This guy is the best Turkish PR in a generation
I like cats; I consider myself a cat fan.
Unimpressed Cat says "why isn't your medal gold, Yusuf?" -_-
He may or may not be about to shoot that cat
Well, he is Turkish. It stands to reason he has a cat.
Anything to distract you from the fact your country has gone back 200 years under Erdogan and turned into an autocratic rogue state, right?
I am not Turkish. Please don’t assume. I was just celebrating the fact Turkish people love cats. Why do you have to be so negative about every one?
"Rogue state" is such an interesting term. Saudi Arabia is not a rogue state, but Tuareg rebels are not a state at all. Iran is a rogue state, but Pakistan is not.
"Autocratic" is interesting too. Turkey before Turgut Özal had military as its supreme power, as that military had constitutional right to just disband any government they didn't like. So it was a legal junta rule allowing some democratic appearance.
In terms of being fascist and genocidal Turkey under Erdogan hasn't changed one bit to the worse. I'd argue it's possibly became better, not worse in that regard. Even despite their participation in Artsakh.
It has become more corrupt, maybe. But they had a period of terrific growth of both economy and population (which has abruptly slowed down), that tends to make corruption more visible.
"200 years" is funny too. I take it the Red Sultan or the Young Turks or Kemal himself were less "rogue" or less "autocratic" than Erdogan?
Typical Western ignorance, when they praise Kemal who is basically a Turkish version of Heidrich, only more successful. EDIT: for example
Even the cat looks like he could olympically casually shoot at you.
I didn’t care or know who he was …
But now? I’m cheering.
I’ll cheer for anyone who posts their cat photos.
He's the guy from the anime gun memes
I realize this. My not-caring has to do more with … Olympics. Broadly speaking, i find sports in general to be very much boring.
Now if they brought robotics into the fold I’d be all in.
But I’ll cheer a bit for this guy cuz he dropped a cat photo. Maybe we’ll get more.
(for example the FIRST league, or maybe battle bots style fights,)
There’s too many pictures of this guy, but I’ll allow this. Cute kitty.
He looks like Eugene Levy, that guy who plays the dad in every teen comedy film.
So he's our new king now ay?
For just a few weeks until he follows the Turkish guy going viral path that Salt Bae took.
Yeah, but we will have 4 new kings by then
Cat is adorable.
It’s like he’s taking a picture with himself as a cat.
They look alike in some odd way.
Same as with partners, loved pets often look alike.
But is the cat a crack shot too?
This guy is going to end up having a beer with Hide the Pain Harold.
I'm so sick of this guy. Also what's with the assumption he's worth celebrating, there are plenty of crappy people out there, and this middle age Turkish man who likes sports shooting could indeed be one of them.
Winning an Olympic medal isn't a guarantee if having a winning personality or even being a good person. So can we just stop.
At least give the Gold medal winner a bit more credit.
I'm just sick of seeing this guy everywhere.
Take a break from the internet and touch grass ffs.
Who shit on your parade
Winning an Olympic medal isn't a guarantee [of] having a winning personality or even being a good person.
But he also has a cat.
