I finally remembered why this part was familiar... The questionable comment doesn't belong to that Twitter user, the tweet was actually protesting it:

Don't they pay their translators?

While fans translate everything to the best of their ability to make sure nothing gets lost in translation for free :7938863:

Telling fans to retweet this is tacky, and the cynic in me thinks they are even exploiting non-English-speaking fans... Getting them to engage with the nice sounding, simply worded tweet, while the clip is lazy and inaccurate. Really feels like PC Olympics content that was barely refreshed with new photos.

About the CBC. There's something, I , as a Canadian, have been really surprised by since I became a Yuzu fan on the internet, and that is the level of sheer anger and hatred directed by non-English-speaking fans towards the CBC. I watch the CBC for sports all the time, and their coverage, while often held back by their lack of money (because they are government-funded), has always been positive, honest, straightforward, and as complete as they can make it. They're doing a really big, really difficult job with not enough money, staff or resources. And they don't just cover sports; they're a full network with  many, many responsibilities. They cover everything from local village news in the remote North to international wars and everything in between. 

 

They may not be perfect in their coverage of Yuzuru, but they are doing their best. They do not hate him; in fact he gets remarkably positive coverage from them (probably due to Kurt being a fan), and they do not try to diss him or put him down. I have seen so many posts by foreign fans knocking the CBC down because they didn't like the coverage, but not one of those people ever stops to consider that maybe their translation is bad, and that they are not correctly understanding what the CBC has said. Or they fail to realize that the CBC is, first and foremost, a news organization - they have to report the truth, even when said truth may be inconvenient for some. 

 

 It profoundly hurts me that the CBC, a gem of Canadian life, part of the fabric of Canada, gets ripped to shreds over nothing, when they don't deserve it. 

 

As for this piece about Yuzu's fans, and the retweet thing: the CBC was being complimentary. They didn't have to do a piece on Yuzu's fans at all, they could have ignored their existence. But instead, they noticed that Yuzu's fans are an interesting news story on their own, and decided to interview some of them. There was no insult or mockery in any of the coverage; it was a gentle and kindly-worded article that I found sweet and interesting. Because it was intended to be sweet and interesting. 

 

Those who are offended by this, that is your choice,  but there is nothing in this coverage to take offense at. It was NOT meant that way. 

 

AS for the twitter post/ retweet: Either RT or don't, your choice. But don't think it was some cynical cheap trick to take advantage of fans for fame. The CBC has far better things to do, than that.

 

As a Canadian Yuzu fan, I'm very offended by how many non-Canadians hate my beloved CBC over nothing.

 

Please stop bashing them. 

 

Thank you.

Yuzu is the most balletic of the top skaters. Just look at the arch of his back while skating. The arabesque leap is beautiful (and an actual ballet move). He just doesn't incorporate ballet moves for the sake of it, and he doesn't come off nearly as stiff in the upper body (by choice), but his carriage, lines, and the absolute control he has of his body from his toes to his fingertips speaks to the aspects of ballet that matter for me in figure skating, anyway.

I was looking at his Ina Bauer the other day and wondered how many ballet dancers envy his turn out. It's amazing. Yuzu could easily be a dancer, for sure.

Sorry about my previous comment and my judgement is merely subjective. Already got rid off them. I don't mean to offend you. I am so sorry!
