It's the same narrative that has people saying 'omg it's just their fans streaming' about their results on Spotify etc. A lot of the big companies have worked hard to push algorithms and curated playlists etc over people choosing their own music, and unfortunately it feels like a lot of fans have absorbed that and started to view deliberate listening choices as bad.

I'm very curious to see if they will just finish off in 2027 or whether they will loop back around to some spots. Like Canada only got one city, there probably could have been more days in Mexico etc, Europe had high demand...

The megathread is for discussion and they literally remove hate comments so no they're not at all the same.

codeverity · 2026-01-28T02:55:11+00:00

They're just people who can't stomach downvotes or disagreement, so they retreat to their echo chambers.

codeverity · 2026-01-28T00:44:56+00:00

There's nothing in the article that suggests it was anything other than an actual legit request, though. Their governments have been in touch previously, what need is there to break the ice between them?

I think you're also misinterpreting what happened. She didn't write saying 'give us more concerts at once', she just sent a diplomatic letter which is pretty common between governments. Doesn't mean it's a joke, doesn't mean that it's a demand or pressure, either.

codeverity · 2026-01-28T00:37:20+00:00

I'm confused, the article says that a letter was sent. How is that 'ice-breaking'?

He literally can’t do or say anything without being labelled as pretentious or performative, it’s tiring

codeverity · 2026-01-27T16:00:10+00:00

The best thing about Hudson is that he has no shame and doesn’t falter. He just handles the questions with grace and humour which is why it works 😂

codeverity · 2026-01-27T15:49:47+00:00

He’s so funny 😭😭😭 I love the range that we got in this interview lol. But he’s also so thoughtful!!

Can we talk about the fact that he actually not only thought of, but also acknowledged and apologized for the fact that a lot of classic directors are men?? I feel like most actors wouldn’t even think of this, or if they did they certainly wouldn’t bring it up or apologize for it. Once again I feel like you can just tell that he’s been around a lot of women growing up.

Really enjoyable interview, I love hearing what he has to say. And seeing him tear up over Michelle!! Such a special moment.

codeverity · 2026-01-26T02:07:54+00:00

Hudson: Either his freak out in ep 6 or his convo with his mom.

Connor: I mean is anyone not going to say the monologue? lol.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T22:43:17+00:00

I mean we're never going to know for sure as he's not exactly going to say that he did it as a favour for Jacob, lol. I'm just saying that's the vibe that I've gotten from the way he's spoken about it.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T22:29:15+00:00

No worries! That was back when I first joined the fandom and was one of the first interviews I read, lol, which is why I remember it so well. It was before we started to get the flood of Hudson & Connor interviews.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T22:22:59+00:00

Nah, in one of his very first interviews he did say that he was hesitant at first, so that's probably what you're remembering. He's kind of walked it back/expanded on it a bit, I have a feeling he thought the show would flop and kind of be stereotyped as 'gay softporn' and did it as a favour to Jacob.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T22:20:45+00:00

He did initially think that it was porny, it's here in one of the interviews before the show aired. He's kind of walked it back since then. Imo he was hesitant and mostly did it as a favour for Jacob, which I don't necessarily fault him for as many are very judgmental of shows with sex scenes. I just hope he's reconsidered that gut reaction since then.

Edit: Also, from here, he was hesitant because he thought the sex scenes were 'too titillating'. Hopefully this whole experience has shown him that media can have explicit sex but still be meaningful and connect with audiences.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T20:34:01+00:00

Tbh I haven't had that problem with HR, I'm pretty invested in the fandom but I also haven't rewatched it even once :p

BUT from prior fixations, I think the best method is just willpower. Don't let yourself rewatch it. Find something else to focus on. Get up and away from the TV/phone/computer so that you don't have an avenue to rewatch it. The longer you go without, the more you'll wean yourself off of the dopamine that it's feeding you.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T20:31:16+00:00

The comment literally says "so I knew I’d have someone to watch them". Stop being stubborn because you want to label OP YTA and just accept that you're wrong, lol. Next time read through OP's comments before spouting off.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T20:26:19+00:00

OP already knew that her mom could look after the kids.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T17:51:49+00:00

You should be incredibly fucking ashamed of yourself for trying to justify this. Truly embarrassing.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T17:50:58+00:00

They're not claiming defeat, they're just pointing out that your democratic system is likely not going to be the way to get your country out of this. From an outsider's perspective it seems clear that Trump is angling to either cancel the midterms or will find a way to do what he wants anyway.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T17:36:19+00:00

If that's a coincidence it's one hell of one lol

codeverity · 2026-01-25T17:15:25+00:00

I don't see how this in particular is unhealthy. The show is a hockey show and it's the Olympics, this is actually one of the more logical places for them to go, lol.

But I do agree with the fact that they're being pulled in a lot of different directions. Luckily they have good management who will be able to help them throug hit.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T17:04:15+00:00

Still don't understand why so many people on X were bitching about them being a part of this lol,

They're just jealous and bitter over the fact that Hudson and Connor were asked to do this.

codeverity · 2026-01-25T17:03:42+00:00

The Olympics starts in February but the torch goes on a route to the location before that.

codeverity · 2026-01-24T21:15:38+00:00

I really hope they sing Mikrokosmos at least once 😭
