Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper Eurovision specialists Markus Larsson and Tobbe Ek  are letting out unbelievable butt hurt shit towards Finland because Finland didn’t give any televote points to Sweden. They spoke in Aftonbladet’s Schlagerkoll’s podcast titled Sorry, not sorry, Finland and this is what they said:

Finnish people didn’t vote for Loreen because we’re jealous of Sweden and everything they’ve got

Finnish people thought that 10 other songs were better than Loreen, like Lord of The Lost’s song, and this is a crime against Sweden!

-Since we didn’t give any points to Sweden it is just right that we lost because we’ve got a bad attitude (aka  Finnish people can’t decide what they like or don’t like but they must always like all Sweden’s entries no matter what.)

Europe wanted Käärijä to win but you know what? Audience isn’t always right. The jury must stay there to show what the audience needs because they can’t decide themselves.

How Finnish people voted is a proof that jury points can’t be taken away from Eurovision, because again, the audience doesn’t know the best what it wants.

If jury is taken away from Eurovision, it would force Sweden to plan again what kind of songs they can send to Eurovision to maximize their chances for winning (because Europeans are fickle and the audience doesn’t know the best)

-Käärijä is nothing but a partying salad bowl and you know what Finland; Fuck them (a literal quote!)

Also, in other newspaper, Swedish media called Finland as “kingdom’s old Eastern parts”. That’s equal for England calling India as their old South-Asian parts or any other colonialist country calling their prior parts and now independent countries as their own. Very racists and colonialist. I’m horrified to see such remarks just casually thrown out in Swedish media! Come on, Sweden! You’re better than than a racist country! At least you should be! D:

All this and only because people have been genuinely upset and angry that Käärijä didn’t win and televoting meant nothing, but the Swedish media and Eurovision staff is taking it on Finland and blaming it is just us who are upset.

Tell me again how this is just a song contest and I shouldn’t be upset :)))

This year’s Eurovision has been an absolute disaster...
