I see people hoping HBO or a US company takes over Heated Rivalry next season so it has a bigger budget & is Emmy-eligible, so I’d like to emphasize Jacob Tierney’s answer re: what would have happened if it had been made by a US company, based on what was said to him when he was pitching it.

Since there seems to be files getting deleted from the Epstein release, I've made all four dataset zip files available for download. These are the files as they were originally released. (Downloaded within minutes of them being made public)

If this ends up coming to light, I just want to remind you that Sean Avery is an abuser. And it would be a VERY CURIOUS coincidence if he does indeed come out when Heated Rivary is number one on HBO and you can't buy the books in stores. And he co-wrote a hockey romance that flopped. So interesting!

Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”
like damn, I WISH a high profile player smooching his boyfriend on the ice after a Stanley Cup victory would for real magically fix the 100+ years of entrenched toxic masculinity in hockey! But that's not how real life works. Sorry.

Just read this whole-ass thread please, folks. Y'all know I love Heated Rivalry. I've also spent a lot of time embedded in IRL men's hockey culture and just 10000% everything Alex is saying. Heated Rivalry is ROMANCE GENRE FICTION, I.E. FANTASY.

Can we talk about how the Heated Rivalry community is making a safe space for queer Russians? I am so intrigued because it’s not a demographic we ever get to hear from and it is making them feel seen 🥰 and safe for once.
