ugghhh EBU refusing to let Zelenskyi speak at the Ukrainian Eurovision finale because "it would be against the rules because Eurovision is apolitical uwu" like. EBU. Girl. You do understand that refusing to let him speak there is a political act in and of itfself right???? Do you think you kicked Russia out for the lols??? The 1st semifinal's show with all the text messages on the screen was just a fancy visual??? The pride flags in the audience not a political statement in support of LGBTQ+ rights??? lmao please. apolitical my ass

#eurovision #esc 2023 #eurovision 2023 #eurovision song contest #not to even mention all the other years #like idk. hosting in israel and banning all palestinian flags but letting israel use those territories in its postcards.#letting russia put up a tank and the red-army choir on stage when they hosted.#why did camilla and charles get a cameo in the opening video but zelenskyi can't show up????? ukraine WON #i'm so annoyed at the hypocrisy #besides deciding what counts as apolotical and what doesn't is also a political act #so like--------#ugggghhhhhh #i just watched a video essay about the politics in eurovision so it annoys me extra #because i just had so many examples of politics in esc pointed out and now they're again like "esc being apolitical is a cornerstone uwu''#no the fuck it's not #ughhh
