theqoo] PEOPLE'S TASTE IN FIGURE SKATING'S OUTFITS THAT IS GETTING AN EXTREME DIVIDE BETWEEN HANYU YUZURU AND NATHAN CHEN

bypannchoaFebruary 08, 2022

Hanyu

Nathan

The fans have been comparing their clothes saying that they were extreme opposite of each other for the longest time..

There are also a lot of people saying that if they combined their styles together, it would be a complete mess

By the way, the pictures are from the short program at the Beijin Olympics

1. I was gonna say that Chen was better than Hanyu but looking at the additional pictures...

2. My taste is Hanyu

3. Hanyu for me

4. Hanyu for me too

5. Hanyu... Chen's outfit looks kinda basic?

6. Nathan is an ENFP...?

7. I think that if Hanyu were to wear genderless idol outfits, he wouldn't even look weirdㅋㅋㅋ but if Nathan did it.... his personality is too manlyㅋㅋㅋ

8. What's happening with Chen's free outfit? But Chen for me

9. Hul Chen's free clothes...;;;;

10. Both are charming so they look good

11. Hanyu is my style

12. Hanyu skates like he's doing ballet so he suits figure skating outfits

13. You can't put the two togetherㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

14. I thought that those were Nathan's training outfit

15. I kinda feel like the last one would be what American kids like ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

16. Hanyu

Nathen Chen is the kind of guy who believes wearing a little bit of glitter makes you gay

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

Hanyu is GOAT but goddamn people who obsess over visuals in sports too are straight fkd in the head

its one thing if the outfit ruins the performance but both of them are absolute top end performers

It’s about their outfits not the looks. I don’t think either of them look particularly good either way lol. It really depends on whether you believe artistry deserves a spot in ice skating or not.

These comments are also a result of Nathen Chen’s controversial remarks from last year. So people are going to keep talking about it lol.

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

what did Chen say

He thinks figure skating is for the gays and he’s brining in the masculinity.

So people will continue to talk about his outfits and lack of artistry in conjecture with those comments

Quote from blingyblinger

Controversial remarks?

Anywho I like both outfits but as I lover of sparkles Yuzuru stood out to me most. HOWEVER the best skating outfit so far was the gorgeous dragon

He referred to ice skating as “gay”…I mean literally he said ice skating is a sport filled with LGBTQ people and well the internet did not like that…

It was pretty big last year and then he apologized…anyway so anything he does is always viewed through the lens of toxic masculinity from then on lol

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

ok so i just checked and apparently he meant that's how the public sees it and he wants to change that

way to accuse people after misreading their words

even gay people in the comments agree he's just saying things as it is

personally i never saw it as masculine or feminine but its kinda true that most guys ( and even girls ) my age do call it a gay sport

Display More

No one misread his words. He himself apologized for that.

Quote from blingyblinger

Well that's a tad disappointing

edit with the context:

Well that's a lot less disappointing

What context when asked about figure skating being viewed as feminine instead of going after the prejudice he said figure asking is filled with LGBTQ people. There is no context that makes what he said okay and that’s why he apologized.

Anyway he can learn and grow but he deserved the criticism

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

listen the interview word for word

he wants to show the world that it is NOT a sport targetted towards gay people ( which is kind of a stereotype that does exist although not popular cause the sport is not mainstream )

not that he himself thinks it is and should be looked down on as such

Eye- that’s exactly why it’s wrong

Wtf is “targeted for gay people” and wanting to “change” that lololololol.

Look you can like him but I don’t have time to deal with BS about his bigoted comments getting a pass.

Quote from blingyblinger

You kinda wrote it like he was being homophobic or at the least had a lot of toxic masculinity and I don't see that in the video at all

He was? Lol.

This is the full trans script which part of saying figure skating is LGBTQ dominated sport and emphasizing he’s straight NOT homophobic or toxic masculinity lol.

I thought all this was done with last year lol. Anyway I don’t care that much about nathan Chen you can continue to Stan him.

But people are going to remember his bigoted remarks and keep talking about it. Anyway I just answered why people care so much about why Nathan Chen dresses the way he does.

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

Im much more of a fan of Hanyu's style so its not my personal bias saying this

do you want a written transcript or what?

he said nothing negative about LGBTQ people but that the sport as a whole gets stereotyped by ignorant people as being LGBTQ dominated and he wants to change the people's perception

basically he WANTS to bring in an audience who are open minded about the sport

how tf is that bigoted by any means

Display More

I posted the full transcript and understood fully what he said. Everyone already talked to death about this. He too knew what he said was wrong and then apologized for it.

He said HE was a straight man in a LGBT dominated sport. He was wrong to say that. If you don’t see that that’s on you.

Anyway idc so please don’t try to “convince” me more. You asked why people talk about his clothing choices in particular and it’s because of this image of his.

Quote from blingyblinger

It literally is an LGBTQ dominated sport though? 25-50% compared to the 5% general population. Anyway I read it like unbannBLACPINK where he just wants to break the stigmatized "gay" idea of everything

Anywho I don't even stan the guy I just wanted to post my opinion as a queer person

Eye- I have nothing to say. You do you.

Quote from licoricebtch

It’s weird when he said the sport was dominated by homosexuals when a lot of male figure skaters actually end up marrying women…. it’s literally only in America where straight men are so damn sensitive about sexuality that they think skating is a gay sport so they have to go above and beyond to prove their straightness.

This is why I never really cared for his skating in general no matter how many records he breaks. lolol.

America has a weird relationship with “looking” gay and he’s just another dude bro feeding into that image.

Quote from licoricebtch

And not very many professional figure skaters have even come out as gay or lesbian so it’s a weird thing to say. So his toxic masculinity is showing there. Maybe in the US it’s a gay sport lmfao. In other countries it’s a family affair.

He’s breaking the glass ceiling and boundaries by skating in black sweats. Ground breaking change to the sport. He sure showed them dude bros how it’s REALLY done.

Quote from laleria

did he say this somewhere?

c'mon. Their programs are different. Music is different, characters they portray on the ice are different. The costumes match the character. Don't have any problems with Chen's costume.

Also, this is Chen's style, he doesn't wear fancy costumes, maybe because he is not comfortable in them.

It’s based on his previous accounts of bigotry

Also I can’t do the whole argument thing again if you didn’t find his previous comments bigoted please don’t tell me about it Kek.

Quote from laleria

if you about video you attached, i haven't watched it. Sorry.
I didn't know about any controversy related to Chen so I comment only about costumes here. I think both costumes in the thread are ok and matches their programs. Don't have any preferences.

I like the artistic aspect of figure skating and with or without the black sweats he hasn’t moved me lol.., Anyway he is very talented and will get his gold. Good for him and I’m proud of Team USA and the skills they exhibit.

Quote from kiwijoon

Nathans outfits are as boring as his programs, figure skating is a visual sport and the outfits are a piece of that

Also nathan, im sure the lgbt skaters who have been cut from shows and underscored once outed really sympathize with how your homophobic friends think figure skating is a gay sport and you need to make it more macsuline

Esp considering how more feminine skaters are undervalued and underscored, his comments really rub the wrong way.
