The Russian pop song "Sigma Boy", performed by two kids, has sparked some political controversy. Ukraine is accusing the song (which is popular on TikTok) of being pro-Russian propaganda, and similar claims have been aired by the German Volt party in the European Parliament. The song has been defended by a high ranking member of the Russian Duma, who believes "Sigma Boy" is taking a stand against "LGBT fascism".
Ahem, am I the only person who noticed that the song sexualizes children?
Actually, it seems that an Orthodox Christian organization in Russia has condemned the song for precisely this reason. They even want the song-writer investigated by the proper authorities! The irony is palpable. So Russian "soft power" is difficult to distinguish from paedophilia...
