Translation: What a shitshow. This years Eurovision has gone to hell. And it's primarily the EBU's fault.
Also, excerpt from the same article:
Throughout the course of the Eurovision Song Contest, the EBU has acted as if they live in a parallel universe. Eurovision is one thing, the world outside something else. The EBU has stuck its head in the sand. Shoved the problem under the rug. Held their hands over their ears and shouted LALALALALA. They appear to have done everything they can to pretend it's possible to hold an apolitical event in a world that's on fire. We have come together to be "united by music", they say, but the sharpshooters on Malmö's rooftops have nothing to do with us!
In its struggle to remain apolitical, the EBU has become like a small fascist state in itself, where the artists' space for expression and action has been reduced as much as the undergarments of the Spanish dancers.
It is reprehensible.
Guys I think Falsettos has become my new hyperfixation.
Like I cannot go a day without thinking about the complexities of Marvin's internalized homophobia and all the reasons for why he was an asshole.
I can't stop thinking about the little things in the proshot like Marvin worriedly saying "what?!" after Whizzer said that he "needs a man" or Marvin trying to say "Baby I'm sorry" after hitting Trina.
I can't stop thinking about Marvin's development with him becoming more accepting of his sexuality and admitting his love to Whizzer and even calling him "baby" (I cannot tell the amount of times I watched that moment guys 😭) and Marvin making friends with Cordelia and Charlotte as a way to show him getting over his misogyny and no longer just trying to fake romantic relationships with women.
I can't stop thinking about how it was implied that Marvin also passed of aids soon after and how devastating that must be for the tight knit family.
I can't stop thinking about the idea of Cordelia and Charlotte finally getting married when it became legal and everyone being happy and sad because Marvin and Whizzer should've also gotten to this point goddamn it.
I usually don't feel this emotional about the stuff I watch but omg you guys I haven't felt this way since I watched Nimona 😭
one of my favorite things on taskmaster is when one of the contestants go "well, i can't just do [x]. that would be stupid" and then it immediately cuts to another contestant doing that. "i can't just chuck it, that would never work!" well taskman mcdumbass over here is tossing that bitch immediately. it sadly plonks to the ground, completely ineffectual. what did you think would happen. amazing. high art
