I understand that and agree that you can revoke consent whenever you want but she did say that she would’ve deleted the video had someone messaged her privately 🤷🏽‍♀️ when you’re getting flown out and given a jersey by the actual team…it’s probably really hard to see where the line is. I understand her anger and I understand that it’s totally fine to decide “wait I don’t like this” but like When the wife is calling him the panty dropper of tiktok I get why she’d make the comments she did. It rubs me the wrong way to say “use common sense” because if your own wife is playing into it…then isn’t “common sense” to also continue to play into it for notoriety? Like she’s on tiktok for a reason and she was getting views with support from the team and the specific player’s wife.

[@celinay]

The way people lack empathy is ASTOUNDING. All kiera had to do was think how uncomfortable itd be if a man she had 0 interest in was shouting similar things to her in public.

The creator is using this as an excuse, that they posted “hot” videos of the players so she did nothing wrong but there is a BIG difference between the team’s TikTok posting thirst traps and showing off that their players are attractive and posting a video saying how you want to do explicit things to a specific person. Again with the same “if a man did this” argument, but if a woman posts a bikini pic and wants to show off her body and that she feels attractive, it doesn’t mean she wants to be DMed what somebody wants to do to her because it’s unsolicited, therefore it’s sexual harassment - I think these videos should be treated the same.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THIS HEAD WITH THIS ONE FRRR. I'm about to leave my thoughts on this just because I really enjoyed the upload, but it's going to be very long so beware: I feel like BookTok is definitely a slippery slope as far as the sm*t. It's okay when it's a healthy intake but when it gets to the point where you can't read a book without s*x and it's obsessive, that's definitely concerning. That's why 29:57 was so accurate to me because some people are sm*t addicted and are losing a grip on reality. If you see a real human being and athletes only through a sexual lens based on the type of content you've been consuming that's definitely a problem. I have always been so against sexualizing people online (i.e the whole "what color is it, there's a slight vein at 9,2, bubblegum pink, till my back breaks" etc, etc) because it's replaced human decency and kind compliments with sexual innuendos that just feel so gross to me, especially when it's not on inherently sexual videos, they just say that to a person they're attracted to, warranted or not (though it never really is warranted). Why are you guys so okay with talking about people's bodies like that? So when it gets to the point where you can't make distinctions between online fantasies and real human beings with feelings who probably don't want to be catcalled on a day to day basis, that's where a thick line needs to be drawn. It's perfectly okay with fictional characters that have been designed and written to be catered to their female audience, whether it's romantically or otherwise, but people? Nah. I also agree that there is definitely a double standard between men and women being sexually harassed because y'all WOULD NOT let that fly if some men did that to a female athlete. The original video that that Booktoker (idk what to call them) made was disgusting to me (6:15). Even if "it's not serious", or "everyone on tiktok does it.", those types of sexual videos should never be directed at people who are just living their lives. Like what happened to "He's handsome/cute"? What happened to normal compliments that aren't heavily sexual or having to do with peoples bodies? I just have a very personal gripe with those types of people and their fans that defend that immoral behavior and hype it up to the point where they feel like it's okay to do those things. Like was it necessary to talk about your "holes" ON A PUBLIC FORUM LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO MORALITY Y'ALL... I also have a personal problem with her using the race-card (22:17) as a POC because it had nothing to do with her being black...at all. It was about her actions, and Alex's wife didn't seem to have any racists intentions she just wanted people to leave her and her family alone. Kierra shouldn't be exempt from criticism just because of her skin tone. I completely understand Alex's wife finding it funny or relatable at first (because ofc she can understand being attracted to her own husband!!) until it escalated and had this snowball effect that interacted with their daily lives. If you're catcalling or yelling at him or leaving gross comments on either of their Instagram (especially on posts with their literal CHILD), that's when you need to seek help. It is such basic knowledge that consent can be revoked as things progress. I do agree with Kierra though as far as businesses using BookTok or other interests for their marketing and feeding into it, then dropping it when it no longer serves them. That was dangerous and unprofessional in the first place, especially if the players didn't consent to that thirst trappy type content being released. "BookTok did you like this one? 😏" No. Just...ew. Last take on this I swear, but @thoughtswgracie was so intolerable to me. Just because you are a public influencer does not mean that sexual/hateful comments should be normalized. It should be expected as that happens to most people, but the narrative that you should deal with it, that's what happens and you're not allowed to complain, is dangerous in itself because you're telling people not to speak up for themselves and set boundaries. "Do you see me complaining?" is a weird take because everyone has a different tolerance for those kinds of comments and are ALLOWED to not like that and act against it. Anyways, amazing video, and have a good day to everyone who read this mini essay LMAOO

You’re exactly right, this is coomer behavior. I’ve known and heard stories about men so deep into porn addiction that they view women as just sex objects, which results in stalking, harassment, and assault. While I do read smut I do it sparingly and still view these men as people, but I can’t imagine reading it nearly everyday in every book I buy, to the point where I can’t enjoy anything unless it has explicit content in it. Overall porn addiction needs to be talked about more, but people also need to realize it’s more than just men doing it.

As a millennial, I really hate to pull the "younger generation" speech but the younger generation needs to really disconnect tiktok virality/online follower count from justification. The internet by design creates echo chambers, so if someone who is affected by your content speaks out, LISTEN to them. Online clout is not a green card to continue saying whatever the fuck you want.

I'm glad someone is talking about this, I was unaware of this booktok drama, but I left the hockey "fandom" back in the day on Tumblr because the amount of people who were taking below the waist and zoomed in photos of Sidney Crosby's butt, the sexual harassment they were committing by doing that and talking about him the way they did, I completely checked out. Watch and see if a fellow woman was objectified like that, they'd be calling Kierra and other women creeps like they should be.

