not sure if anyone will see this, bcz I'm not tagging (as I don't want to use my take on this as a way to get reblogs or whatever. This is a serious issue) and I wasn't even planning on saying anything about this (as I normally keep my distance from those kinds of subjects and because I'm currently not that interested in qsmp anymore), but I feel like saying three specific things:
- unfortunately it is common for adults to date teenagers in Brazil and most people are ok with that. I personally always thought that was something gross asf but it does happen quite a lot here
- I am personally disappointed with the cc involved, I do not wish to see his content anymore and I fully understand people who are hurt by his statements and his tweets, as so do I. I also believe that the ccs who decided to distance themselves from him are on their right to do it.
- while I normally believe that people can get better and that we shouldn't held people accountable for past tweets from years ago, this is one thing that I personally can't forgive. Even if there weren't no victims and it was just stupid jokes.
That one Brazilian person in the tag with the very specific live experience from the SOUTHEST state in Brazil: Its not common that thing happens hereee even Brazilians were disgusted
Me, who has spent time in RIO, where Forever was living at the time, and all the way up in the northeast now, seeing this everyday and also having been flirted as a 15 yo by a 20 yo back in 2017 in front of a bunch of adults who did nothing bc it's common and as late as LAST YEAR seeing a college friend of mine allowing his 14 yo sister date a guy with 19 yo about to complete 20 yo: uh. Is ur life experience reeeeeeeaaaaally the true for all the country (who is the 5th biggest of the world?)
So uh. Yeah. Hi everyone. It's allowed here. It happens until this day. Only in late years such as 2020 forward that its been starting to getting controversial because ever since 2009, the year the law was created, any girl from 14-18 is "permitted" and seeked by 20-21 yo bc the law says its legal as long as theres not more than a 7 year gap between the two people. And yes, there's the "pedo" jokes. They're also common even if its allowed. I saw it happening around me all my high school years (even shit that SHOULDN'T be allowed such as a 18 yo making out with a 13 yo but no one did shit)
Yes, everyone has that slight ick that "dude, its allowed, but should you reeeaaaaally do it?" But its not damning in social circles. Lately, the discussion has been mainly in online spaces, because to people that aren't too sync with online discussion and just, go out and date and aren't chronically online, this isn't a problem. It keeps happening
So yeah. It's not a crime, the jokes are normal, and yes he should have been fucking decent and not feeding into the girls flirting with him since it was his responsibility to shut it off and don't answer. But yeah. Especially in 2016, it was really damn normal. It still is to this day
Sorry if this is messy, I'm stressed by a lot of stuff. Maybe I'll do a better post later, maybe not. Idk. Stay safe everyone
Props to Bagi and her team, Bagi discovered the other team's boats multiple times and just needed more missiles, and even when losing the Capybaras/Gooses gave it their all through every round. The event was fun as hell and it wouldn't be so without their effort👏
