It's basically the delulu fans who think their opinions are the facts and anyone who disagrees with them receive hate. The old fandom never used to be like this, new, younger fans from 2020 onwards seem to be the main people doing the toxic work, especially on X and Instagram. The racism is also a huge issue too.

As an Azerbaijani thank you for your opposition. so sad for ignoring my country Azerbaijan. we want peace and celebrating ❤❤❤

The sad truth is that no one has any respect for the Eurovision content creators, their boundaries, and their personal lives. People can say that they do, but they really don't. I've seen so many boundaries crossed and so many KZfaqrs made to feel unsafe. It's disgusting. Good on you for taking a step back and focusing on your real life and the things that actually matter. Keep thriving Luke, don't let the trolls tear you down ❤

Would love to see your reaction to the final scores. It's a treat. And if Mama Trish is around, it would be hilarious too see her reactions to the "stranger" songs.

Good luck and thank you for positive comments and common sense and grace in this situation. Much love

Well said Luke, I’m so happy that your are doing so well with your personal time, I’m like you only here for the music and I listening to each song without getting into what is happening

I'm pretty sad we won't see your reaction to some of the songs but I'm glad it's for such a good reason! I really appreciate what you said in the video and wish everyone will follow that way. The fandom becomes really toxic lately on both sides (as an Israeli I felt that on a personal level) We'll miss you and your videos! Can't wait for the return already 😂❤

As, israel. Thank u. I alwayes love your reviwes

Luke, so happy you are thriving, and thank you for spreading positivity! We'll be looking forward to your return

Glad things are going so well for you Luke!! We will be here when you are able to, and well said about the fandom right now. So much awful things being said back and forth. It's a lose lose situation for all of us at the moment, and I wish everyone would stop taking it out on eachother, and creators/reactors in the fandom.

as an israeli, thank you for this video.

Fair play 🎉. I kind of expect it from the fans but cannot get over certain reactors turning on other reactors. Glad to hear you are having such a good 2024. Look forward to seeing you bring out your next video whenever that maybe.❤

Yeah the hate that people get for simply expressing their opinion or not. It is way too harsh and people should just respect the individuals morals and boundaries. People should just chill out for people’s opinions. Art is art and it isn’t for everybody. This is so sad and it has actually happened with another channel @MegESC1 who is also autistic so it is even harder for her to cope with it all (like it would be for me as I am autistic myself) and it is genuinely horrible when people just their hate at others just for doing what they feel is right you know. I wish we could heal but I genuinely don’t know how we will as a fandom. I have literally been losing sleep over this recently and it is not looking any better in the future and I am not even a reactor or lost on a fansite. I cannot imagine what it’d be like to be you. Hope you are enjoying the season so far and return to make a top and actually I do kind of like it better when you don’t know someone’s opinion on a song prior anywhere because it adds more mystique (that is the best way I can describe it) to what someone thinks. Glad your life is really taking off and I really hope you come back reinvigorated after your break (at least as much as you can). I love You for your honest takes even if I disagree with them and your reasoning for why is always put in such an understanding manner. I really love you for that and you were one of the original channels that made me fall in love with this contest. I am sad but understanding of toute choice to step away. If you are reading this thank you for going this far and I will miss you!

Following from my earlier message to you…. Well done you! Love your honesty and so happy to learn that good things are happening. Waiting patiently for you to come back. Just love your reactions. Good luck everything 💖

Send my love to mama trish miss her a lot

We respect you and your words. Hope you'll find some time to share with us your reaction here in Israel❤🇮🇱

Thank you so, so much Luke for being so candid. Its so great that 2024 has been so prosperous for you. You are a gem!

I'd like to apologize to Luke and everyone for the comments I made on his previous video. I was not in a good headspace on the day I made those comments. It was an action very unlike me. I have always loved Luke's energy and valued his opinions, so for me to have made those comment that very thoughtless. I ask forgiveness.

Hey I' m so glad you did this. It's not easy coz I know that you are so passionate about Eurovision. So it's commendable! Frankly, you don't owe anyone any reason for taking care of your sanity and being kind to yourself. But you do this coz people matter to you 😊 Anyway I feel this unkindness is just everywhere in youtube. I'm not surprised if it shows up in other areas of the unkind person's life. I feel it's coz something broke within them that they're just unable to be aware of their actions and its effects. I feel sad and hope that they would get as much help needed. Anyway, sending you lots of love and kind precious thoughts from Singapore ❤🇸🇬!!

I'm happy that you succeed in work and absolutely there should be no hate comments. In the end it's only Eurovision. Also, I just saw people from my country commenting to you as if you are their worker or something, totally disrespectful and out of line. With it, many KZfaqrs including you had the time to react to every other song before israel, and Georgia, which came later, thus choosing to ignore specifically Israel. When they do it deliberately, it's somewhat disappointing. When so many do it, even if you didn't mean to ignore, people interpret it like this Anyway, love your reactions

I’m so proud of you ❤

Well done and good luck Luke! Always a pleasure to see your videos. Hopefully we’ll see you soon! ❤

I need that Girls Aloud box behind you!!!

