The people argue that it isn't an issue for and never has been an issue in skiing/snowboarding, in the mtns in general. "Nobody cares" "it isn't a problem" then half of the comments are angry dudes telling you how it isn't a problem and nobody cares.



Then people in marginalized groups say it has been, have some events, go have fun on the mtns, and angry dudes post angry things.

There's been a bunch of cool events getting women, people of color, queer folks out shredding. It's been a good thing. There are always some angry white straight men yelling in any of the posts.

Why do people doing things in the outdoors make these people so angry? Also how do they not realize that their douchey posts show the reason that those events exist?

Social media



noun









websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.


and here if your pea-brain needs another definition I'm already one step ahead of you (per usual)






















"The term social media refers to a computer-based technology that facilitates the sharing of ideas, thoughts, and information through virtual networks and communities. Social media is internet-based and gives users quick electronic communication of content, such as personal information, documents, videos, and photos."

AGOFWhile Reed was an absolutely sick skier he for was for sure several steps behind the top guys. Big air has a small field as it is and Reed didn’t have the grabs locked in super well on high rotation doubles. If you don’t think X Games would have been insanely stoked to market a non white person in skiing you’re lying to yourself, it would have been a huge ratings boost.


I guess, but also he was inventing axis and had such a marketable style IMO

Thats why a lot of people call his skiing “party flips on steroids”, it was super unorthodox and just looked like pure send

Logic really ain't your strong suit. Maybe spend less time being salty about the world growing around you and try to expand your horizons with it. Just a thought

Maybe these events are events put together by members of the community who want an event for similar people. I'm a queer white guy and think the events are a great thing to bring a community together and a great way to meet new friends.
itzPebbsBecause those events are a grift, made by white people who feel guilty

Your response further proves my point.

I don’t care that you’re queer.
I don’t care that you’re white.
And I don’t care what your friends identity as either.

theabortionatorI mean, you don't need to have friends to ski with either. Why don't you just ski alone?

Weird that people like you have such an intense reaction. These reactions show exactly why this stuff exists. Not sure why you need to be an asshole.

Really shows the underlying vibes for the "nobody cares" types. Seen it since people posting about coming out etc. "Nobody cares" "why do you have to make things about being queer?!?!?!"

Idk, because representation matters, and there's clearly still a bunch of assholes in the world. Good luck being mad about that or whatever.

Did you just make this thread so you could feel like a victim?

Literally who asked you to care? If it's not your jam, shut up about it and move along. It's really not that hard. Almost always the "I don't care" types have some weird hatred.

The thing is you do care, guaranteed. You just don't want to hear about or see the people that you hate. Nice dude.

itzPebbsYou don’t need to make an event to get a group of friends together and go skiing. It falls into the category of almost everything else in this county related to “inclusivity”, as in shit that’s being crammed down down people’s throats.


Weird how the douche vibes always are the victims. Omg no! It's so terrible that other people I hate have rights. It's infringing on my ability to be an asshole.

So some people want to ski with similar people and maybe make some friends. Oh no! What ever will we do. That sounds really terrible.

It's impressive how slow things change. Also impressive how the haters don't realize that these events are generally a direct response to the douchery. If people really didn't care, things would be different. But it's pretty obvious that that isn't the case.

Not at all dude. Just was impressed with the amount of douchery on anything posted about people or color, women, queer people on socials.

It's just weird.

I actually didn't expect to see as much in this thread. But yeah, Idk man. Good luck being angry at the world.

I remember a while ago there was a thread made about how NS needs to be more inclusive and how it’s toxic which leads to a lack of new young members that contribute to the site. At the time only a few ppl agreed with that take in the thread and everyone was saying that the OP was blowing things out of proportion and that while ppl troll in NS, it’s just banter and that the community isn’t very toxic. Some of the comments in this thread and in a bunch of other threads (PPL agreeing with Ahmets takes especially blatant transphobia, some negative comments on Maritime Air, and homophobia when Hank made a thread trying to facilitate a place for queer ppl to meet and interact in this site) over the past couple months show why that thread was made and show that there is potentially an alarming amount of people on NS who just aren’t very accepting to ppl of different walks of life. We need to do better as a community and overcome some of the negativity and prejudice that some ppl spew.

when I said a while I mean like half a year to a year ago tops. And no I haven’t been on this site as long as you since I either would have not been born or more likely have been a year or two years old. But I’ve been lurking since like 2017-2018 and I think 5 or so years is long enough to notice a trend or two.

For sure it’s definitely a thing, that’s what I was telling skierman that I did lol. I was just saying it’s a pretty shit insult that has literally no substance is all.

It isn't an issue, I think you should be able to enjoy skiing events no matter who you are or identify as, if there are special events for LGBTQ and stuff like that, thats a great thing for skiing and for those kind of people, but instead of making a problem out of it and "feeling uncomfortable" because of some "evil white dude boogeyman" that apparantly ? exists at every ski hill to make it his life mission of preventing "different" people from having fun, (even though I nor anyone I know have ever seen anything of the sort) maybe try to give less shit what other people think and just do what you enjoy and go to the events that you enjoy? what a load of bullshit this all is jesus christ.

I think it's good to talk about this stuff publicly, and especially in your local scenes. I observed similar patterns in my local online MTB scene, and decided to speak up about it in a blog post that used real-world examples that readers would recognize. It resonated with people and irked others, but the bottom line is it got people talking and thinking about things from a different perspective. After that, action, even if just calling others out on their bullshit.

Weird how people go ao heavy on the defense and get mad. If you're not an asshole idk what there is to get angrg about.

Also just listened to the bombhole episode with Brolin last night and he was talking about some of the shit he runs into going back to a couple months ago even being a black pro snowboarder.

Idk it's weird how people in different communities have run into some shitty people, enjoy having these events. But none of the issues exist because you say so?

Also how do people like you become the victim in this? "Omg can't say openly racist or homophobic shit anymore, they're censoring us!"

It's just weird how people ignore any problems, say they don't exist, are assholes about it, and then somehow become the vicitm. Some weird shit more used to seeing in the religious right.

You preach the whole "maybe try to give less shit what other people think and just do what you enjoy and go to the events that you enjoy? what a load of bullshit this all is jesus christ." Yet can't let people just have their thing without being mad/kind of a douche about it?

How angry this topic makes peole really shows why these events exist, if the issues that you ignore weren't enough.

The whole basis of your arguments is cramming words and opinions down my throat, I'm not homophobic, angry/mad or racist, why do you feel the need to call me homophobic and racist when that's not true, using it as a weapon to attack anyone that doesn't share your opinion about outrage mentality, this was exactly the kind of answer I was expecting from you too, you create a problem and then justify your outrage, really funny.

There you go. On the defense. Everyone is targeting you.

Idk. I don't get it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised but it's kind of rough to see how trenched in and many times aggressive people get about this topic.

We're using this as a weapon to attack you with out outrage mentality sure.

So you say there isn't an issue, disregard anyone who's experienced problems telling them to suck it up and deal with it. All while playing a weird victim role that people are coming after you.

Got it.
