“Levante anorexic”, “Romina Falconi fat”, “Jolanda Renga ugly and recommended”: the hatred after Pride has no boundaries
Pride means pride. Pride in being who you are and being able to be it proudly. In reality, for some of the “keyboard sheep” (because lions are proud, regal, courageous and do not hide behind a monitor or a nickname that often begins with “User”), the Milano Pride was just an opportunity to shoot at zero, who knows with what investiture of authority, on those who had the courage and pride to get on a stage in front of thousands of people and express themselves. And be seen.
And so suddenly Levante was labeled by some web users as “anorexic” just because she was thin. "Comments on other people's bodies are nothing more than the manifestation of the misery that we carry inside. Talking about my body as that of an anorexic person, with the ease with which some people have done in recent days, is not only crazy for the falsity of the fact but it is very serious for those who really suffer from it and read your words of disgust" commented the singer-songwriter.
“The earth will soon break through… because of the weight,” was the comment of the supposed Adone of the web to a video on Instagram of the performance of the singer-songwriter Romina Falconi at the Pride in Milan. “But Mr. Maurizio, I am 1.53 meters tall and weigh 54 kilos,” joked the Roman artist, certainly demonstrating that she has an intellectual weight much greater than that of the user who typed the comment in question. “I have tried to love myself all my life. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don’t. People who get attached to the weight of others are people who in life are destined to get attached to the ca… ”.
Up to this point we have talked about famous artists who have been on stage for decades. About women with “broad shoulders”. And this wave of hatred towards them already makes you shudder. Now here is a case that makes you feel nauseous rather than shivering. I posted a video on my TikTok profile that portrays Ambra Angiolini and her daughter Jolanda Renga while on the stage of the Milano Pride they sing “T'appartengo” , an iconic success by Ambra herself.
“Now all the children of singers all want to be singers”, “Ambra's daughter may not be beautiful but she is sweet and simple. She will have taken on the character of her father who seems like a very humble person”, “Jolanda, I recommend you do not become a singer or even an actress”, “I see that the daughter is shy, not like her mother at her age”, “But why doesn't she sing some of her father's masterpieces”, “And opportunities always go to the children”, “Not exactly in tune”, “Renga has left the group”: these are just some of the comments under that video. Leaving aside the often halting Italian of those who allow themselves to insult others but perhaps should take care of reading a couple of grammar books, the content of these comments is disarming. Many users have expressed themselves respecting the subjects of the video, let's be clear. However, unmotivated insults unfortunately still hurt today. A lot. More than those who lighten their heavy day by writing them can even remotely imagine.
Jolanda Renga is just over twenty years old and from the stage of the Pride she spread a message of peace together with her mother, whose eyes shone with pride at seeing her there, saying "I am nobody". And it is precisely here that the short circuit is created: the haters, yes, they are nobody and they want to drag, by denigrating them, the objects of their envy into the spiral of being nobody.
