However, I just thought the song’s message was so naff. He came out as non-binary in November 2023 and released his song about coming out in March. It was all a PR stunt. The juries gave him such an unbeatable score, even though Baby Lasagna came first in the televotes and Nemo, fifth, Nemo still won.

Your videos are amazing and make me feel a lot better as you prove being trans doesn’t make you an overly aggressive person, thank you. My daughter is unsure yet (she’s 15) whether she is straight or not and whilst she’s managed to avoid the crazy indoctrination that the fanatics are forcing I can’t even discuss this if she can hear.

​@Tia-Louisa while that could be true and has happened many times before, I know another reaction to being in highly traumatic situations is acting out. It could be a way of trying to make up for a previous lack of control in one's life, could be a mask used to run away from the trauma, could be a severe mental break, bitterness towards the world around you, it could be many things. Given that she's a female in the music industry, there's also a high chance she's been victimized before, during, or after her rise to fame; we all know there's lots of abusive scum in the entertainment industry. Again, you could be right but I wouldn't be surprised if this behavior is a result of trauma or perhaps narcissistic tendencies mixed with trauma.

I watched with friends, because they wanted to (I haven't watched in a long time) and just thought it was an unusually lackluster show, (especially compared to the last event I saw, which was in Vienna, 2015 I think...) and just loud and screamy and hard on epileptics. 4/5 of the songs were just "wail, wail - red light, blue light - fire lance FIRE WAIL WAIL - dancebeat"

Yeah, so many straight women now identify as queer. Usually they're weirdos who fetishise gay men, drag queens and transness.

the jury is supposed to vote mainly based on singing skill. i perfectly understand why they voted for nemo who sang their difficult song extremely well while also running around. lasagna’s performance was not as flawless to me. the real problem is that the jury just has too much power. it should be changed to something like 33% jury 66% audience. the jury also consist of only 4 ppl (at least here in my country) so just a single person’s opinion affects the jury result a ton.

And that's just examples that popped in my head like in 5 minutes, trust me there were so many more.
