sure, that’s what needs to be focused on.

Heroic. Right?

Needs celebrating. Right?

I, too, am certain that he was wearing in-ear protection because needlessly ruining your hearing wouldn’t be heroic, but plain stupid.

And _the fact remains_ that the woman at his side goes unnoticed, for the bling of an alleged detail used to distract from her.

@kommaKucken @saltphoenix @hahn_cornelia Heroic? I didn’t get that. I mostly saw memes about him being relaxed and “underdressed” for the sport. “bored hitman dad” sums it up. Re team: He also competed in the men’s the day before. I am unsure when the memes popped up. I just went to watch the team competition as it was happening the day the meme showed up for me. He was wearing hearing protection but it was barely visible as it was in-ear. (1/2)

She was definitely geared up with big over-ear protection and visor. He looked like he just walked off the street and that’s what the memes are about. (2/2)

@bowreality @saltphoenix @hahn_cornelia It's all about the style, particularly the memes comparing him with Kim Ye-Ji: nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna16450

In short, based on a single photo people were able to read in an entire backstory for these two people - futuristic cyborg assassin and laid back assassin - that probably bear no resemblance to their actual lives. That's the whole story. Has nothing much to do with misogyny or patriarchy.

@kommaKucken @bowreality @saltphoenix @hahn_cornelia they both competed separately, as well as as a team:

The author is either a massive JK Rowling-stanning transphobe, or coincidentally has the same name as another Russian sports journalist who is one:

The article is false from the beginning, because it was the photo that went viral on social media, not a narrative about silver-haired athletes winning silver medals.
