Would you guys call me a spoilsport if I said I don't like the "come to brazil" meme and wish ppl would stop talking about partying & beaches & bikinis whenever they try to "compliment" brazilian culture. 👉🏻👈🏻?

#aghh look it just doesn't sit right with me #it's literally just stereotypes #they might as well say 'stereotyped rio de janeiro' whenever they talk abt brazil like this #bc brazil is a massive country with an array of cultures #and I live far in the brazilian south which is very different from são paulo and rio de janeiro #so it feels even more alienating whenever I see any artists/musicians talking abt brazil #you don't love brazil my man jfjckkc you love this one tiny little tourist corner of it with copacabana and a big christ statue #also abt the come to brazil meme. I can like. tolerate it #but I've seen some ppl use it to be xenophobic online so it just kinda rubs me the wrong way now #sleep.txt #tbh I get this feeling that you're not supposed to say when something like this bothers you bc you're supposed to be #'grateful for the attention'#but like aghgk man idk. it does bother me. I just wanted to talk about it #like ok. imagine someone saying they love the usa #but whenever they talk about it you slowly realize they're just talking about las vegas #and then you're wondering why they're talking as if your entire country is just las vegas #you get what I mean?? that's kind of how it feels to me
