I call martin martijn as well and I'm not that anon, I do feel like dutch people call him martijn more often when referring to him as a person and not as the dj..
so fair, figures! the one person i know who calls him martijn is also dutch, thats y i wondered if it was a dutch thing
crazy abt the fact that that martijn is wearing a T-shirt, while lando is wearing a tight base layer AND a huge hoodie
to be FAIR, im pretty sure the undershirt is a thermal made specifically for sports (and therefore like sweat and overheating). also to be fair im 99% certain someone gave him that hoodie so that he'd have smth orange to wear. that said like. its lando. at this point we should b expecting it
sorry i can't come in to work today. yeah sorry they killed me off last night. yeah i just wasn't relevant to the plot anymore. i should be in tomorrow but i'll let you know.
thank you so much for all that info, i only really knew him as funny i hate the media man. i’m genuinely shocked more people haven’t talked about this? thank you again ☺️
yeah ofc no problem - ik hes garnered like a meme reputation AND he like used to be hot or whatever AND he's a wdc so on all sides ppl r very reluctant to bring up the shit he's done. i became very disillusioned with the ethics of the f1 fandom in 2021 when i realised that after a while most ppl hated mazepin bc he was fun to hate and bc he was bad at driving. they CLAIMED they hated him bc of the SA video but the vibe quite clearly didn't match - an abuser isn't really someone i'd throw funny nicknames and memes towards even if they're derogatory towards him.
and then theres also just the fact that in f1 fandom spaces, fans leave and arrive in waves - a lot of people i knew in 2020 on f1blr do not watch f1 anymore bc they switched to other sports, not to mention all the ppl who quit watching f1 after ad21. conversely, a bunch of ppl i speak to now on twt and tumblr started watching in 2022-2023. so bc information like kimi's iron cross merch isn't mainstream (crofty won't mention it as a fun fact during friday practice) it gets lost to time, the same way his sexual assault allegations also got lost to time
i just saw your post on kimi raikkonen and i’m sorry WHAT? do you mind explaining what he did? if not no worries :)
hi! so the actual allegations were made in 2016 by a blog that is now private (which is so fair considering the harrassment she would have received). two years later the (alleged, i suppose i have to say) victim decided to actually name raikkonen and sue him for emotional damages, in response to which he denied everything and filed a complaint for extorsion. these r the details that pretty much every publication reports as the victim's story:
which is. yk. also exactly what mazepin did on camera
and then this is a pretty detailed post explaining the reason his merch was accused of carrying nazi imagery / he was accused of working with a designer w nazi sympathies: here
and as a bonus theres also the homophobic implications (or at least toxic masculinity) of this series of insta stories he posted abt hamilton:
so every time a new wave of fans comes around - and nowadays they werent even around to watch kimi race and find out abt his controversies in real time - it gives me such whiplash to see the posts thirsting abt him in the early 2000s
funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay
