The world of social networks can be very fun and glamorous, but it has another side. Anything that is said or done is left for later, and it is very easy to end up immersed in the odd controversy. The influencer Paula Gonu knows it, who is already a veteran on the scene, since she has more than 2 million followers on her Instagram profile. However, this seniority has not freed her from a new controversy. The Catalan has been harshly criticized on social networks after mentioning the Andalusian accent of the Malaga streamer Illo Juan.
The truth is that IlloJuan has conquered Twitch viewers in recent months. His naturalness, sympathy and humor have captivated thousands and thousands of followers who connect to the platform every day to watch his live shows. The man from Fuengirola continues to be one of the most followed Spanish-speaking streamers and is among the streamer of the year nominees with relative normality. Paula Gonu has spoken precisely about this success, who in an attempt to praise her work, has ended up embroiled in a controversy on social networks. link
The Catalan has gone viral with a video in which she talks about the Andalusian accent as if it were hard to understand, and that was a plus to recognize the success of the content creator. The young woman intends to highlight the good work of the man from Malaga on her platforms, but things don’t go as she expected. “The merit of being a person named IlloJuan who from home and having 40K people watching how you speak Andalusian and surely 70% of people don’t even understand him, that has merit. And every day the same… For me that has a lot of merit, ”said the influencer.
The video has gone viral and is revolutionizing the networks, becoming a ‘trending topic’ on Twitter and garnering a large number of comments among Internet users, who do not understand how the influencer could have made this comment. “There are many of these, who later abuse ‘laísmo’ and ‘dequeísmo’ and go on giving lessons. Of 500 million Spanish speakers, 450 speak Andalusian Spanish, since our grandmothers were the ones who emigrated to America. And the best poets and writers of 98 and 27, Andalusians”, expresses a user, visibly enraged.
“That there are streamers speaking Swedish, Hungarian or Dutch will be amazing to you. Or that there are 9 million Andalusians. And we don’t know how to speak a single one”, expressed another user on the platform. “Not that he spoke in German”, can be read in another tweet. “I wish that no Andalusian could understand Paula Gonu’s bullshit,” says another Internet user. “Paula Gonu saying that what a merit to be Illojuan, from her home, having 40k people watching it (so far so good) until she blurts out: ‘on top of that speaking in Andalusian that 70% sure don’t even understand it’… WHATEEEEEEEEEEEE?” , says another tweeter.
