Obviously there's going to be some hardheaded fucks out there so I'm just going to say this and leave it at that: If all of you were in Olly's place, you would have done the same thing he did.

Olly Alexander is everything wrong with queer activism right now. "Let's memorialise terrible things that happened in the past but when there are queer people dying of genocide right now, risking my career is too much to ask for."

If you can't stand against injustice in the present, shut the fuck up about queer history. You have no claim on it. Those battles were fought by people far less selfish than you.

Blame the EBU/Martin Osterdahl because that's exactly what they would have wanted.

Before any of y'all could begin to dunk on Olly, may I remind you all that Israel once urged the BBC to pull out Olly Alexander for petitioning against Israel's participation in Eurovision since last year.

I get what Queers for Palestine is urging him to do but to put him in the pedestal ALONE like that and not call out for all the other artists (or at least the other LGBTQ artist) is just so infuriating. And the worst part of it is, whatever he does will not be enough for them. He already release a statement and it wasn't enough for them (it had likely gone through many revisions in order to get past the BBC). Had he remained silent, people would start accusing of of being complicit despite the fact he's been vocally pro-Palestine from the beginning.

Also, I feel like people are not getting the financial and legal consequences of him or any of the other artist just withdrawing all willy-nilly especially since they are all under contract with the broadcasters*. Like, some of them might be working part-time job, some like Silia are still in High School, some literally have music as their only source of income and we all know that's not enough to cover the legal fees and potential lawsuits that would entail. Also, there's a huge risk of being blacklisted, not only in the broadcaster from ever returning to the song contest, but also in the entire music industry, which is already hard to enter/make it. On top that, poorer countries like Albania or Moldova just couldn't afford to do that and jeopardize everything.

It's literally just impossible to win.

This whole mess is a lose-lose situation where nobody but Israel wins. Like, if they do withdraw, that's exactly what Israel wants because less competition for them. But if they compete, that's also what Israel wants because it meant validation of them being there even thought everyone wanted them gone.

All and all, this is literally the EBU's fault by allowing Israel compete in the first place. They literally created a impossible situation where, one way or another, the artist will be thrown under the bus.

Tl:dr... BLAME THE EBU, NOT OLLY!

Edit: * I just really need to put the one out there.

Just a reminder that this statement also applies to Israel and their crimes against humanity. They should have been banned from the contest in the first place the moment everything went to hell.

As a Eurovision fan who graduated from International Studies and always wanted to make a thesis about pop culture's role in International Relations, I think banning Russia from the competition is a step in the right direction.

I mean, if Russia stays in Eurovision and uses it as a soft power tool to clean their image, they can sweep the invasion of Ukraine under the rug while they sing songs about peace and distract the European viewing public away from it. If that was taken away, they can't exactly do just that and they no longer have the mean to do damage control over it. People can still call out Russia and whatever happens next, Russia can't hide away from it as people will be less distracted and be more aware of their actions.

Of course, I think this goes beyond Eurovision, they'll probably need to be banned from the Olympics and other sporting and non-sporting events and have their shows from foreign platforms like Netflix removed since it can play a part in soft power politics.

Now, more than ever, we need to stand up for Ukraine. No one wanted this war, not even the Russians themselves, only P*tin wanted this. It's time for the EBU to act up and ban Russia from Eurovision for a while

Not me realizing Painting Flowers by All Time Low from the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack is also a perfect metaphor song for Apollo and Hyacinthus because Apollo "lost his head" at the sight of Hyacinthus getting hit with a frisbee, turned Hyacinthus in a flower, and painted on the petals, and then Hyacinthus gets revived and is brought back to Apollo as if his death was just a bad dream. In this essay I-

120,000 armenians are currently being driven from nagorno-karabakh, which they've called home for over 2,000 years, by azerbaijan. they are going to armenia, a small, poor country without international backing. please donate to the armenian food bank, a non-profit operating in yerevan that is providing incoming displaced persons with food, clothes, and hygienic goods. i personally know people involved and i can tell you that your money will be put to good use
