Austria has some “post-feminist” duet song about the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe and the music industry somehow (yes, really), but my favourite ridiculous thing so far is Poland selecting a literal Insta thot who won Next Top Model, evidently can’t really sing, and is hated by all the fags because she is “homophobic and classist/elitist”, lol…
Ah, Eurotrash…
Australia didn’t even let people vote for our entry this year, because the West Australian state government paid to get a particular entry the right to represent the whole country, lol…
Oh, and the singer is an immigration lawyer, in “real life”, because of course he is…
Wack.
Liverpool. Football, right?
Here is it widely said that only homosexuals watch Eurovision to begin with. Which is why you get such freakshows as that Austrian guy, which is a freakshow even by Austrian standards.
It's being held in Liverpool ("on behalf of Ukraine", because the UK came second). I don't know how you didn't know this, but, notwithstanding, I would have thought it was clear that was what I meant.
I'm not criticizing people who do like it. Before it turned wholly degenerate, I didn't mind watching it, though I wouldn't turn it on of my own accord.
Yeah, that’s said here, too.
I got into it when I was in Germany in 2010, where it is not seen that way, so much, and have watched it on and off since then…
I'm pretty sure Krauts view it the same way. You might have been in some bad circles. Immigrants also tend to watch it (at least before it became a total freakshow) because they do not think in such terms.
The German subreddit is watching it, so you are correct that soy & fags watch it here. And old grandmas - but they don't like the homo acts.
I was 15. At a party. I really just didn't care that much about "only gays like this". It was just an excuse to get drunk and have fun.
I wouldn't say they were a "bad circle". We were kids.
Now, I just watch it because why the fuck not. I don't go out of my way to do so, but I do enjoy it occasionally.
Is some of it extremely faggy..? Sure. But the vast majority of Eastern European countries don't go in with that shit, and even Spain and France usually send a hot chick or two, every few years, so eh.
I really don't care what other people think about it. I dislike capeshit, but other people clearly enjoy it, and I don't feel the need to rain on their parade (these days), so... This is just something I sometimes enjoy.
