The joint statement issued by Alexandros Tsouvelas and Eva Karydis on the offensive comments they have received was commented on Open today by Lambros Konstantaras, Ioanna Maleskou and their colleagues, with the discussion taking a heated turn.
A particularly sharp statement was made by Aria Kalyvas, who erupted on air, expressing strong annoyance at the way online criticism is handled.
Referring to the case, she stressed that this case is not an isolated incident, but is part of a wider phenomenon of toxicity on social media, where – as she said – public criticism often crosses the line.
At the same time, he pointed to the fact that public attitudes vary depending on the social or economic profile of those involved. As he noted, when it comes to persons with a strong economic surface, the public reaction is often more lenient or even positive, while when it comes to people “next door”, the criticism becomes much harsher and aggressive.
With this example, he criticised the “double standards” that he argued prevail in public debate online, calling it a toxic behaviour that often leads to targeting and exaggeration.
