MBAPPE'S HARSH REACTION TO DICTATOR JOKES

"I feel that people do this with good intentions and for fun. However, we know what kind of devastation such people have caused in history. Being compared to people who murdered others and ruined the lives of millions... I don't think I have ever done anything like that in my life. Even if it is meant as a joke, it shows how unconscious people are about political or humanitarian issues," began French star Kylian Mbappe, clearly expressing his discomfort with the 'dictator' labels on social media. The successful footballer, who has recently been subjected to 'dictator' edits and jokes on the internet due to his influential position and power within the club, argued that although this situation seems like innocent fun, it actually has a serious subtext. Mbappe stated that being mentioned in the same sentence, even jokingly, with historical figures who caused the death and suffering of millions of people reflects society's superficial perspective on history and politics. Expressing that he is only focused on playing his football on the pitch and has never taken any action that would harm people in his life, the star player pointed out that this kind of humor crosses the line. At a time when players in the football world generally prefer to remain silent on social media trends, Mbappe's delivery of such a deep and social message made a great impact, proving his sensitivity to human values.
