this is absolutely about hockey rpf, but it applies to all sports rpf so here have a baseball icon.

So I don't want to get back into men's sports RPF because male professional athletes have such a high propensity for being disappointing, on account of being dudes whose educations largely were ignored, and who were never corrected about personality stuff on account of them being good at sportball, and who are usually very large and have a lot of privilege, and become extremely famous in their early 20s, and are drenched in a culture of excessive alcohol consumption. Which is, you know, a perfect environment for regular dudes to come out of perfectly socialized.

But anyway, the problem is also that all that stuff that makes me intensely distrustful of sportmans also makes me really fucking love sports RPF because you can pitch me any old idiot plot and I'll be like "I absolutely believe the dudes involved are dumb enough to do that."

So, you know. It's hard.

"I absolutely believe the dudes involved are dumb enough to do that."

This is how I look at pretty much everything these days, RPF-related.
