well said and needs to be seen by more ppl tbh
I just need to complain about this sorry if I am doing it here but Max’s fans are literally NOT being Max’s fans.
Dear allegedly “Max” fans, you are angry about your driver getting booed in front of a British crowd and a British media (that he criticised for an entire year, by the way, but that’s beyond the point) and now you are saying that FIA is amazing for having pointed out how unfair that is.
First of all, you were the same people that during the entire season firmly believed that the FIA was totally British biased because of Max’s penalty in Brazil (for context, in other races: Lando got an ancient penalty the race after, George’s win was taken away from him, Lewis got disqualified; but yes okay, British biased)
Second of all, you are agreeing with Jos for saying that Max won’t attend British events anymore due to the disrespect. Well, I have many things to say about this:
1. MAX IS A FUCKING ADULT, he is a step-dad and a soon to be dad, he doesn’t need his fucking father to talk in his place.
2. Max has said numerous times before that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about other people’s opinion. Why should you in his place when he is, again, A FUCKING ADULT
3. Okay, then, if you are literally so concerned about Max’s mental health, I guess you won’t call Lando a “baby” anymore for getting anxiety over death treats that YOU gave him for taking his comments completely out of context, and you won’t make fun anymore of George for doing what is in its rights as a driver and asking for the stewards to apply a penalty following the fucking rulebook
4. Max getting booed at the presentation (I honestly just saw it was directed to, you know, sexual assaulter on the loose Christian Horner but whatever) is suddenly very much important to the FIA. Okay then, where was the FIA when Max got all that backlash in Abu Dhabi 2021? Where was the FIA in all the Monza races from 2022 onwards (I am not even a Lestappen shipper but the only people who defended Max against the booing were just Charles in 2022 and Carlos in 2023 - I was there - JUST TO SAY)? Where was the FIA in Brazil and where was the FIA when Lando got booed in Zandvoort (since FIA is British biased then they should’ve defended him, no?)?
Be fucking for real and be fucking coherent
you see, what pisses me off about the entire thing, is how max fans are NOW concerned about the wellbeing of a driver. it didn't matter when they found the slightest, minute instance involving lando to microanalyse, misconstrue and then wield it against him. it didn't matter when george came out, said that he was literally being fucking threatened with assault, yet they did nothing but make max seem like the victim (so so ludicrous to me how someone could speak out but still be villainised-- i can't even imagine how george must've felt). it didn't matter when his fans attacked lewis after 2021. but a simple boo'ing kills them.
honestly, if that of all things, in all its justifiable glory, is what causes max, a grown man, to be absent in british events then lol, so fucking be it good riddance. not him reaping what he sowed after being disrespectful to the representing athletes of a nation, and then getting upset when said nation isn't okay with it 💀 say, what a shocker
it's so funny to me how the fia is backing this man up, making him look a whole lot stupid and then some for claiming that he had the 'wrong passport' in regards to the so-called bias, over something that, really, mildly inconvenienced him. look, it's time max saw the gravity of the repercussions. yes you've got 4 championships (i could be petty and say 3 tbh), but it doesn't warrant this other-worldly god complex. lewis isn't even on this level of egotistical and he has nearly double max has.
one thing i do love about this situation is how most of the f1 fandom is actually handing it to max. i saw, in a comment section, people telling him to be a 'man' and get over it, which is insaaaanely satisfying for me as a lando fan, because God truly knows how much 'lando's a baby' 'lando is mentally weak' i had to endure post-brazil alone, let alone for the latter part of the season.
hopefully now he's seeing that, contrary to his [probably] self-absorbed belief, the british don't rate him as much as he thought.
writers please i desperately need someone to write that singer!oscar and driver!lando au i spoke about a while ago😣😣
watching lando claim that oscar needs to go faster while being +2.7s behind my brother in christ if you keep going at your speed won't be able to see oscar at all
"ollie is lestappen son" "ollie is charlos son" wrong. he is charles' son and trying to find out who his other dad is mamma mia (2008) style
I don't know why I'm getting excited for the season to start. its not like I'm not going to have a mental breakdown if mclaren is bad
Can't explain this but it is correct.
obsessed with the sitcom cast photos where it's just a guy with his hands in his pockets. like hell yeah. hands in pockets. he's so normal.
ass so fat he need a passport 4 that shit
the scream i scrumt when i thought oscar had pole for those two seconds 💀
I always find it ironic how much these far right men who make Star Wars content love to talk about Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and love to present themselves as experts on the character.
Isn't Anakin the character whose portrayal you disliked so much that you bullied a child off the movie industry? Isn't Anakin the character whose portrayal you disliked so much you made Hayden Christensen not want to be seen in public for years?
These men love to present themselves as just "passionate movie lovers" and justify everything they did to Jake and Hayden with "we were just criticizing bad acting". No what you've always disliked is how Anakin is shown as someone who at some point in his life had people he cared about, people that cared about him, he's shown as someone who at some point didn't just feel hatred for everyone and everything, unlike you. It's not enough that at the end of the day, Anakin still turned into Vader, no the fact they dared to show him cry, love, as not being the "alpha male" these men think of themselves as, made them decide it was their life mission to ruin the careers and lives of two actors. Personally I've also always had the suspicion that Hayden Christensen never appearing to be anything like these men in interviews he gave also set them off.
And what has changed in the past couple years or so isn't how Hayden portrays Anakin or anything, it's the fact the fandom has turned so much on the idea he was a bad Anakin, that these men no longer sense they have an audience who will tolerate them berating him. The moment they think this has changed, they'll turn the chip right back on.
All this to say none of the reactions you are seeing right now regarding one of the most recent Andor episodes (if you don't know what I'm talking about be careful looking it up as it is triggering) are about the writing in Star Wars. Star Wars does a good job portraying an oppressive regime in the form of the galactic empire. The problem is these men don't care about what Star Wars is trying to tell you, these men care about using Star Wars and all the characters as vessels for their sick world view.
