This olympic boxing situation is really exposing a bunch of white queers on my timeline who absolutely cannot wait to rush to the defense of a white woman who is about to massively financially benefit off of this whole racist transphobic intersexist outcry manufactured by known white supremacists.

At least it makes it easy to figure out who to block and unfollow.

Seriously, the amount of posts I see with people falling over themselves to defend Angela Carini, when there's not even anything to defend her from?? As if she needs anymore help. She's done nothing but benefit from the situation.

Imane Khelif is the one actually under attack here, you ghouls.

This entire thing is just... so many huge, waving red flags all at once. It's like all the headlines we've been waving around over the last couple years are arriving one after the other. 'Transphobia Hurts Cis Women, Too' and 'You're Literally Parroting Russian Propaganda' are doing a lot of heavy lifting, but also 'Block Your Face in the Face-Punching Contest, Dipshit' should get some time in the sun.

Imane Khelif didn't get a fraction of this attention and scrutiny - if anybody honestly knew her name prior to all this to begin with, because I certainly hadn't heard of her - while she was losing, but SuUUUUUuDDeNLYyYYyYyyyYYyy... "oh that poor angela carini" oh stop. A loser lost and is making it everybody's problem. She is a wedge issue that's going to make shit worse for so many fucking people, and she's getting paid to do it!

I watched the video last night, the bout itself wasn't 46 seconds, it was more like 4 seconds…the rest was Carini in the corner refusing to go back in while everyone else was like ??????

And I know you can't tell how hard a hit is just from watching a video but the actual hit just doesn't look like even an attempt at a KO blow. It looks like a fake soccer fall or a fake basketball foul, I wouldn't want to be at the end of it but that's because I don't want to box at all, much less at the fucking Olympic level. But if I had to for some reason pick "recorded punches to take while wearing full safety gear" it would probably be near the top of my list! But, none of this actually matters to a flopper faker hatebaiter or her bigot brigade.

Carini is materially profiting off of and fomenting transphobia, her first nopology was still transphobic and the second one isn't shit, but it's unsurprising to me that the "doesn't understand how or why to take responsibility for harm" crowd doesn't understand that. If you're uncomfortable about how people are talking about her, it's probably because you're heavily invested in narratives where white people are immediately forgiven for any slight or harm to marginalized communities at the slightest hint of the drop of a hat, and you should probably sit down and think about why that is.
