Huh? That guy is cool because of his lore and his attitude. We don’t care if he is male, female an alien or whatever. We don’t care if he won a medal, a diploma or a 5$ discount on a supermarket.
He is relevant because this guy went shooting into an olimpic event with a normal guy vibe wearing his prescription glasses and one hand in the pocket, while other olimpic teams wear all kind of complex sighting aparatus for this events. Plus his story lore of how he became olimpic shooter is hilarious.
His teamate could be Erdogan, Beyonce, Taylor Swift. NOT RELEVANT.
It was literally a team event and one of the things that makes the bit funny is how “he” won silver. In fact, that’s the entire thing this story hinges on, performing well.
In a team event.
Nice self-reporting your misogyny though, and I’m sorry your mind fails to draw a single independent conclusion from this meme.
This isn’t me being misogynistic but had his teammate done better they’d have won gold, she brought the score down, he actually shot better than both of the winners.
This is not to say she wasn’t qualified for this, in fact I believe her previous track record is better than his
When I shot in highschool it was a team event while also individual. So your team’s score is the summation of the individuals scores (pre-finals).
(Finals is like an extra portion for the top few competitors. Your score in finals is added and that’s your total. It was added to make the sport more spectator friendly. When I shot it was just 10 extra shots but shortly after I stopped it was changed to top 8 shooting one shot at a time and lowest shot gets eliminated. I believe this is still the case based on pictures I saw of the two finalists shooting side by side alone.)
So it’s possible he won silver as individual and the team didn’t win or also got silver. I haven’t actually looked into the Olympic rules or results but that’s how it was when I shot competitively.
Edit: Looks like 10 meter air pistol categories individual men, individual women, and mixed team are all run at different times. So it was only as a team that they won silver. I don’t know about the individual results of the team competition, but regardless it wouldn’t have earned a medal. en.wikipedia.org/…/Shooting_at_the_2024_Summer_Ol…
I thought it was just his normal guy vibe without the shooting glasses. Pretty sure the hand in the pocket is common and I haven’t heard anything about a hilarious back story.
First I read about it from a comment was that he was trying to prove his Ex-Wife wrong that he can make something of himself. But it didn’t mention is that he joined the Gendarmerie of Turkey, which is a police type force in rural areas and other places in the country.
I don’t want to lower his achievements but he’s just a cop who obviously did well in his shooting practice and turned that into a silver medal. He isn’t a hitman like the memes are saying.
This man showed up to compete in the Olympics after his son was assaulted by a wild pack of turkish trans furry democrats. His Turkish sons last words were"Baba, şimdi dinlenmem gerek. Bu trans demokrat kürklerin bugün kazandı ama sen benim ölümümü intikamını almak için Olimpiyatlarda kazanacaksın, baba. Bana ya özgürlük ver ya da ölüm." -New York Post
It is not really “higher” than police and it is not regular military. The gendarmerie in Turkey is responsible for policing outside cities, they are part of the military, but they are subordinate to the interior ministry during peace times (regular military answers to the defence ministry).
I know this is increasingly accepted, but ‘female’ is actually an adjective. You could say ‘has a female athlete’ or even just ‘has a lady’, but the current wording is a bit off.
Normally “female” is more used in clinical settings or about not-human animals. One reason it gives off incel energy is it reduces a person to what genitals they have.
So do all other categorisation terms, which on top of that, group them with others in the same category and help the people who’d blame everything on a category of people. Specially the “-ism” -> “-ist” categorisations.
I’d rather have scientific categorisation than a social one, that would enable dialogues such as:
A: Define a “woman”, you senator/judge/other public personality.
B: … I think I am not qualified to … more gibberish … ( because I need to be politically correct).
And that’s probably why people prefer this choice of words. To prevent the “Cis vs Trans - you dare assume their gender” bullies from finding them as easy prey. And over time, it becomes second nature.
I feel like, in this case OC (original commenter) is trying to admit that they don’t know the “female” as a person (neither do they know anything about the relationship between the 2) and claiming that the clout is just based on her being a female.
Whether or not that is accurate, OC does get the point across.
Now the following is just my agenda, but I think we ought not to give humans all the privilege of respect. It is the person, that we need to give that to. That way, we, as a civilisation, will be ready just in case another species, capable of being a person, comes up, whether terrestrial or otherwise.
To be fair, in English most adjectives can also be used as nouns. I suppose I should have said that in this context, using it as an adjective is inappropriate.
Yeah, we should never consider reasoning as a human quality. Social media platforms tend to remove that. I thought Lemmy was different. Well I guess it depends on the instance.
At first I thought he was a divorcee just trying to get his dog back but now that I know he’s a divorcee spending time with his daughter I like the story even more.
