#Backlash

Der Artikel von Andrea Böhm thematisiert den strategisch motivierten Backlash gegen LGBTQ-Rechte, der von rechten Parteien und christlichem Fundamentalismus angeheizt wird, und beleuchtet gleichzeitig den wachsenden Widerstand in verschiedenen Ländern, der zeigt, dass trotz der Bedrohungen die LGBTQ-Community entschlossen bleibt und sich organisiert, um für ihre Rechte zu kämpfen. #LGBTQRechte #QueererWiderstand #Pride

LGBTQ-Rechte: Der queere Widerstand gegen den Backlash

🚨 TUTORIAL | Como denunciar as publicações discriminatórias contra o BTS à HYBE A HYBE disponibiliza um canal oficial para que fãs denunciem conteúdos que ataquem seus artistas. Se você deseja ajudar, siga o passo a passo abaixo. 1️⃣ Acesse o site 🔗 https://t.co/Fg3VmnVZx5 2️⃣ Selecione as opções - Category BIG HIT MUSIC BTS - Type Report a malicious post Slander/Profanity 3️⃣ Preencha os campos - Title Discriminatory and Xenophobic Statements Contents (texto abaixo, em inglês) Dear HYBE Artist Protection Team, I would like to formally report a recent case of public discrimination and hateful speech directed at BTS by Brazilian influencer Pietra Bertolazzi. Following BTS' performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Closing Ceremony, she publicly referred to the members as "effeminate men," "vain," and said they caused her "second-hand embarrassment." She also stated that she did not know who they were and did not want to know, while claiming that their influence on today's generation was "serious" and harmful. After receiving criticism, instead of retracting her comments, she continued posting additional content reinforcing her statements. She compared BTS and K-pop to the decline of masculinity, portrayed them as symbols of cultural decay, and dismissed the positive impact their music has had on millions of people worldwide. She also publicly responded to fans by claiming that BTS promotes a distorted view of men and encouraged people to stop "idolizing men," framing the group as a negative influence. These statements go beyond personal opinion about music. They rely on harmful stereotypes regarding gender expression, reinforce prejudice against Asian male artists, and contribute to xenophobic and discriminatory narratives that have historically targeted Korean and East Asian entertainers. The controversy has received significant media attention in Brazil, with national news outlets covering both her statements and the widespread backlash from fans. Fan communities have also issued public statements condemning the discriminatory nature of her comments. As BTS has repeatedly faced prejudice based on their appearance, culture, and ethnicity throughout their career, we believe this situation deserves attention from HYBE's Artist Protection team. We respectfully ask that this incident be documented and reviewed, and that appropriate measures be considered to protect BTS from discriminatory attacks and harmful stereotypes. 4️⃣ Escolha a rede social Em Posting Channel, selecione: Instagram 5️⃣ Adicione o link Cole o link da publicação denunciada. https://t.co/qHjuiZgVZ7 6️⃣ Data da publicação Preencha: 2026.07.20 7️⃣ Autor da publicação Pietra Bertolazzi 8️⃣ URL do perfil https://t.co/iRU8A2tPtL 9️⃣ Anexe as provas Adicione capturas de tela das publicações e stories. 🔟 Confirme Marque a caixa: ☑️ I confirm that this report is truthful and contains no false or fabricated information Depois clique em Submit.

Man hat mit dem riesen Backlash nicht gerechnet. Das sagt so unglaublich viel über den aktuellen Zustand der CDU aus. Darüber, wie alle in ihrer eigenen Realität leben und denken, sie könnten tun und lassen was sie wollen! Crazy! https://t.co/uNJjTKVJZk #CDU #Politik #Vorurteile

One could laugh at this misunderstanding, if it weren't part of a larger societal backlash, in which attempts are made to define normality exclusively again and to exclude people. My response to the FAZ comment in the SZ. (translated)

In his article for The Economist, Glen Weyl argues that Silicon Valley must embrace moral purpose and bridge the gap between technology and religion to navigate the uncertainties posed by AI, suggesting that a partnership with religious traditions could provide stability, legitimacy, and a means to avoid social backlash, particularly in a geopolitical context where devout populations are wary of automated atheism. #Technologie #Religie #AI
