I personally think the most startling thing when researching Qatar’s unworthiness for the World Cup was learning of the treatment of rape victims. Qatar has laws which prohibit sex before marriage, so women that come forward about being raped are sent to prison under those laws.
A member of the Mexican embassy (a woman) was raped in Qatar and they had to smuggle her out of the country so she wouldn't go to prison. This happened very recently.
I feel like calling it "LGBT rights" or smth like that make it seem alien to a lot of people. They are human rights. But what did tout expect from a country that killed thousand of slaves to build stadiums?
From what I have seen it's about 70% coverage of deaths/workconditions/exploitation 20% fifa corruption and maybe 10% captains not beeing allowed to wear the "one love" armband
“Natural causes” they basically have to work long hours in stupidly high temperatures and live in places that have one kitchen per 600 people and don’t even have showers. Many died because of the jobs or conditions related to it but Qatar claims that most deaths at their sites were “natural causes” and that only like 17 people died on the job or something like that
The fact that those issues aren’t the thing we should be talking about, the women’s rights and homophobia are not news, it’s Islam, they’re not the most tolerant religion ever
They are not "protesters", they are protesters. Also, did you not see the Iranian team refusing to sing the national anthem in deference to the fight of women in Iran (no point of prostesting qatar for the hijab thing since there are no restrictions on women's headwear there). In addition, have you not seen people all over the world boycotting Qatar? There is a reason they had to hire "fans" to come to the stadiums. Just because you don't follow the news doesn't mean they're not out there. This whole championship is a gigantic, massive fail on so many levels it's ridiculous, and it's all anyone have talked about for months.
I’m gay by the way, and i’m not saying that LGBT rights aren’t an issue. But i’m tired of the media using our community for clicks and profits because everyone has something to say about it and ignoring even more marginalised groups because they just don’t generate the most traffic.
"nothing against lgbt people but" you know all of these are issues right? Don't put down one, lift up all. Otherwise it's just performative distress about another topic because you hate the current one.
One of these is a human right's issue, the other two are an issue of religion. The 6500 dead are therefore arguably what's important here, because you're not going to rewrite an entire culture's religion... unless you're some kind of raging islamaphobe, habibi 👀?
Talking to people about the world cup, the (pretty much) slave workers in Qatar is my first point about Qatar not being worthy of hosting the world cup.
This was how many people died doing construction in the last 10 years or something like that. Not 6500 people building stadiums. If you’re going to complain about something, get your facts straight first, it will have more impact.
Being arrested and imprisoned for being gay around the world is still something we should all fight to fix. As well as the LGBT+ people who are killed/raped/beaten just for being who they are. But yes continue on about how it's a non issue
I'm pretty sure getting arrested, beaten and thrown in jail with the possibility of receiving a death sentence is a bit more than feelings getting hurt.
Only 2 people died in building the stadiums and not from work overload the 6500 deaths are from the entire country but somehow the media can't bring real news these days
I'm tired of it as well. It's a shame when anything bad happens, but come on... It's not the only problem in the world. Child poverty, homeless veterans, children dying in mouldy social housing...
A good horror movie plot would be the ghosts of the dead workers awake and start terrorizing /possessing everyone at the World Cup and the only hero Qatar can count on is a gay protagonist.
I just don't get why some people can't discuss these topics in a peaceful manner and at least try to improve them in a positive way without people causing so much fucking controversy over them 🤦.
they covered it from the moment construction began and the event still happened. its been years, qatari slaves never had a chance cause humans are garbage

And lashed
they're ALL fucking problems there's nothing controversial about humans deserving human fucking rights - its in the name

I feel like calling it "LGBT rights" or smth like that make it seem alien to a lot of people. They are human rights. But what did tout expect from a country that killed thousand of slaves to build stadiums?
All Human rights
From what I have seen it's about 70% coverage of deaths/workconditions/exploitation 20% fifa corruption and maybe 10% captains not beeing allowed to wear the "one love" armband
Honestly, all I've seen is the LGBTQ stuff, weird
What happened to the workers?
“Natural causes” they basically have to work long hours in stupidly high temperatures and live in places that have one kitchen per 600 people and don’t even have showers. Many died because of the jobs or conditions related to it but Qatar claims that most deaths at their sites were “natural causes” and that only like 17 people died on the job or something like that
OP... what are you on about?
Lgbt isn’t important and we should dismiss those issues for other issues?
The fact that those issues aren’t the thing we should be talking about, the women’s rights and homophobia are not news, it’s Islam, they’re not the most tolerant religion ever
Fucking hell dude. Do you go to breast cancer marathons and complain about testicular cancer not getting attention?
I didn't know the world cup was only for the alphabet people
I've heard more about 6.5k workers and women's rights than lgbt
Yah and I thought it was 15k dead slaves not only 6.5

Just because we’re mad about one thing, it doesn’t mean we’re somehow ignoring everything else. Anger isn’t mutually exclusive
Sure but it means one thing is making people more mad than the other. Which probably means that thing is more important.

