Are people here who claim to be Seb fans even his fans lmao... I followed blogs in hopes there'd be photos/gifs of Seb and discussions of his career... Had to unfollow a bunch of them after one them typed out a whole ass essay mentioning how the two drivers have become friends overcoming their rivalry and even though Seb got beaten... And I was like hold up, I didn't know Seb has only been in the sport since 2015 when he started driving for Ferrari, and that F1 has only existed since 2014, because according to quiet a few Tumblr users there is only one driver capable of winning races🥴 like darling, some of us saw Sebastian Vettel win 4 championships in one of the most competitive eras of the sport while fighting off multiple world champions, including the driver you think is unbeatable lol, and on a grid where the difference in pace between the top 3 and sometimes top4 was less than 4-5 tenths of a second, and not like the hybrid era, where even this year while Mercedes and Red Bull were within a tenth of each other on most race weekends, everyone else behind them was slower by over half a second... like with most of these Seb's fans or those who claim to also be Seb fans, I feel like they also probably believe the bullshit the media has fed the audience... Literally saw someone claiming to be his fan quoting Fernando Alonso from his interview with Lee McKenzie in 2013, and I was like babes, nando was just jealous and talking out of his ass, why are you using that as the parameter to judge someone you claim to be a fan of??

Most of these people are definitely here for the grid dad vibes lol, and to fetishize him, like I wouldn't wanna kink shame people, but if the entirety of your Sebastian Vettel fan existence is just making him an object of your own shipping fantasies, and then acting all baffled and offended when he does not give fodder to your delusional ship, then may as well not call yourself a Seb fan blog and confuse people into following you.

Most of them just gave me brain rot, and it was even more hilarious seeing some of them type out PSAs about how they don't agree with what Seb has to say and give him a benefit of doubt, and he is saying it because he was a RB driver... And I am like, man he just named the driver he'd like to see win the championship, why are you lot acting like he has just given a statement on something worldly important that is problematic and is harming a community? Get a grip... Team LH and Sewis ain't any minority 🤭

And the buffoons saying he is jealous, sorry honey, my man wanted to fulfill his childhood dream of winning a championship with Ferrari, and not statpad wins and poles, and rejected Mercs advances in 2017/18&19, with a signed pre-contract being thrown in the bin... He is much happier and content with driving for the team he wanted to since he was a kid, and not for a team that comes in and leaves the sport depending on the head start they can get over the others so they can build dominant machines and lobby regulations according to their whims.

Anon, absolutely all this and then some more!! I am sure most of these people are new fans who have no idea what the hell has gone down between Seb and all his rivals in the past. Or if they really claim to know it all, then they just don't care about it and ship people for the aesthetics and brownie woke points of it.

Look, I seem like I am hating on those Seb bloggers and the sudden Seb supporting LH fans because S/ewis is popular here and I don't like one part of the pairing due to reasons. True, this is a reason, but not the main one. I hate some other Seb pairings just as much, but most of the Seb bloggers from that side and the ''sudden Seb supporting LH fans'' are creating a narrative and not only believing it but also are serving it as the truth to the other new fans. And that's a huge disservice to Seb and how he actually must be feeling after everything that has ever happened.

They ignore history, they ignore blatant happenings of today and past and say that "They are the bestest of friends on the grid because Seb supports BLM and Lgtbq+ and environmental causes" as if the guy doesn't have enough brains to figure stuff out on his own or just can't support his colleague without being chummy chummy with him.

They say "Seb and Lewis look out for each other/protect each other/get angry for each other's sake" This one really requires some insanity to be mixed in. They say "They are the best bromance that ever happened" No Jan, they aren't even friends as they repeated many times and 2017-2018 seasons were quite nasty, but you need to read/watch some pre/post race interviews but you don't care, I know.

They say "They are together every race weekend and they must be meeting up out of the paddock, too." I think they are mistaking Lh with Kimi 😬 Oh, but Kimi's existence and his real bromance and friendship and history doesn't fit into their narrative, so they pretend Kimi doesn't exist.

The LH fans say they like Seb as Lewis' only rival. Sure Jan, because for reasons Seb wasn't able to win that fucking 2018 title, so he is harmless now and of fucking course he is his best rival. Btw, you should go eat Fernando and Nico's asses... They say they like Seb, but they post Seb's pics together with Lh's and body shame him because of his hair and pecs just like they did to Max. They love him until he says he supports the other driver for the title fight. Meanwhile the Seb blogs side ignore what Seb said and how much rapport is between him and Max in their previous encounters and even feel possibly ashamed of it, ahahaha. Fuck...

Fuck I really hate this. I am so sick of their narrative and so sick of it being force fed down my throat. Shows the power of demagogy. So, I am only following a handful of Seb bloggers now.
