/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

The only thing bothering me on tumblr right now are all those posts about that one Japanese ice skater at the Olympics. There's all these people posting things like he's hot, which pisses off everyone that claims they knew about him before the Olympics which are saying that it's disrespectful or that people on Tumblr only started to like him because he's Asian. What I find strangest is that someone in the former made a post to defend him and said it was okay to compare him to anime characters like Shinji Ikari but it's wrong to say he has a nice butt or sexualize the guy (he's 19). So it's wrong to admire an athlete for their body and talent but okay to pretend he's just like a mentally disturbed 14 year old whose only trait in common is being from Japan. Or photoshop SnK characters faces over his head because that's so much more respectful.

Glancing at one of these 1k+ posts nearly all these rebloggers were weeaboos with anime-related usernames and non-sports blogs. I wish they were tagged so I could block them but it's not like any of them are even going to give a shit about the guy once Sochi wraps up.
