I honestly don't think Ilya does anything cancellable, he's just a ratfuck on the ice which makes hating him even more annoying bc he's such an aggressive asshole who lovessss taunting fans of opposing teams, loves firing back on social media, and LOVES being a cocky shit in the press but he never says or does anything politically incorrect so hating him too much just makes you look weird.

and I don't think that ilya is like Uniquely on top of current social issues, I just think that he's smart and knows when he should or shouldn't run his mouth. he'd never say anything outwardly discriminatory to any particular group, he'd make sure he knows what a word means before using it so if it's offensive he just avoids it, and kind of parrots the same "hockey is for everyone" talking points if he's ever pressed. he'd just be buttoned up abt that sort of stuff.

people probably try to cancel him via nhl follow tracker hook up hunting but that's a non-issue so it never goes anywhere.
