Critics hated the 2025 football-horror film HIM due to its supposed lack of subtlety. But @rsbenedict.bsky.social argues: what if that lack of subtlety is what makes the movie so effective as art? www.typebarmagazine.com/we-are-the-e...

Football is human sacrifice/body horror. Critics hated this movie because it was up front about all that in a maximalist way. There is no subtlety when discussing a sport where the announcers straight up say "you can do sexual assault if you score enough touchdowns"

A lot of people think when you do stand up for women or for whatever is right, you have a Tumblr and everyone clapped moment. Nobody claps.

I've came to the conclusion I'm only going to repost this once again for one simple reason. Nobody talks about what happens after you stand up in masculinist spaces: they decide they can't trust you.

My thoughts exactly. The players must want to do well for him, because there was no reason for this particular bunch of guys to end up with a .500 record. The problem he has is that fans treat real baseball like it’s a video game and think he just isn’t hitting the power swing button correctly.

Which is saying something, since that team got to the playoffs with five batters meaningfully above 100 wRC+. Of course, it’s been very funny watching people who claim to be data heads ignore the increasing preponderance of evidence that lineup protection is mostly anecdotal so they can grumble.

2022 was a magical year where everything went right, and there were still assholes insisting Dusty Baker should get fired after every one of their 56 losses. The years since have only proven that way too many baseball fans treat the sport they supposedly love like a video game they suck at playing.

As far as Sousa and Walker getting all het up over their own fans booing them, I can’t bring myself to care about their feelings, but in 2026—after seeing years of ignorant, short-sighted, spoiled opinions become conventional social media wisdom—I refuse to take other Astros fans’ side on anything.

Of course, he’s twelve, but then you remember that this is the exact thing Defector’s staff did: put out classic Ratto logorrhea to rehash the whole scandal, and then also put a nice article out about Alex Bregman’s broken face that even notes the Cubs are the most homer-prone team in baseball.

One of my students today went, in one minute flat, to “why are you a fan of those cheaters?” to “the Cubs got Alex Bregman and he’s been great,” so it’s another day on the counter of baseball fans being unable to read.

It helps to understand America as a casino you’re trapped in: no windows to another future, no concept of time apart from the casino itself, designed to wear you down. Neon lights and beeps and boops, every machine dressed up as some familiar IP, all doing the same thing: slowly bleeding you dry.
