I will entirely skipping @eurovision.tv again for its unacceptable shameless political choice to platform a violent, terrorist, genocidal Israel.

You should too, even if Eurovision is "fun" or "massive for engagement" - the EBU is choosing to ignore genocide. Don't be like or support the EBU.

Here to say that we wouldn't exist without arts funding.

Not only would 1000xRESIST not exist without arts funding, we as artists who practiced for YEARS, trying to understand ourselves and our mediums would not exist without arts funding.

Fund the arts! All of them. Including games.
Canada subsidized 1000xRESIST
France subsidized Clair Obscur
Governments pay for lots of art

or arts funding. I’d take arts funding
