I’m not European, but from what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of media coverage. You can’t spend 2 seconds on the mainstream music side of the internet without hearing something from the contest.

Makes sense to me. The Ghoul is an original character, and Goggins doesn’t need to know a lot about the setting or source material.

blood libel is supposed to mean accusations that jewish people eat/drink blood (e.g. Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and one of the many factors that led to the current cultural idea of vampires). it’s often mistakenly applied to people describing Israel as “bloodthirsty”, but like, that term is universally used for evil of all different ethnicities and religions. that mistake then gets further abstracted into “being against genocide is blood libel”.

Oh, a lynching.
