They run this story every year but it’s really not true. The cardboard beds aren’t meant to prevent fucking, nor could they. They’re just meant to be biodegradable
Well yeah that’s a whole different question. For some reason the Olympics sites are built for the one event and then usually just left to rot, instead of this just being a new hotel that’ll be used for many years (or even just an already existing hotel)
I'm not aware that they're doing this? I'm pretty sure I've read articles about how many free condoms they give out at the athlete's village.
If this is about the cardboard beds, they're just meant to be biodegradable and less impactful. They're perfectly sturdy enough to fuck in. Here's a US rugby player demonstrating in Tokyo: link
It’s not really about fascism. The very intense athletes have rituals and superstitions as well as legitimate health/training regimes that may include refraining from fucking before a game. I mean, fucking will make you tired as hell, so it’s understandable. Parasocial fans want to make sure their favorites have the most advantage. Or perhaps they have $5000 on draft kings in favor of a player and are shitting themselves because said player is exhausted from nutting.
As for the bed thing, those were just speculation and jokes. The olympic village is notorious for being full of sex.
so the anti-sex-bed, despite being a bit of a canard, had the initial legitimacy because there were actually discouraging sex and all other interpersonal contact in the tokyo olympics cause covid was still being taken somewhat seriously
the cardboard bed reappearing is making a rerun circuit, without any context that'd make it seem more legit.
but anyway am i the only one who thinks the cardboard bed-->recyclable thing is ridiculous? like whatever i'm sure they actually are, but in what world is a commodity as simple and reusable as a fucking bedframe something that needs to be recycled? just make normal ones and put them somewhere else when you're finished? its not like they throw the entire games in recyclable buildings so what's this shit about single-use beds? personally i suspect its just a bit cheaper. e: not that much cheaper since apparently 2+ olympic athletes can jump & hump on them but still
