I just unjoined the World Cup subreddit. I hadn't paid attention to it until today. All I saw today was people trying to justify Qatar and FIFA actions by "both siding" the issue, and just general toxicity. I don't remember the toxicity during he last World Cup.

Which is ironic because the toxicity should have been a lot worse. The state of Russia is orders of magnitude worse than Qatar.

Good point, I completely forgot about that. Maybe FIFA has finally gone one too far for me and an okay percentage of fans around the world. I guess TV ratings will see if they went too far or are just too popular.

But at the time Russia wasn't as bad as it is now. If Russia was hosting now it would be a complete uproar worse than Qatar

Russia invaded Ukraine and started its genocide in 2014. Four years before it hosted the World Cup.

It's a shame but they're just trying to justify themselves watching it. A lot of people have conflicting feelings about this world cup and they don't know how to feel good about themselves enjoying this world cup after all the shitty things Qatar has done, so they try to argue their way into believing "its not that bad" or "other countries are worse" just so they can enjoy the cup.
At least that's how i see it. It's football fans were talking about here, they might just be shitty people and that's that.

You’re actually defending an authoritarian regime that hates women and gay people. A government that HAS A MORALITY POLICE.😂😆
You’re actually DEFENDING intolerance/prejudice and racism and turning around and screaming racism at the people pointing it out.
You’re insincere and you don’t know how you’re supposed to feel. So you scream racism because it’s been true before.
Grow up.

You're mixing Qatar with Saudi Arabia, that shows exactly how racist you're in lumping them all up ignorantly.
​
I know exactly how I feel, the west is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Fuck all of y'all.

You’re a clown that can’t even debate on an intellectual factual level. Just calling me racist and cursing at me when I don’t bend to your will. You are wrong. I don’t give a fuck how you feel. QATAR is as if not completely worse racist/prejudiced as middle American white conservatives.
Grow up you petulant child. 🤡

“All six said that police forced them to sign pledges indicating that they would “cease immoral activity.”

First of all, I didn't say anything about gay folks intolerance because, news flash, it's a Muslim country, wth did you expect?
Second of all, you can't just impose your western values as the morally correct choice on other nations, it doesn't work like that. That article about guardianship doesn't mean jack shit. They site just two isolated cases and generalize it on the whole country!
Get the fuck outta here.
