A few hours before the kick-off of the long-awaited Popcorn Festival, the war rages on Twitter around a Ponce joke that does not win unanimous support.
Everything seems to be smiling at Popcorn, Domingo’s sweet and salty talk show, whose very first festival, which is about to open its doors, is already a resounding success.
After being there every Tuesday evening for almost 3 years, fans of the show were eager for the virtual to become concrete. So when the Popcorn Festival box office opened, it was robbed in just a few minutes.
The queue is forming!

Nothing seems able to tarnish the enthusiasm of Internet users in the face of such an event. However, a few hours before the doors opened, shadows darkened the picture as one of the columnists, Ponce, received an outcry on Twitter.
A joke that is hard to pass
While for 48 hours the photos around the Popcorn Festival have been multiplying on the web, there is one that has received a mixed reception. On D-2, Ponce staged himself in front of the sign for the town of Montcuq, a schoolboy joke was not unanimous.
While many Internet users laughed at it, saying to themselves that someone had to make this joke, others considered this joke to be heartbreaking, criticizing the streamer’s humor. Very quickly the Ponce hashtag found itself among the top trends of the day as the debate raged on Twitter.
One day I will talk about Ponce, Etoile, Locklear… all these streamers without talent, without humor, without personality and who earn thousands of euros per month https://t.co/QWsQjQrGHQ

The Heineken humor of a far-right individual who goes crazy naked to make (person) laugh after 0.25 grams of alcohol in the blood https://t.co/ZOdMPyc9Vk

Hello, I’m part of the (often silent) majority who likes to live and enjoy, who doesn’t care about the sourness of the networks and who will share a great time with Ponce and 4000 parapotes in Montcuq tonight. The rest doesn’t count ?

It must be frustrating not having anything to reproach someone you hate but who hasn’t done anything wrong, except that “it’s not funny”
It’s the Twitter microcosm, there’s a minority that wants blood, but once again it changes absolutely nothing in my life and my projects!— Pumice (@poncefleur) July 2, 2022
After explaining that this joke had been advised to him by a resident of the city, Ponce declared that for his part he will not be affected by this outcry which will not change “absolutely nothing to my life and my projects”.
