Over two years ago, Caroline Flack was hounded by the press and media which ultimately led to her taking her own life, and it seems like us as a society haven't learnt since.
In the early 2010's, the same situation happened with the great Amy Winehouse, she was hounded by the media which led her down a spiral that she was unable to recover, resulting in her major anxiety issues and her eventual overdose that cost her a future, the media and the press destroy lives and this is an issue that needs addressing and not treating people like trash should be something that is engrained into our society, not the other way around.
I love Eurovision, but there is no hiding that the community is toxic, it's a toxic pile of waste where if you express an opinion people disagree with, you will be hounded. In January this year Chanel won Benidorm Fest with the song "SloMo". This wasn't the song Spain wanted, but ultimately it was the song that won and will be going to Turin in May, and when I tell you about the amount of vile comments towards Chanel you wouldn't believe me. It was astronomically bad!
She received many death threats, many people calling for her disqualification and many just screaming obsolete, disgusting comments. Social media is a cesspit where people will spout to #BeKind, and then do the complete opposite. Everyone, and I mean everyone, are hypocrites in this regard and must learn that this is not a way to treat someone, online or not, period. This should be a crime and anyone who does this should be punished and sent to prison, end of.
We shouldn't live in a society where this is accepted, you're allowed an opinion but you are certainly not allowed to take advantage and knock others because of your opinion, this can be extremely damaging for someone's mental health. I've been a mental health advocate for three years now and this is also the third year I'm making this blog this situation isn't getting any better, it's getting way worse and something needs to happen and change need to be made.