[@PelloTap]

I feel like these people fail to understand that consent can be withdrawn at any time. You can be comfortable with something at one point in time, and then uncomfortable in another. Personally, I don't participate in booktok anymore because the real people fics get taken too far and people forget how to distinguish reality.

[@kellybinns2126]

I'm a woman who absolutely adores hockey and genuinely love the sport and yes, I too find some of the players attractive. However, I would never in a million years make the comments this girl has as it is definitely harassment, it's not funny. I'm siding with Wennbergs wife on this one, and yes YOU CAN REVOKE CONSENT!

[@shineonsunfish]

My first thought was exactly what you said about consent, you can withdraw it at any time and women saying the couple was fine with it until they weren’t are giving off big predator energy. Showing up at someone’s workplace is unhinged. Men are allowed to feel vulnerable and exploited, yes the Krakens made an error in judgement assuming the “thirst traps” would remain harmless online (that is based in patriarchy and the assumption that women can’t be sexually violent which is untrue). That doesn’t mean the individual players can’t speak out. The booktok smut obsession is this generations wine mom, camouflaging addiction under a cute name doesn’t make it ok.

[@TheMuufin]

It can all be boiled down to: he said he is unconfortable with this behaviour. Why Is It so hard to hear that and then stop? Literally. What's hard to understand about that. It's basic human decency.

[@sophiekuhn5342]

I work in athletics so it’s really hard for me to imagine being able to objectify hardworking athletes, regardless of gender. It’s touch grass behaviour

[@ellaclarke7076]

I don’t think it’s ‘pick me’ to say it’s not okay to film men stretching and sexualise them. I think it’s completely valid to say that because that is a very uncomfortable unsettling thing to go through for the people being harassed, filmed, sexualised. We shouldn’t be making it okay for women treating men like that just because a lot of men think it’s okay to treat women like that. It blows my mind that people think either way is okay, it’s not it’s gross

[@kiplingwasafurry1108]

The term “pick me” was used for girls who hate on other girls purely to get male validation, but it has become so watered down and is mainly used against women criticizing other girls for legit wrongdoing. The fact that some people see it as “pick me behavior” to call out sexual harassment tells you everything you need to know about those disgusting people.

[@geenachristine15]

As a woman who is a hockey and book fan, I’m so frustrated with the comments Kierra (and other creators) made originally, and also the videos in response to Felicia Wennberg’s statements. You mentioned that you’re not sure if the players can hear the chants… during warmups, if you’re up at the glass, they can hear your conversations. So the girls filming warmups and screaming “crack my back” and making other inappropriate comments are making players uncomfortable for sure. Also, Felicia mentioned in her statement that the OG video was being sent to her and Alex almost daily, so I understand why she’s speaking up “four months later”. Honestly, this whole drama could make it for women who are genuinely fans of the sport since a lot of the toxic male fans have accused us of being “puck bunnies” or “jersey chasers”.

[@sweetstacks3631]

Do these people realize that consent can be withdrawn at any point? This is pathetic. They honestly need to go touch some grass.

[@alg94]

personally, as a Canadian that grew up with hundreds of hockey boys, I don't get the appeal of "hockey romance" or whatever. its just a sport and being obsessed with the players is something that teen girls did not grown women with grown men. they would all sit in the same section of the arena and were called puck bunnies

[@Lovelyclarii]

Same!! To me it's the sport my little cousins played and it's this thing my dad and his friends would occasionally watch, not this weird sexual fantasy

[@Steph489]

Yes, puck bunnies have always been a thing and always will be but I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of them take it to this level of sexual harassment

[@sashapotapova8835]

It's funny bc in this case its a wife getting upset about inappropriate comments about her husband bc people find him attractive so people are calling the wife the "bad guy", but if a husband was getting upset at people for sexualizing his wife the WIFE would ALSO BE BLAMED for being too "provocative" or "allowing this behavior" bc her partner spoke up instead of her.

[@ryannarmachain3210]

There is literally no connection between the kraken supporting her behavior and Felicia being uncomfortable by it. Wenneberg is a professional athlete signed to the Kraken and that’s it. When it comes to his personal life and his family’s life it doesn’t fucking matter that his job supported this. That honestly just looks worse for the krakens social media team and I hope they address this and support and protect their player.

The fact that a person, that person of whom you showed the clip, can call them 'emotional', because they got sexually harrassed is just sad. They act like they asked for it.. so sad to hear this type of speech. Also why is the book tokker that also sexually harassed the hockey player screaming all of the time? It doesn't make the sexual harassment any less harassment.. but maybe thats just my view Love your videos Angelika, thank you ❤

Just to note - if you’re close enough to the glass, the players CAN hear you on the ice. I believe someone told her that and she equated the players to being like animals in a zoo.

[@monswolff]

Something that I think no one really realises is how almost always in these cases, the wives/female partners are the ones who speak out first because male athletes have normalised their sexualization to a really sad point where they probably don't even see an issue unless someone points it out. It's really upsetting how our patriarchal double standard can be so obvious yet it's not seen because admitting to it, makea you guilty of sexual harassment and being a perverted creep. Also, what's the whole thing about them 'attacking a black woman'? Race has nothing to do with this, you are a perverted person for sexualising a real human being, not only on the internet but in real life with other people (including children) surrounding you, your skin colour has absolutely nothing to do with it.

This is straight-up harassment, and even though I have not participated in this, I feel awful all the same since it was my community doing this.
