INTERVIEWING LEAFS PLAYERS NEXT TO A BUTTON THEY SHOULD NOT PUSH

it concerns me how many people are saying stuff like “I can’t believe he might’ve done this. I hope it’s not true 🥺” is so concerning to me. Like you don’t actually know these people. The way people are more concerned for the players/teams rather than the victim is so sickening to me.

THIS!

unfortunately, this is not the first time I've heard someone say this, or I myself have said this. We do not know these people. We know them as athletes. That's it. Obviously most of us have bonded over liking particular players, particular teams and/or fanfiction. which is all fun and light.

but this is none of that. this is incredibly serious and not something to be made light or brush under the rug. my heart is with the victim and I hope they find justice and peace soon.

Also friendly reminder:

- Corey Perry was signed by the oilers this week - despite having his contract terminated by Chicago following an undisclosed incident earlier this season

- Patrick Kane is still playing the nhl and still being referred to as one of the best American born players - despite multiple women accusing him of sexual assault and harassment

- Another survivor has sued the Chicago Blackhawks, accusing Brad Aldrich - the same video coach who assaulted Kyle Beach - of sexual assault and covering it up

- Chicago was still able to receive the 1st pick in the 2023 draft despite dealing with these allegations

- There is another ongoing investigation surrounding another group sexual assault by members of the 2003 Canadian World Juniors team

There are many incidents the NHL wants you to forget about, these are just some current ones. Don't let shit like this get swept under the rug.

I must tell someone this tea, otherwise I will implode. I've kept this to myself out of embarrassment for ages so what better place than to tell the internet :)

tw: cringe? dom/sub talk

soooo I was on bumble a while ago, bc why not. I had zero intentions of dating seriously or hookups. I match with a guy, he was military. important detail if you ask me. for context, I am a wallflower, basically a nun, very traditionally 'innocent' by choice. I got a thrill from talking to these idiots but none of this went anywhere.

this guy and I start talking and he immediately jumps into 'he's a dom' blah blah blah. as previously mentioned, I am inexperienced. my dom/sub knowledge comes from media such as fanfic 😅

I continue this conversation with this guy, even tho I am a bit uncomfortable with it because it is so new and unknown. At first I enjoy the sense of freedom the dominant energy gave me, although I don't consider myself a sub nor do I think I'm actually into this. but, alas I let it continue

then, he gets all sorts of controlling and mean. mind you, I've been talking to the person for a few DAYS. less than 5. I'm taken aback at the aggressive nature and ask him to slow down, give me some grace and let me get to know you and get to trust you. I said so many times that I barely know him, I don't trust you in this way, there's no way I can just fall into this dynamic without trusting you. it felt very reckless as someone who claimed to be a 'dom' to not encourage trust. and a hypocrite who told me communication was the most important thing, yet constantly ignored my requests to slow down and overlooked my concerns.

thennnn, threatened to 'punish' me....I laughed greatly at this bc you and I have never met in person, we've only communicated through text and i think this is silly at this point. I learned very quickly about myself that I will literally laugh in someone's face if they try to 'punish' me.

Eventually, I told this person that I was uncomfortable, used the established safe word and cut off communication.

I feel that this person is not a true 'dom', they are someone who simply wants the power and no responsibility of harboring a safe, healthy, communicative dynamic, ie, a true dom/sub dynamic.

and most embarrassingly, this 'situationship' has actually really deeply affected me. I was having panic attacks often while communicating with this person. I still feel really icky about all of it. I have told no one this because it feels humiliating. I know I'm not alone in these types of things but it's still so bizarre and uncomfortable to talk about.
