Several feminist groups have managed to suspend the performance that Jorge Cremades was going to present at the Champs-Elysées Theatre in Bilbao. After meeting with the City Hall, the theatre has announced that the shows announced by the council will be delayed. Official argument: Professional commitments. The City Council has welcomed the fact that action is contrary to its equality policy and has shown its satisfaction.

Cremades' videos feed sexist stereotypes and foster the culture of rape, for example by intentionally linking a girl who is drunk. In an interview published in the journal El Español, he said: “Men are more raped than women, but that’s not what we’re talking about.” After the publication of this news, the City of Elche suspended the performance of the humorist.

This situation is known at the Campos Theatre. Last year, the YouTubers Wismichu show was canceled due to a campaign of pressure such as the insulted humiliation of his humor.

My opinion? Well, more than opinion, more than doubt. On the one hand, I understand the request of the feminists in this serious context (in the Spanish State five Machistan murders have been counted in four days). And we might think that if the humorist loses contracts, he might be forced to change his discourse. On the other hand, let us not forget that it has become so popular precisely because of its sexist humor.

Yes, it is true that the influence and success that Cremades and Wismichuk have among the youngest is worrying. But what is the effective way to deal with this situation? After Wismichu's tumult, several girls told me that they were very angry with the feminists, because our fault was that they would stay unaware of their idol. I know that the feminist movement must be radical, but I do not see very clearly the strategy of personally fighting the idols of young people. The same goes for the regiment singer Maluma. In my opinion, Maluma, Cremades and Wismichu are not a problem, but a symptom, three indicators that machismo is rooted in our culture and among young people. If we keep their voices quiet, we'll just calm down the superficial expressions. I prefer to use their videos and songs to awaken the critical spirit, to reflect on which messages they broadcast and to seek alternative speeches. If Cremades' controversy serves to raise awareness about the culture of rape, that is good. But let's remember that he's not an ideologist, but someone who repeats the jokes that are heard in most of the boys' crews.

I have one last concern. Remember the Moorish Law. Remember the puppeteers' theater. Remember the resignation of Guillermo Zapata. In this context, should we not think carefully about how to oppose offensive speeches? To say that a comedian does “apology for machist violence” is not to follow the line of the concept “apology of terrorism”? Yes, I am clear that this is not the same, because “male terrorism” is very alive and the other is a strategy of criminalisation. But how do we explain it to young people? Who decides what humor is allowed? Youtuber I'm a pringada says heterosexual men are making her feel disgust. How do you explain that that's not offensive?

In the context of the attack on Charlie Hebdo, Pablo Pérez Navarro convinced me of what was written in Pikara: “Freedom of expression is a very subtle right if it does not recognize the right to blasphemy.”
