How Homophobia United Hockey's Biggest Rivals
Summary
Ali @shanehollanderfanpage24
Can we PLEASE!! cancel Ilya Rozanov already, that man is the most bigoted guy in the whole fucking sport (AND REMEMBER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOCKEY HERE, BIGOTED SPORT NR1!!!). I am SO TIRED of people acting like that guy would be some kind of Gay ally???Or: everyone on ice hockey twitter somehow convinces themselves that Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are homophobic (and also best friends).
Notes
If you think you've seen this fic before then you might be correct. I accidentally deleted this fic while trying to figure out the formatting of the fic I'm writing right now. (earlier I accidentally posted a fic I only wanted to have in my drafts to figure out the html, which I then promptly deleted as soon as I saw. When I then later came back to my laptop and saw this fic was posted, I thought I had accidentally done it again and rushed to delete it... little did I know I was on the wrong fic)
Anyway, long story short: I'm so sorry to any subscribers who have to deal with all the notifications from all the misclicks I have made today and also to anyone annoyed that they're seeing the same fic pop up on the timeline twice.
If it's any consolation to subscribers of the series, a genuine new fic for this series will be posted probably later today or tomorrow (Troy Barrett centered)
So now for anyone that wants to reread this or read it for the first time: Have fun reading!

Now that you mention it!! I looked at the video and istg this is part of what led up to the fight, you can kind of hear them talking plus I'm pretty good at reading lips:
Hunter: You're starting to sound like him (Him obviously being Rozanov!! Also I wasn't able to figure out what they said before this so it definitely could've been some homophobic comment)
Hollander: I'm sorry, what?
Hunter: You fucking heard me, Hollander.
Hollander: The fuck is that supposed to mean?
AND THEN when they were being dragged apart Hollander says something like this?? (This time full on lip reading)
"You fucking pussy! Go home! Go home! You're 45 years old!"
Like wtf?? DEFINITELY Homophobic!!

both Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander must have found out about Scott Hunter being gay before the events of this. This is the only point not actually proven by evidence, but becomes very clear once you stack everything together!

Ilya Rozanov chirps Scott Hunter on the ice. Hunter said: "Go fuck yourself, Rozanov!" to which Rozanov replied: "It's more fun if you're there.". This is clearly a jab at Scott being gay, and Rozanov is subtly threatening Scott, by saying something with the subtext: you better be quiet, before I tell the whole world about your secret.

Shane Hollander says something to Scott to which he replies "You're starting to sound like him.". Scott is obviously referencing Rozanov here, it is to be assumed that Hollander said something homophobic to warrent the answer from Scott.

To further prove the previous point. Shane Hollander then continues to instigate a fight on the ice, for the first, and only, time in his entire career. Even after being held back he yells insults at Scott which include phrases like: "You fucking pussy!".

At the 2017 All Star games, Ilya Rozanov kisses Shane Hollander on the cheek, Shane Hollander looks very happy about it. Those two both found out they knew about Scott's secret and apparently became friends over it. That kiss was definitely a taunt at Scott, like, look, here are two men kissing each other

Please remember that Hollander and Rozanov used to hate each other, Rozanov is also an asshole and would not have reacted this way if they hadn't somehow become friends along the way!

Make sure not to break your back with how far you're reaching. It's a lost case for your hockey player but maybe you can still save yourself. This entire thing reads like: Omg Rozanov picked up an apple, that means he called Scott Hunter a homophobic slur!! And have y'all seen that Shane ALSO picked up an apple? Clearly that means Shane and Rozanov are actually besties and therefore Shane must be homophobic too!!!

If he wants to fuck men so bad do it behind closed doors, showing off that shit on TV while there are children watching is disgusting.

Genuinely thank you so much for putting all this together! I know a lot of the times we're just trying to be funny on the internet, but this is actual real research that helps people! Especially those in the lgbtqia+ community now know who to avoid. Just imagine a gay fan went up to either of them and got cussed out simply 'cause they thought their favourite player would be supportive, it's horrible to think about! So thank you for showing the hidden bigotry of a player like Shane Hollander, who so many people (including me) have believed to be an ally over the years!! <3

In light of this post I will be changing my account to a pure hockey fan account, the name will change to: icehockeyfanpage1. I didn't want to believe it, but the evidence clearly stacks against Shane. I've tweeted about Rozanov being homophobic before and I see now that those two are clearly friends, so I have no excuse to be supporting Shane anymore. I must say I feel incredibly misled, betrayed, and dissapointed by all this. I'm sure a lot of (now former) Shane fans can agree that his PR team evidently did really good work in covering up his real personality.

Yk.. sometimes I remember that I used to be a Shane Hollander fan and I CRINGE so hard. I hate how this explanation makes so much sense. Not these losers becoming best friends just because they don't like seeing two men kissing. 💀

There is this feature on Twitter that's called blocking. If you really didn't want my presence you'd use it. But alas, your subconscious knows I've actually been right all along.

So excited to announce the new charity me and my friend Ilya are starting! Named after Ilya's mother, we want to raise money and awareness for organisations which provide support for those suffering from mental illness. This is a really important topic for both of us, and of course, especially personal for Ilya!

Honestly it's probably 'cause of Rozanov's mom. While I don't like him, I do feel bad for his mom, so it's understandable how he'd be more open to mental health issues

At most he's like slightly unhappy, which could have a variety a reasons btw. Not my fault you see a guy playing hockey, using pride colours, and think just because he is not smiling for all of two seconds, that he definitely hates the queer player. As if he wasn't happy MOST OF THE GAME.

Kind of want to hope that Rozanov is genuinely supporting Troy Barrett? Like I feel like he wouldn't have used the rainbow tape if he was really homophobic, no?

Lowkey, for Troy Barrett's sake, I'm hoping Rozanov is not as much of a dick as twitter makes him out to be. Like I imagine having a homophobic captain would SUCK after coming out. Genuinely hoping for the best for Barrett.

Kissing in the background of a stupid fucking fanmail video is the worst prank I have ever seen. Can those two assholes never stop being homophobic?? Like yes we all know Hayden Pike is stupid as fuck, but not even he would be stupid enough to aCciDeNtaLlY post his best friend Shane Hollander making out with his "secret boyfriend".
