I'm not into this show, I just don't care for most modern-setting media it tends to bore me to tears and I know this would be no different.

This isn't the secret, the secret is that I'm already starting to get a knee-jerk irritation response to seeing gifs/stills of the show because the people really into it are starting to pull that 'this is IMPORTANT to watch and if you don't you're a homophobe!' rhetoric that is both boring an irritating for this queer to witness once again.

No this piece of horny gay media is not going to revolutionise the world, and people not caring about it isn't problematic or whatever else.

I've been steadily blocking anyone who starts posting or reblogging things like that so I don't get grumpy at a TV show that has done nothing but garner some annoying fans.

Same old. Nothing is a MUST watch. Watch what you want.

I'm not interested in a show about hockey. Or any sport, really. I also don't like romance, so het OR gay romance is not a draw for me, either.

I'm not anywhere close enough to the fandom to see people doing this, but ugh yeah I hate it when a fandom starts to champion it's show/movie as the next 'coming of' instead of geeking out over it the normal amount that fandom does.

Love the characters, love the ship, love the story, but don't insist others have to watch it to be The Right People, because that's not how any of this works.

I personally am also not interested for similar reasons, I like my media and my fandoms on the fantastical side.

i wasn't interested in hocky au's when they were the big thing at the time, i'm sure as fuck not watching the hocky au show that was originally steve/bucky fanfic, lol.

I totally got fanfic vibes from that show. Was is actually Steve/Bucky before she changed it?

(Anonymous) 2026-01-13 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
yup, i remember fandom hyping the shit out of its fanfic version at the time. it’s why the brunette guy is the bottom because that’s bucky and the fandom leaned towards bottom bucky most of the time back then, don’t know what it’s like now as i don’t do any mcu fandom anymore.

The author tried to launch it as pro fic, didn't sell, turned it into a Steve/Bucky AU, then later pulled it to publish successfully this time, so one more step than most pull to publish stories!

DA Wow. I would've guessed it originated as Hockey RPS. I've only seen the first episode so far, but the fanfic vibes are strong!

I thought it was:

The Scott/Kip story was the Steve/Bucky fic

The Heated Rivalry story was Crosby/Malkin RPF

To me, people who act like you're somehow problematic if you don't watch a particular TV show (or movie, or anime, or read a book, or listen to a podcast, or whatever) are the type of people who I am not interested in associating with.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-13 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
i haven't seen anyone call people out as homophobic for not wanting to watch the show, but i will say i am so sick to death of seeing/hearing about it that i actively will never watch it

(Anonymous) 2026-01-14 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
I kind of felt that way when I couldn’t get into OFMD and it was everywhere. I didn’t think it was boring but I couldn’t deal with the second hand embarrassment, and people literally refused to believe me when I said I didn’t enjoy that show.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-14 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Amazing timing - I was like this until I saw a clip from a channel I like reacting to this show and from there it snowballed into seeing enough of clips to wanting to watch it lol.

But boy, do I get the knee jerk reaction when someone insists that not watching a particular thing is a moral failing.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-14 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Anybody who thinks watching TV is "important" is either a moron or a lazy person trying to justify the fact that they don't engage in any meaningful political activity to themselves.
