Were you boycotting #Eurovision 2024 or otherwise not watching it? Do you want a clearer idea of how much of a shitshow it was?

Me, with a lot of aid from my friends, including @Siph, piece together a timeline of reports of where things went wrong to build up an early picture (it's still a developing story) of what a shitshow it was and how EBU willfully damaged the wellbeing and safety of artists, reporters and others at the show.

A non-exhaustive list of things that happened during Eurovision 2024

If you were boycotting or otherwise not watching Eurovision this year, it was a fucking disaster behind the scenes, and a miserable experience for many artists participating.

A really graphic example was the "Have you ever thought that by being here, you bring risk and danger to other participants?"

It's actually scary how many folks on #mastodon don't see a problem there. Mostly dudes, btw.

Eden Golan displayed incredible bravery, singing her song flawlessly despite being surrounded by a sea of hate. She dedicated her participation to the hostages.

The EBU apparently didn’t allow the Israeli presenter to wear a yellow ribbon pin. Because reminding the world of the hostages, not just Israeli but of many nationalities, is “political.” Just like mourning the massacre at a music festival is “political,” so the original Israeli song lyrics were disqualified. The world is working hard and actively to promote a collective amnesia of the 7 October pogrom. It has been 219 days. #BringThemHome #BringThemHomeNow #Israel #Eurovision

Good for her. Beautiful, talented, and courageous.

"Eden Golan faces mixed reactions performing 'Hurricane' at Eurovision, referencing the October 7 massacre, amid cheers and boos, she remains composed."

"Facing intense hostility at Eurovision, Eden Golan's every instinct might have been to turn and run. Instead she soared, and set an example many Israelis may have to emulate in the months ahead"

⚠️🔴Tras seite meses de #genocidio y más de 15.000 niños asesinados se le permite a #Israel izar su bandera manchada de sangre en la #EUROVISIÓN.

#Eurovision es cómplice del #GENOCIDIO y el #APARTHIED.

So the #EBU is trigger-happy about good manners and disqualifying the #Netherlands from the #Eurovision for, we can only assume, something like "I told you not to f****ing film me you slag" -Joost Klein-, whereas squeeky clean #genocide by #Israel is welcome with open arms, because you know, non-political innit! https://news.sky.com/story/eurovision-2024-netherlands-entrant-joost-klein-questioned-by-police-over-incident-dutch-media-reports-13133294
