The controversy surrounding Benidorm Fest has been translated into a brutal attack via social media against the winner Chanel Terrero, who has decided close your twitter account and has remembered that behind the screens, there are people with feelings.
And it is that, after being the winner of the contest to choose who will represent Spain in Eurovision 2022, the artist has received all kinds of negative comments and even insults on the networks. A harassment before which he has decided to delete his Twitter account. “For all the ‘hate’ that I am receiving”, as she herself has explained.
“Behind the screens there are human beings, we are people“, The singer said in statements to the press. “We have feelings,” insisted Chanel, who has claimed that “no one should get personal.”
“Many times we do not pay attention to mental health, we take it for granted and it is very important,” warns the clinical psychologist Amaya Terrón, who explains that “many professional careers have collapsed due to psychological issues“.
A harassment that also suffered Manuel Navarro, who represented Spain in 2017 at Eurovision. “I survived the ‘hate’,” the artist recently stated, recalling how, after receiving zero points at the festival, he heard “shrieks of happiness” or “Manel, fuck you.” “I received death threats, they spat on me on the street, I would go out partying and they would throw ice at me,” he recalled.
A hate through social networks that also received Luna, the aid worker whose image hugging a migrant on the Ceuta coast went viral and for which she received an enormous number of sexist and racist messages, to the point that social networks were deleted.
In this sense, Terrón affirms that the ‘haters’ “go for easy targets” and warns: “The more they see that you are a person who reacts, the more they will go for you“. Hate in networks, in short, is fought by ignoring it, because hate knows a lot about ignorance.
