La Vitalista Letizia, too "old" to wear a minidress?
Berta Vázquez became, against all odds, a
'trending topic'
on Twitter during the Goya Gala.
And I say that, against all odds, because the actress did not obtain any award in recognition of her work (although she did give one along with Belén Rueda, for the best European Film).
She also didn't star in any high-profile moments or make an off-key statement.
It became the center of conversations on Elon Musk's social network because some began to seek their moment of glory by launching
kindergarten jokes
about his physique as 'elaborate' as asking "if Berta Vázquez had eaten Berta Vazquez".
His was described in networks as a 'gordphobic attack', what is not so clear is that what should be called what his colleague
María León
suffered for committing the 'crime' of wearing a dress with transparencies that practically exposed her
natural
breast
"We know if María León, yes
the one with her tits like two chorizo peppers
, she has messed it up when leaving the party after the # Goya2023 gala ?? ", reads the most prominent tweet dedicated to the interpreter during the night .
And he is not the only one of this ilk who is among the most read: "You will forgive me but that udder only has two explanations: multiple maternity or overexploitation
in sucking.
María León is not a mother, so draw conclusions..." .
But there is still more.
It is enough to 'take a walk' through the Instagram accounts of the media so that one's guts churn reading the comments dedicated to the guests at the gala (of them, I'm sorry, but it's hardly talked about ).
While
Penelope Cruz
is put to give birth for no reason, period,
Belén Rueda
, they say, "her dress and hair made her older" and
Milena Smith
is compared to 'Joker'.
Worst of all, this widespread outpouring of anger is not exclusive to big events like the Goyas.
It is that we see it every day, getting stronger especially, it must be said, about women who are lucky (or unfortunate) to carry out their professional work in the public sphere, starting with Queen Letizia
herself
.
If you don't believe it, I invite you, leaving the ideological background aside, to read the comments that his images arouse: "He has a face made of wax";
"What he saves on fixing clothes that he has worn, he spends on Botox";
"his arms are disgusting";
"he is not here to show his knees";
"At his age, he should no longer wear a high ponytail because he has four hairs", are some of the niceties that are usually dedicated to him in each of his appearances.
And we could go on like this for hours.
For this reason, when I read the attacks on Berta Vázquez, I cannot help thinking that, behind them, there is not only
fatphobia
(which is also true), as well as, beyond the criticism of Queen Letizia for the length of her summer "mini-dresses". , there is not only
ageism
(which also), but something as old as the world called
cruelty
and that, as defined in psychology, is nothing more than the search for pleasure through the suffering of others.
And I am very much afraid that those who practice it have found on social networks the ideal setting to recreate their luck, sheltered under anonymity that only frames their
repugnant cowardice
.
