Putin launches gay-free Eurovision rival

[quote]Following Russia's ban from competing in Eurovision in 2022 after the country's invasion of Ukraine, Putin has ordered the return of Intervision, a Soviet-era singing competition that last took place more than 40 years ago.

[quote]Do not expect any bearded drag queens, outrageous wigs, sequinned costumes or pride flags. Plans for the rebooted contest stress a commitment to “traditional universal, spiritual, and family values,” making it clear that this is Russia’s ideological counter-programming to the flamboyant pop extravaganza that is Eurovision. Russian senator, Liliya Gumerova, told state media that Intervision would "promote real music" and reject "fake values that are alien to any normal person."

This is what GenZ and trannies have brought. I don’t fucking blame Russia. They don’t want anything to do with what’s become an absolute freak fest.

Omg, is that what Trump meant by "he offered me a great deal" the other day? Make Melania an Intervision judge?

Everything in Russia is so reactionary and second rate. I really feel for their citizens, the ones that are sober enough to know what’s going on anyway.

Whatever keeps those beet-eating cirrhosis cases away from the real contest.

I hope that Valentina Petrenko and her Marge Simpson hair will be on the jury.

I imagine the Russians with resources use a VPN to stream the real Eurovision.
