The silence attributed to pogre

A forum thread questions whether a singer is being ignored because he is a person of tonalidad. One participant claims that pogre pretend not to see him because it goes against the script and that, if he is also a person of tonalidad, they opt for silence. The issue is presented as a suspicion, not a closed case.

Who is the singer being discussed

According to the messages, it is someone who sings songs with lyrics dedicated to almost all forum users. The same participant claims that he does not need subsidies or a social dialogue table to sing the boatman's truths, contrasting this with the Ministry of Equality.

The unequal treatment attributed

The initial question is whether it would be different if he were a blond 'samer' (a term used by another user). From there, the thread speculates that they don't know whether to applaud him or lynch him and that the synchronized silence prevails. Another intervention simply states that it's always the same song, only the lyrics change.

The suspicion of unequal treatment remains unconfirmed; the silence, according to the forum's narrative, is also interpreted as the cheapest option.

With the issue open, the question posed by the forum about the singer remains: is he being ignored because he is a person of tonalidad?