So happy to hear good things are happening in your life ❤ My friend commented on Israel’s ESC video that Israel’s song is political and should not be approved. She got many hateful responses and the next day ability to comment any videos in YT was removed. She thinks that message had been flagged so many times YT automatically removed her her ability to comment anything anymore. This is where we are now.

Thanks for an honest and very good message. Respect. You're a ⭐

Thank you for this message. I will wait for your reviews later on ❤

I understand what you're saying and of course no one can demand you make reaction videos! The problem starts when you start making excuses...this competition is meant to unite people and countries...but beyond that it is meant to remind us of a dark past to which we do not want to return! A past where people just like you were afraid to voice their opinion! I hope that all the commenters for this contest will find the courage to do the right thing and not let the fear of losing followers or hateful comments influence their opinion and voice..I'm sorry but right now it sounds more like an excuse than a justified reason

Love you so much Luke, so happy that you are thriving atm, always love your attitude and how you approach the contest. The fandom loves you!

Chuffed that real life is fantastic for you, and what a brilliant reason to be unable to keep up this year. Sadly, there will be some who will continue to draw their own conclusions and get annoyed that the song they like isn't liked as much by others or isn't covered. That's life and real life comes first. Keep being you and keep striving and thriving ❤

Thank you for this unfortunate but uniting and respectful message. I hope to see your lovely videos soon and good luck with everything. I'm sorry that people from my country talked to you in a way you didn't deserve. People here nowadays are in pain and getting irritated and offended very easily. But it's not an excuse for not trying to investigate before jumping to horrible conclusions and throwing a lot of toxic accusations all around. Your words here are so important, and also your very respectful responses in the comments on the previous video. I really appreciated that. So thank you again for being who you are. 🙏🏽❤️🇮🇱

I agree with all you've just said, well done! Good luck, Luke in your life in general! A big hug!

Thanks Luke. Good luck with the stuff going on for you and thanks for your wise words.

Well said Luke. Sadly modern political and social tribalism has gotten its grubby paws on Eurovision. It was bound to happen eventually! The only way to combat this is for people like yourself to keep spreading these messages of kindness and tolerance. Whenever you do come back to your channel, I hope you continue to push this message. It's warmly received by the vast majority I can assure you! Let's hope you come back to a Eurovision community we can all go back to being incredibly proud of being a part of. All the best to you my friend

Saying something is also something. Ignoring bloggers you thought were friends its sucks. Anyway you love Pikachu and thanks for explaining your difficulty. Music is supposed to unite if not politics.🇮🇱💙

Thanks from Israel! I'm waiting to see your opinion on the Israeli song 🙏🏼

Much success with what you are currently doing Luke 👍👍👍 Hope to see you soon, love your reviews with that touch of humour 😃😜👌Hugs from Belgium ❤❤❤

Am sorry luke if I upset you. And please irl more important I love you to forces on that Good luck with everything. I been upset with eurovision family as well. I haven't been commenting on pepole video for long time because of family and work. Thanks for everything in pass you help me get thorough covid. Lot of love Ben 😢 😭 ❤

Thank you Luke, love all of your videos and I’m so happy to hear your doing well and 2024 is going well for you, ya deserve it man ❤

Good luck with the move. We will be here when you get back ❤

Thank you for clearly rejecting all the bullying and toxiticy ❤❤❤ from Germany

💖

No worries Luke, you have a particular niche and style in reacting and analyzing songs that I enjoy alongside other channels, and I will be waiting for your next video whenever that is.

Well put!

@Luke White i appreciate it what you say

these last years ive been watching your reactions to israel, really looked forward to your reaction this year.. but its ok i understand.. and i respect ur decision.. thanks anyway:)

United By Music Divided by the fandom

Fair enough

Love from Israel my friend 💙🇮🇱

very well said ❤

❤ from 🇵🇹

Happy for you. ❤️ But be back soon, please.

Spot on Luke!! ❤❤❤

Thanks for the words and hope you will find time to express your thoughts about Israel and Eden. Peace and love 🇮🇱

The problem, I think, is that there has been a tremendous amount of misinformed hatred directed at a certain country. Many content creators have gone out of their way to show contempt for a single country. When other content creators do not have the time, or try to split the difference and try to play the song without national symbols or the country name, they're attacked from both sides. That, in turn, drags everyone else down.

Big love darling heart, keep being you ❤️

You contradict yourself on any other sentence bringing your logic to absurd. With respect!

