I’m a psychology student so I will explain that victim complexes are displayed on an interpersonal level. Being upset at the comments of someone in power is not interpersonal. You can say you think people are getting offended over nothing but you can’t call it a victim complex because that’s not what it means.

Idk… I think it’s reasonable to not want to forgive someone for a mistake if they haven’t taken any kind of responsibility for it. I know they have to be careful what they say but nobody seems to have acknowledged in any capacity that any of their actions might have hurt people. Recognizing the greater impact of what you say and do is so important to being a public figure if you want to remain in favor

Yeah I get it’s frustrating and you want to put it past you already but people are still going to talk about issues that are important to us. Maybe it’s time to let the people who want to talk, talk, and you can find somewhere else to put your energy instead of into something you don’t care about (not meant to be passive aggressive in any way, I just think maybe it’s good to recognize when a specific time and place is not a good place for you to be in at that moment)

no i totally see that and maybe that’s what should be said in all of these arguments. i think when they made their statements they were more concerned about the women’s team’s feelings and assuring ppl that they had no ill intentions. they prob weren’t thinking people actually cared that much (i still think they shouldn’t)

I don’t think it’s me being well-spoken I think it’s that I try to look at things from different perspectives and include the context before I form opinions. The comment *could* have been passed off as no ill intent, but actions have a greater impact than intent and a lot of people were upset because they kind of saw it as part of a bigger historical and present picture of women’s achievements being slighted in preference of men. Also considering that 48% of female athletes and 63% of women+

+who work in sports organizations have experienced sexist comments or behavior (and I don’t have statistics for how many NHL players have been accused of violence or sexual misconduct but I believe every team was implicated in knowing and covering up at least one incident from like 1990-2015 I think?) it just seems to make sense that it’s misogyny because it’s so common and ingrained into sports culture.

I explained further down the thread the reasons why women may be offended about the comment and I would recommend reading so you can understand their perspective I would also like to point out that a lot of people are especially upset that these players, many of whom have young daughters, are buddying up to a guy who was friends with Epstein and knew definitely that he was a sex trafficker, and more than likely knew that he trafficked children. It’s not a good look for them
