Vittorio Feltri shock. He writes a delusional and bold tweet about the tortured girl for twenty hours a Sentiment terrace. Then, hastily, hit by a wave of anger, he is surprised and erases it: “We agree: Genovese must be condemned if he has raped. But – Feltri had written – he deserves a pinch of admiration: he fucked a girl for 20 hours, my record is six minutes gross ”. Obviously one remains incredulous.
And not for the rhetoric of the Mee too. But for the absolute lack of respect and decency. It would be enough to talk about the confusion between “Fuck” and “rape”, which are not and can never become two synonyms. And we must also mention the tweet with which the editorial director of Libero then tries to put a patch: “The average sense of humor on Twitter – Feltri writes – is equal to that of a boiled snail ”. But is it possible to make irony about a sexual violence that lasts for twenty hours?
The most disturbing thing, in this controversy, which has seen the founder of Libero submerged with insults on social media is a vision of the world (and sexuality) that that comment reveals. A truly archaic idea, which certainly is not just Feltri’s: that of prevarication as vainglory, as a performance, as a record. For this you can get to celebrate the violent vice of a rich sick man as if it were a business, and you lose sight of the fact that it is a rage against a stunned body through the drug of rape.
Who has read the order for indictment against Alberto Genovese, due to the facts of “Terrazza Sentimento”, unfortunately knows well the sadistic details of that torture: the state of constraint, the macabre ritual, the drug used as a tool to avoid escape. The desperation of the girl forced to flee – after the famous twenty hours – as if she were a kidnapped. The money that Genovese throws after her, with contempt, as if a violence could be cured with money.
All this imagery appears and flickers like a nightmare behind a light-hearted and almost goliardic tweet. But in this case the student spirit cannot be accepted: also because we know that if this rape had not been filmed (by its own author, moreover) the girl would have been accused of mythomania. This is why the Feltri case, today, is not a controversial detail that can be lost in the great sea of the web. It is a mistake that can only be corrected with an apology. An opinion that deserves disqualification.