Do what you feel like you have to, and yes we should respect that. I understand if with certain things it can seem like, no matter what you do, someone throws negative things your way, but yes you can't please everyone, and your mood and feelings towards certain things/songs can be affected. I'm glad that your work and social life is doing so well and keep you busy, and yes its not your duty to react,(some things are more important), but some thing you love to do in your spare time, which at the moment you don't seem to have a lot of. I understand its easier to make a quick post on instagram if you have a free moment, than sitting down and putting things together for a reaction video, and I also follow you there, so I know you are doing great it seems. See you here, when you have the propper time for videos, so you can better enjoy it.

Luke, so glad to know that you are moving forward successfully with your work and your plans, that is great news! Enjoy life and keep on enjoying the ESC so much as you want to and in any way that you choose to do so. By the way, I do not get all this fuss about the Israeli entry this year. The third and final Israeli entry has no political message at all, people are interpreting too much into the lyrics. Besides, every time the Ukrainian entry has been political, most notably with their 2 winning songs, no one has complained about it, and the EBU has fully tolerated it. Among other things it is this biased attitude of the EBU for some countries, that has turned off my enjoying of this contest. But still, I still follow it, just because I still discover some music gems, like the Italian, the Greek and the Norwegian entry

Glad things are going so well for you! I'll miss your videos, and I'm really sorry some of Israel's fans have been so nasty to you. They make those of us who understand the difficult situation they're in look really bad to everyone else. I really wish tempers weren't as high as they are right now.

You say you don’t have time and in the same time you don’t have to react to Israel…?

i actually wrote a massive long reply but decided not to post it i just think saying “we must respect whatever someone chooses to do” is a bit of an ideal and comes from a privileged perspective. i too am privileged as i and no one i know is directly effected by the siege my morals and what’s ongoing in Gaza means i can’t support or “respect” those who choose to rank such a country. we are not in an esc bubble there are people losing their lives one thing you mentioned in a reply and we can agree on though is that this is all the ebu’s doing. their decision to include that country has brought the contest into “disrepute” and has put artists, broadcasters, fans, media, reactors etc. in a position they should’ve never be put in we just want to see the loss of human life end not people ignoring it

I do respect you and your decision , But i do see the BS coming out of this vid, suprisingly you just dont have the time, after you reacted to every single vid of eurvison :/ hmm ok. This shall blow over, but we will never forget every single bloger that stood beside us or didnt, its a shame to see this from someone so respected as you were to us Thanks for the past good luck in the future , i pray our paths never cross .

Hi luke! Just wanted to say that i've been a long time subscriber. I really enjoyed your videos.. i respect your decision, but you also should respect the decision of Jewish and Israelis that will now not continue to watch your channel.. it hurts me that you choose to ignore israel 💔 Wishing you all the best . 🇮🇱✡️💙🤍

💙🇮🇱🤍✡️☮️🤍🇮🇱💙

Love you from Israel ❤

🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️☮️🎗

I think you are chickening out because you don’t want to comment on Israel.

Israel ♥️♥️beautiful song

Dude you don't have time and you had intention to react to and each and every country and we respect your choices, but you reacted to Georgia which was released in public day after Israel. So something here doesn't add up.

honestly i cant believe its becoming this toxic this contest at this rate may need to be renamed to divided by countries

I must say that I’m a bit disappointed. I know that you don’t have to do a reaction of Israel song but I was a fool thinking that this competition is not political and is about music. Anyway we will dance again, leave the world behind have suddenly a difrenate meaning apparently nobody can truly understand us…Peace and love from Israel ❤🇮🇱

I enjoyed from your reactions in the last years, maybe next time wish you all the best. 🇮🇱🇮🇱

I hope you do find time to react to israel , I always love your reactions

Israel!!!!! Cant believe you are afraid to react to Israel song!!!! Afraid from what?? The free world!! So disappointed

Awww that's kinda sad. Armenia had a good song, but Israel? Yeah, that's probably a good thing you're not gonna do that. I wonder what you're up to. It's good to hear you're doing well especially in your career as a lot of British people are struggling! Take care my friend and i'll see you on the other side!

Israel💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙

Idk about this... I think this is a weird take... I get you want everyone to respect one another but some things are honestly unrespectable... I bet you didn't have any problems with the ebu kicking russia out of the competition because of the political situation so why would this be any different? I don't think that love and support for Israel can be 'accepted' honestly.

The uk is taken over by islamists, so i dont blame you if you're scared to react.. love from Israel ❤

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸

Absolutely agree. I would like to see Israel excluded from the competition, in just the same way that Russia has been excluded and for the same reasons, but it's never appropriate to be unkind. Regardless of my political opinions, for as long as Israel is in the competition I hope the Israeli fans enjoy themselves and that the Israeli act is ultimately proud of her performance, because as Joost puts it: at the end of the day, we are all human beings.

unimportant excuses from an unimportant person