Them: they’re all civil rights?

Loudest groups get priority
Yeah fuck the people in qatar
really dude? you wanna fuck them?
Average European
I don't know what you Americans are doing again, but around here the workers are often talked about
When you realize the lines in the pride flags are straight
Well what would they look like if they weren't?
Talking to people about the world cup, the (pretty much) slave workers in Qatar is my first point about Qatar not being worthy of hosting the world cup.
Woah how is that even legal?? Did they stole their own passport or another countries?
This was how many people died doing construction in the last 10 years or something like that. Not 6500 people building stadiums. If you’re going to complain about something, get your facts straight first, it will have more impact.
this posting is giving “all lives matter” vibes
Yeah but rage bait is how they sell premium ad space, and so it goes
Someone gets it.
I just don’t see why lgbt stuff is so massive your a dude who likes dick big whoop should you get a metal or something
Being arrested and imprisoned for being gay around the world is still something we should all fight to fix. As well as the LGBT+ people who are killed/raped/beaten just for being who they are. But yes continue on about how it's a non issue
All this woke bullshit and we forget the important things
Fr I feel much more conserned about modern fucking slavery than about someone getting his feelings hurt
I'm pretty sure getting arrested, beaten and thrown in jail with the possibility of receiving a death sentence is a bit more than feelings getting hurt.
i mean yeah, but you act like gay people weren't literally tortured to death for existing back then
Yeah see the press is mum on it because the guys who own the press are putting a plan in motion to work us all to death.
15000* workers
depends hiw and who you count, minimum is just over 6000 and max is 16000
Men rights?
Forgotten
Valid point
Accurate
Only 2 people died in building the stadiums and not from work overload the 6500 deaths are from the entire country but somehow the media can't bring real news these days
[удалено]
this is something out of
Fuck is wrong with you? Here to spread hate for no reason or do you actually have something constructive to add?
I am against everything you stand for.
…
i agree with your opinion and relate.
Outrage Inc.
Answer is easy. People LGBT have more attention for media.
people will post shit like this then unironically continue to support the neoliberal economics that necessitate and bring about this exact thing
And here i thought the problem was conservatives appeasing theocracies ran by man children for the last 50 years. The more you learn i guess
What if... All the workers are gays.
The "Qatar wtf is wrong with you" trio
can somone explain me what happened?
People are apparently just realizing that outside of Western countries many forms of slavery are commonplace.
Don't forget about this:
I want to show my shoulders and knees, how the hell is that offensive??
I'm tired of it as well. It's a shame when anything bad happens, but come on... It's not the only problem in the world. Child poverty, homeless veterans, children dying in mouldy social housing...
How did they die?
"all I'm asking for is a reasonable ratio of soup to wontons"
Idk what country youre from that your media isn't covering this topic but it sure isn't mine.
The news doing what is does best; keeping candles lit.
We can acknowledge and talk about more than one problem at once 😐😐😐😐😐
A good horror movie plot would be the ghosts of the dead workers awake and start terrorizing /possessing everyone at the World Cup and the only hero Qatar can count on is a gay protagonist.
Lmaaooooo
I hate this meme format so much like damn the second someone talks about one problem suddenly the other ones are forgotten. Yea no they’re not
Controversial topics? Bro EVERYTHING about Qatar is controversial, what planet are you on?
You do realize we can fight for all 3? A push for one is a push for all these
I just don't get why some people can't discuss these topics in a peaceful manner and at least try to improve them in a positive way without people causing so much fucking controversy over them 🤦.
Why do you think Dave Chappelle likes messing with them so much
they covered it from the moment construction began and the event still happened. its been years, qatari slaves never had a chance cause humans are garbage
How about all the countries that put in their bids just for Qatar to rig the whole thing and buy out votes?
OP is consuming different media than me. All three of these subjects have been in my feed in equal manner.
Workers?!! You mean slaves.
Not caring if you consider anything.
it’s not a competition. why do you think you need to dismiss other problems for different problems?
