So I nearly cried watching Katelyn Ohashi's recent routine. (I'm assuming y'all have seen it...)
Seeing someone who was almost broken by the USA Gymnastics system come out and be so strong and powerful and joyful. I know she's been crushing it in NCAA for years, but now the general public is...
FYI, I found the post on Twitter.
I won't post a screenshot but to quote it:
An athlete commented "wow Varsity is winning".
Rebel replied: "we see that you're a CA athlete, which means you wear Rebel when you practice and compete. Screen shot of your comment sent to CA. I'm sure they'll love...
Precisely.
There are definitely uniforms that show more skin than these ones. (although that in itself is a problem...)
My main issue is the implication behind it: the use of well-known tropes (eg. the schoolgirl) that feature heavily in adult material.
It's very problematic, and I'm extremely...
I am sensitive about something I said being characterized as bullying. I welcome a downvote if you dislike something I say, but don't call it bullying, thanks.
I don't like the uniform, now let's move on.
Well if you think those uniforms are appropriate, that is your opinion.
But I don't appreciate you calling me a bully.
Bullying is a repeated pattern of personal attacks. That does not characterize my post.
Really?
And you would describe my post as bullying, would you?
I feel these uniforms are inappropriate and leaning towards over-sexualization. You can disagree, but please don't accuse me of bullying.
It's time for Top Gun's uniforms to stop.
Between the karate and the schoolgirl, they're leaning towards oversexualization, even fetish territory.
And that shouldn't be something I have to say about uniforms intended for minors.
A few thoughts..
Cali Coed's running tumbling is confusing. They have the difficulty but I've rewatched that routine multiple times now and still can't pinpoint where their running tumbling section is supposed to be. The whole choreography for that routine is a little chaotic for me.
Swoosh's...
I am loving SE's routine this year. Hearing the crowd sing along during the elite stunts gave me chills.
What an unfortunate fall during the standing tumbling though! They're lucky that collision wasn't worse.
Oh nooooo TGLC what are you doing?
I'm not usually a fan of Top Gun uniforms, they're just not my style. But I understand that their look is their trademark.
But this is just not right. Very symptomatic of the swing to the bizarre that we're seeing in unis currently.
See, gyms of America, it is possible to create a visually stunning uniform with no cutouts and room for a bra. Just ask Peach.
The only thing I'd change with that uniform is to put a bit of colour on the skirt, just to tie it together more.
