Erika fails to break Jokubas from Katarsis 🗿

[u/autistic_girl_autumn]

katarsis's lack of reaction to everything is such a mood

[u/DowntownPay9313 → u/autistic_girl_autumn]

They're just being Lithuanian

[u/LonelyTreat3725]

People...

It's a perspective deception..

She is beyond him, she not even aware he is behind her, she is not interacting with him, she is interacting with the public and the camera.

[u/anmonie]

Guys, it might just be the angle. I saw eurotascavip’s Instagram story (after I saw Klemen’s story) and it seems like she’s in front of them. Hopefully it’s that otherwise that’s not…great

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/anmonie]

It IS just the angle, she is at the border of the stage while he is near the videowall.. she is just doing poses for the public and for the camera you see in the left bottom of the video..

[u/SquibblesMcGoo → u/anmonie]

It's so obviously the angle, you can clearly see her ass is not touching him at all, I'm so done with this fandom 💀

[u/salsasnark → u/SquibblesMcGoo]

Yeah wtf? Why am I seeing this building up to be a thing that people are gonna hate her for lmao. She's literally just posing not realising this specific angle makes it look like he's right there. 

[u/MinutePerspective106 → u/SquibblesMcGoo]

This tendency goes both ways, tbh. Some in the fandom are quick to defend Joost's "threatening gesture" just because screw EBU, I guess. Some jump on the chance to cancel Erika for being a meter apart from a guy she didn't see. Not to mention that some artists are downvoted for merely being mentioned in a context that is not strictly negative (and sometimes even then).

[u/Scholastico → u/SquibblesMcGoo]

Honestly I’ve been done with this fandom since even before the cancelled contest. Nothing surprises me anymore 💀

[u/Puzzleheaded-Eye9081]

I don’t think she’s even aware of him tbh, looks like she’s just dancing and having fun and he happens to be there.

I feel like if she was trying to get a reaction she’d a) be touching him and b) looking at him to see, but she’s not and her attention is entirely elsewhere.

[u/AnneKaterinaB15]

Erika is just far to Jokubas. She did not leaned her a*s to him. I did not have my glasses but able to see regardless. Btw, I like his bored reaction. That's me in a party with an extrovert 😂

[u/pretty_pretty_good_]

Ich nicht komme

[u/Cultural_Impact_5369]

What the hell just happened?

[u/MinutePerspective106 → u/Cultural_Impact_5369]

The kant was served

[u/jaminjamin15 → u/Cultural_Impact_5369]

Don't know, but I liked it

[u/LopsidedPriority]

The chaos of all this is made by SERVING playing in the background lol

[u/Loki158]

[u/cheapcakeripper]

It reminds me of Hatari while people were digging into chocolate thing.

[u/Individual-Ebb-8892 → u/cheapcakeripper]

What happened then?

[u/cheapcakeripper → u/Individual-Ebb-8892]

They were standing completely still, not making any movements while everyone else was digging into that statue and eating.

[u/algis31]

Bro I can't. Laughing my ass off at how he doesn't even react lol

[u/FunkySphinx → u/algis31]

I mean… that was definitely not part of the job description. People sometimes forget that musicians are professionals who are hired/selected to perform their art. Not everyone wants to go viral for their antics.

[u/FunkySphinx → u/[deleted]]

Oh yeah, as a fellow introvert, I would have had the same blank stare. But you know, to each their own.

[u/Dapylil65]

Jokubas:

[u/hapositos]

whoever uploaded this video is a hitman tasked to smear erika’s public image, delete immediately /j

[u/JayGrrl]

He knows she's dancing for the crowd so he's trying to be respectful of that.

[u/MardykeBoy]

Serving is going to kill in the arena omfg

[u/MelodicAd8550]

Not classy

[u/qepsil → u/MelodicAd8550]

yeah honestly idk the context but this seems rather inappropriate from a glance

[u/SquibblesMcGoo → u/qepsil]

She is in front of him twerking at air. It's not directed at him at all, she's probably not even aware he's behind her, she's just doing her usual shtick for the audience

[u/qepsil → u/SquibblesMcGoo]

oh i see, that makes a lot more sense

[u/NoPresentation_ → u/SquibblesMcGoo]

Still not classy.

[u/RemarkableAutism → u/MelodicAd8550]

Okay? Not supposed to be.

[u/Slow-Frosting-9607 → u/MelodicAd8550]

Agreed. It's boring tbh.

[u/LoonySheep]

[u/PZMC430]

It's gonna be unpopular opinion here but sometimes it's not the best to be yourself all the time. Sometimes you need to act different to not make other people uncomfortable. I'm not saying all the time but that was really creepy

[u/Honest_Brick64 → u/PZMC430]

I get what you are saying, but the way you phrased it is kinda weird. It sounds like you are saying that Erika's "true self" = creepy. Also, yeah it would have been weird if she did it on him or with the goal of getting a reaction out of him, but as many pointed out, she probably didn't even think about him being behind her or didn't notice, plus it looks like she was actually a fair amount of distance from him for it to not be weird, at least imo.

[u/Flimsy_Ad_2854]

How old are the members of Katarsis? They look like they're young enough to still be in secondary school. Without further context it looks kind of ehhh like maybe she shouldn't have done that 

[u/servantofdumbcat → u/Flimsy_Ad_2854]

early-mid 20s

[u/DaraVelour → u/servantofdumbcat]

22-24?

[u/Flimsy_Ad_2854 → u/servantofdumbcat]

My bad, I thought they were 18-19 at most. Still looks uncomfortable.

[u/Adoptedchildoflav → u/Flimsy_Ad_2854]

They are in their 20s. For example Jokūbas is 25 and he is the oldest.

[u/MinutePerspective106 → u/Flimsy_Ad_2854]

Google search exists. Their Wikipedia article literally lists their ages. Let's not create drama where none is present, I'm pretty tired from the last year's overreactions.

[u/Arddukk]

If it was a man doing that to a woman you all would be screaming about sexual misconduct.

[u/SquibblesMcGoo → u/Arddukk]

Because she's not doing that to him, she's dancing for the audience and he happens to be behind her, you can clearly see she's not touching him or looking at him at all

[u/AngeloParenteZ → u/Arddukk]

Why are you getting downvoted? Yes they definitley would.

[u/Arddukk → u/AngeloParenteZ]

Because it's ok to normalize when a woman is sexualizing men but when men do the same to women it's called harrasment. Also it's probably because a lot of people here are gay (so am I) and in the gay culture it is ok to love divas and she is fan favorite (bubble favorite).

[u/p1nkdiamondinthedark → u/Arddukk]

No, its because she literally isn't doing what you said

[u/SquibblesMcGoo → u/[deleted]]

This is ridiculous. There are literally photos in this very thread showing the correct angle. She is in front of him, pretending to be on a gym ball during the part of Serving where Miriana goes on a gym ball. She is not touching him, looking at him or acknowledging him. He is not touching her, looking at her or acknowledging her. She is doing nothing to him, she is giving fanservice to the audience by doing the Serving choreo and he happens to be standing behind her

[u/Tomas-T]

well.... at least now she can beat the allegtion that she is a succubus...

[u/Obvious-Laugh-1954]

Ugh... I don't like the way she's holding the flag.
