And that’s another of my pet peeves about fantasies. The bad authors adopt the class structures of the Middle Ages; where you had the royalty and then you had the nobility and you had the merchant class and then you have the peasants and so forth. But they don’t’ seem to realize what it actually meant. They have scenes where the spunky peasant girl tells off the pretty prince. The pretty prince would have raped the spunky peasant girl. He would have put her in the stocks and then had garbage thrown at her. You know.
I mean, the class structures in places like this had teeth. They had consequences. And people were brought up from their childhood to know their place and to know that duties of their class and the privileges of their class. It was always a source of friction when someone got outside of that thing. And I tried to reflect that.

“— Wie die Eurovision Schwulenfeinden nicht entgegentritt « Stefan NiggemeierDas Problem besteht nach Ansicht der EBU nicht darin, dass Leute etwas gegen Schwule haben und tun, sondern dass sie den Eurovision Song Contest mit einer schwulen Veranstaltung verwechseln?
Die EBU verurteilt nicht die Homophobie, sondern bedauert das (nur bedingte) Missverständnis, den Grand-Prix für schwul zu halten?
Die EBU ruft nicht: »Lasst uns gemeinsam gegen Schwulenfeinde und für Toleranz und Akzeptanz kämpfen«, sondern: »Wir sind gar nicht schwul«?
Und dann ist es ihr nicht einmal peinlich, dem noch das übliche PR-Gewäsch hinzuzufügen, dass ja nichts passieren kann, weil es ihr die Regierung Aserbaidschans ja versprochen hat?
Der Tag kann nicht mehr fern sein, an dem die EBU sich bei ihrem fortschreitenden Bemühen, sich zu nichts zu verhalten, auch von sich selbst distanziert. Dann wird sie erklären, nichts mit sich zu tun zu haben, aber darauf zu vertrauen, dass irgendwelche Regierungen zu ihren Garantien stehen, dass alles gut sein wird. Mit etwas Glück löst sie sich zeitgleich auf.
Die EBU ist eine Vereinigung von Rundfunkanstalten mit öffentlichem Auftrag. Deutsche Mitglieder sind ARD und ZDF.

“ More than 1,000 UK government staff have been caught snooping on citizen data — including criminal records, social security, and medical records. From the article: 'The U.K. government is haemorrhaging data — private and confidential citizen data — from medical records to social security details, and even criminal records, according to figures obtained through Freedom of Information requests. Just shy of 1,000 civil servants working at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), were disciplined for accessing personal social security records. The Department for Health (DoH), which operates the U.K.’s National Health Service and more importantly all U.K. medical records, saw more than 150 breaches occur over a 13-month period.' ”— UK Government Staff Caught Snooping On Citizen Data
