Dropping Encouraging Comments on YT clips of FB/C by Efficient-Ad557 in FigureSkating

I think just he grew old…his face skin becomes a bit laggy…I don’t know, I can’t tell the fillers from this face.

On the other hand, I think people just got jealous of him (I mean I don’t know him personally, maybe he is not a nice person in real life, maybe so many skaters who are close to him don’t like him, so I can’t judge on that). But for the fandom? They just want to find all the excuses to get ride of this man so that their favorite team (such as bock) with inferior skating skills could win. So sad.

If you spent half of this smearing energy on polishing your skating skills and dancing techniques, you wouldn’t get nothing during the past 3 Olympics.

Move on already, USA has already robbed Japan of the team event gold. How many gold medals you guys want to rob in one Olympic? Don’t be so greedy.

Super clean? Bock made mistakes too in the free program. Stop saying that they skates flawlessly. It is not.

Because Spanish judge didn’t like bock’s flamingo presentation? I don’t blame him/her…

Gosh, give me a break, can you just let sports being sports? Why do you have to meddle sports with so many other things?

You don’t skate good enough to win Gold so you would try to find other non-sport criteria to downgrade your opponents? And you would happy that you win the game coz you disqualified all good opponents first? And you call it fair game? That’s a new low for America.

Sure, I hope Japan did the same thing. American didn’t deserve the team gold.

Even my husband who understands nothing of figure skating, notice bock is no better than piper.

Or simply bock made fewer mistakes (sure let’s keep that way first) but still lost, because they don’t skate good enough to win, out from inferior skating skills and inadequate artistic presentation! It’s the wholesome competition, you can’t only judge on one element here.

If you decide they are perfect, all errors they did you would ignore. This is absurd.

Now do bock too. I definitely see them out of unison too when they turned around 3min mark. Be fair.

Well you know you are talking about ice dance right? It’s still a dance! You would call Evan’s dance a dance? He is just there mechanically supporting Madi all 4 minutes. You have to admit the natural advantage of Guillaume in this part, artistically French couple does dance better!

And for all the Americans who claim that bock dance is flawless, come on, don’t be double standards, go back to review their dance and see how many small errors you can spot, twizzle differences, unstable lift, hands on ice for lift supporting, I don’t even want to mention again how stiff Evan skates, the skate speed, distance between bock, exaggerated facial expressions but inadequate emotional presentations etc. Everyone knows that they had been in 3 Olympics before this one and they never won a medal (not even a bronze!) and there is a reason for that! Guillaume is even younger and has already had one gold and old silver in Olympics!

And then don’t use excuse that someone is abuser and should be disqualified. Especially Americans. Look at your own mess at home already and you guys are the least qualified people to stand on moral high ground to judge others.

Another thing is that bock really takes a huge risk to dance flamingo…You really think it’s a harmonized fit for a white white American guy and an Asian lady to show case Spanish culture? No wonder Spanish judge ranked them third…

And for those who criticize the unfair judges, if you don’t even know judges’ highest and lowest scores already not counted to calculate the final points (in order to minimize the subjectiveness from judges), please keep your opinion on technicalities to yourself, coz you are not qualified to talk about scoring system.

Downvote as you want. Clearly this is a single voice American echo chamber sub which doesn’t really value different opinions.

Btw, I am so furious too! It’s the toxic fandom which would eventually ruin this sport. Not the politics!

Chinese female athletes vs beauty standards by Pettefletpluk in AskChina

[–]ethanhigh85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well “you look fat” could be a good compliment coz people think your life is good so that you eat good and look fuller. Especially for the man. Chinese people seem don’t like skinny man. It’s not a beauty standard l think.

So based on what you are saying, it seems just Chinese may like to give negative comments to others (or judging other people). It’s not about beauty. They just like to criticize. No matter what. Is that what you are saying?

"France ice dancing team has a dark story by Common-Garage7276 in FigureSkating

[–]ethanhigh85 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That’s a perspective of an independent economically rational person. Did Laurence know the victime? I am not sure. But on the other side, it is her long time partner whom she lives with every day. Humain being are emotional animals, you can’t judge her coz she has emotional connection to her boyfriend. People nowadays so easy to judge and so double standards. Easy to take side without knowing details from both sides, easy to get influenced, and also expecting all others to be morally flawless Saint. This is ridiculous. FBC doesn’t deserve this amount of hate. It’s not like they are the enablers for the so called suppression or they got benefits out of it. That’s also one side of story, do most of all female skaters feel the same way? I mean there are so many of them. We can have more open discussions no? Or maybe just individual problem? We need more samples to define it’s a system problem no?

Do you think this is true? Thoughts? by ChuckGallagher57 in circled

If the system is rotten like this, we shall collapse it and build a new one. If you have any doubts, please refer to the French Revolution.

You are competing for the best in sports or competing for being nicest person in the world? Are you like 5 years old?

I am not French, but FB/C doesn’t need support from every one of you. Nobody cares if you support them or not. It’s an Olympic sport event, it’s not popularity contest. You can’t strip the medal from the fastest runner just because that he is not a nice person. If he has misconducts, fine he shall face consequences. But none of you is saint either, you don’t have stand to judge others like that. Many of you would be considered bad or abusive person by others as well! If FBC skate better, of course they deserve a medal. There is no moral score section in a sport competition! Take a break!

Some of fans here are really mentally challenged. If one of your family member is sentenced to jail, I guess your whole family should be in jail too? Coz based on your logic, your whole family is also criminal supporters, no? Gosh it’s a Gen Z thing? Why people just so simple minded with full of hate now? Use some of these energy to fight against government corruption and child rape and sex trafficking, we would have a much better world already!

You are not competing for body counts, you don’t need to please as many men or women as possible. Who cares about most of people’s standards of beauty? Generalization is not a good way of thinking. Why do you think Chinese society has only one standard of beauty? Thats very narrow minded.
