Is the contest usually this big of a shit show? I never hear anything about it other than it’s going on until this year where it seems that Israel is being an annoying brat and pissing off every contestant and fan for no reason lol
It's always been a joke. Last time Ukraine pity won and praised Azov during their acceptance speech
Not even trying not to look like a nazi state.
Nope. This year's was particularly shitty. Abuse allegations, a disqualification, an announcer (?) refusing to even say Isntrael's name to award them points, and a contestant getting booed off stage.
Also people taking about vote manipulations but those are rumors atm.
I mean, genocide is an extraordinary crime, extraordinary treatment of the genocidaire is par for the course. Russia and Belorussia got booted out for much less...
Usually it's mild local controversies, but basically everyone know it's in fact a political popularity contest, and the one where the votes are also set up, so it become like this when there is international turmoil in Europe.
Think of it as a milder version of: "r/Europe: a musical"
Evidence that Reddit was used for vote manipulation for Israel.
Respect for any anti-zionist jew, going against the flow of zionazism must be brutal.
What a godawful subreddit.
