people always overreact to death threats from brazilian fans, it seems "death threats" arent as serious culturally in brazil than in the rest of the world and they don't necessarily mean to be that toxic
its indeed a shitty behavior. What i can say is its hard to explain this more on the logical side. We, brazilians, are much more emotional invested at ours hobbies, teams, famility etc than most populations, maybe this explains our sucess on many things like football, volei etc although lack of investment. If you ever go to close to south america, i would recommend you to go in a brazilian soccer match, specially if its between big rivals, maybe once you feel the energy of the crowd, you can understand it better
Actually is much bigger than that. I would say that is all come from brazilians being much more emotional invested than avarage. This leads very good side like having maybe the best crowd in the world, bigger will to do things than avarage, has a good hospitality, makes big connections with people. However, theres the bad part that when something goes wrong all that energy is invested of bad things like fights, death threats etc. Im not trying to justify these types of actions, which im against, just want to show for non-brazilians how things works around here
Here in Brazil is kind of common soccer fans from rivals teams to go into a physical fight, many times leading to people dying in the process, so when you talk about sports in general, death threats after a team loss or something similar are on the lighter spectrum of possibilities, though 99.99% of them are just people angry and they wont do nothing
EDIT: I personally think that actions like death threats are something awfull to do and should never be tolerated, should, actually, depending on the case, be treated as criminal act. My point here is to try to show how thinks works
You can be xenophobic against one region only. You don't need to be xenophobic against every other country, you know right?
Brazillians, Indians and Turkeys get the worst treatment here just because we want to support our teams. The other countries get butthurt and started talking shit. We talk back. The other two don't, indians started creating threads about being ashamed of being indian here.
Imagine saying 'oh these threats mean nothing, they are mostly harmless and it's our culture and we are passionate so just ignore'
Lmao this is why no one outside of the br region likes br fans and the br community.
Giving death threats because br region is passionate, bro c'mon other regions are as passionate if not more, it's just we can take a loss and not act like complete morons
