all the conspiracy type posts about how the safety car and flags are called to benefit certain drivers or disadvantage others.
Do I believe there's bias in the sport? Yes, certainly. As there is in all sport, and sometimes it is obvious in the penalties given and calls being made.
Do I believe everyone is out to get Verstappen? No. In this sport, results are many times just based on the good or bad luck some drivers have.
Max is not the first driver to face this type of criticism, nor will he be the last, and shit happens.
My god I've overcomitted
If leclerc pulls this off I swear I'll become religious again
It's hard being female/queer/poc in sport fandoms when the sport itself is not inclusive. When the drivers themselves are not representative of these groups, I do not expect their views and values to be representative of these groups.
That being said. I can still hold them accountable for their actions/inactions.
I like rooting for certain drivers on track but that does not mean I agree with their political or social affiliations. I cannot stop them from being racist/misogynistic/queerphobic in their personal lives and I can, in some degree, seperate their performance as an athlete from their views. What I cannot do is sit by and watch them perpetuate discrimination in the sport itself. Whether it be on track or during media duties.
And yeah, drivers have no obligation to act or be a certain way but then we as fans also have the right to not support or like them.
Funny how Anne Rice hated fanfiction of her work so much, she sent cease and desist letters to fanfic writers and fanfiction.net. And yet, she wrote multiple books about a reimagined bdsm version of sleeping beauty, and biblical/religious fiction.
Sorry to everyone who's ao3 isn't working. It's actually the universe telling me, and only me, to go to sleep.
Feel like there might be some penalties incoming for track limits soon.
I know it's serious when drivers crash but I feel max is entitled to slap a bitch right about now
