Exactly, Edweis! Context is an important part of humanization and it's currently missing in Jendrik's song. Generalistic "this behaviour is bad" messages often ring hollow to the masses because they are prescriptivistic in nature: In addition to being glaringly obvious, they tell people how they should feel and behave. If there's anything people dislike, it's being told what to feel and do by an irritating stranger. Jendrik needs to work on that, plain and simple.
No, talking about it in interviews isn't enough. It needs to come across on a stage. Not everyone who tunes in will bother looking up Jendrik interviews, but all of them will see his live performance.

So for the special snow flakes here, Jendrik just needs to lay out his private life and experiences, because otherwise connecting with
him feels o so very difficult. Screw privacy, we need drama & context baby. I guess. You're so superficial and general!
Social media truly made people freaking blood suckers. The double standards laid out here are astonishing and are just proofing Jendrik's point even further. Give us more context – but don't share those messages you get which are the embodiment of the topic of the song! And it's fascinating how people project their own view of someone onto them. "His true agenda must be to do well in the contest!" ("It's a music competition!" Yeah... absolutely, it's all and only about and the music at the ESC............... lmao, welcome to Disneyland. But God forbid a participant speaks ill of homosexuality or represents the wrong country in the wrong year), despite the person in question saying the complete opposite... yeah...
Too much BS to digest. I need to stay away from here

"I dont feel hate" causes so much hate because it catches the haters in the act of hating and they hate that.

Um, yeah? It deals passive-aggressively with hate by shaming the haters. That 100% absolutely gets under your skin if you dislike it, but that's *also* the intention I suppose. (And therefore not something I particularly dislike.)

Shaming is amazing, because it works.
here is how it works, step by step:
It's such a schäm, it's such a schäm,
Don't walk away, don't walk away
All this time I thought I knew myself
But once again, I bury my head in schäm
Mischen eckomplischt!

Why are people kicking off so much about a song. It's a song. No one will force you to listen to it. It's an automatic qualifier too so you don't really have to listen to it full in a semi final. It could even be a chance to make a cocktail, have a pee or go for a cigarette.

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't have to pee (during Eurovision) [don't want to miss anything] + it sucks if you hate the song of your own country... but maybe you - as a British fan - have already got more accustomed to it and that's why you can't comprehend how utterly angry and disappointed I am.

I don't want to join that clubYep. After 10 years of disappointments you come to expect the worst and fangirl over mediocre. Welcome to the club
But I guess that after "Black Smoke", "Perfect Life", "Sister" and this, I will be more relaxed in the future as well. It's just that Eurovision has always been part of my life since I was a toddler (my parents taught me to be(ome) a fan) and even though I'm not very patriotic, I still have the urge to cheer for Germany and it bothers me a lot that we can't submit a well-produced, universally liked song by an well-established artist which is also authentic and composed by Germans/in Germany. I mean, the UK and Germany are the biggest music markets in Europe, we should know better.
It just feels so frustrating - Germany ditched its national finals because of mediocre songs by nobodies and newcomers being chosen by the public... they always highlight that the internal selection attracts "so many big names, so many good songs" but what have we get so far? - "Violent Thing" (a modern/catchy bop performed by someone who lacks charisma, talent and confidence on stage) and "I Don't Feel Hate" which is... eh.. very polarising (I have already come to the conclusion that it can be an advantage).. but why am I referring back to it, you may ask? - Our head of delegation said that "I Don't Feel Hate" is such a strong contender, a surefire hit since all jury members (200!!!!! people!) loved it and it got an average score of 11.82 out of 12. WTF! - Seriously, I think this can't be true at all.. I mean, just look at this forum (or somewhere elese). It probably gets a 6 as an average score since it's either totally adored or extremely hated and thus, I think that the internal selection is a fucking mess and the current outcome doesn't justify the ditching our national final part.
- As a fan, I wish Jendrik all the best and I'm happy that some fans really seem to love this song but I'm very disappointed about the song, how it got chosen and how our broadcaster treats us (e.g. they announced Jendrik to be the entrant of Eurovision 2019 on their official page
, they moved forward its premiere all of a sudden without telling anyone, talking shit about the procedure, cancelling our national final). It's just a big fat no from me.That's why, I can't just sit and relax. I mean, I wouldn't mind getting such an entry from Lithuania, the UK, San Marino or Moldova... but dunno, I still had some more faith in our broadcaster.... but I guess, I will be part of your club soon #getmymembershipready
I want to give it both 12 points and 0 points at the same time

perched for that The Mamas review, and maybe a few words Dotter's way
Jendrik was at Barbara Schönberger's show today. At around 15:30 he plays his song in a slow version. Oh yeah, only for the non-haters, of course, everybody else can ignore this post.

But I really do feel hate for 'I don't feel hate'.
