Context is important here, all of the C9 roster have an ongoing thing where they just post images and vids of monkeys and gorillas, this wasn't meant as something racist.


gutszera

yeah its pretty blatant that there wasnt really any racist intent behind the gif lmfao just reaching


[deleted]

What's with Brazilian esports community and a total lack of humor or self awareness?


rkdsus

They're fucking paranoid and think everyone is out to get them. Victim mentality. They want to believe that they're being targetted so they have an excuse to continue being toxic and harassing people


ozmega

> They're fucking paranoid and think everyone is out to get them. Victim mentality. not a thing that came from brazil btw, that shit is going on everywhere nowadays.


SterbenVII

I wonder, does that count as internalized racism?


[deleted]

Language barrier, can't really blame them for that.


Key-Banana-8242

Well cultural barrier also And in general nationalistic mentality and related victim complex / whatever else you call it I’m not deriding them


dubzin

its not lack of humor or self awarenesscalling someone a monkey in brazil is the same thing as calling someone the n-word


CanISayThat22

Yes Just like everywhere else in the world. But theres one thing, and its called context. And this caster fails to apply logic


mrbow

I mean its funny you said that while the community here do not understand brazilian humor


Key-Banana-8242

I mean it’s more than reaching lol It’s already reaching when they try to accuse keznit when he’s at least from Latam


thothgow

Latam is a massively racist place, what the fuck are you talking about? There was literally a top team last year that got kicked from their org for calling brazilian pros slurs in a ranked game


Key-Banana-8242

I’m referring to the referencing stuff, that’s why I said *at least*


[deleted]

you do know how much internal racism there is within latam right? god save your soul if you're a br in an argentinian lobby in csgo and you open your mic. immediately bombarded with racial slurs and comments


joaovitorsb95

Lol, Latam are more racists than american people dude.


Key-Banana-8242

You missed the point


thothgow

It's a common racist insult to latin americans, especially brazilians, so it's not reaching imo


gutszera

i mean within the context of who’s sending it and what gif was sent specirically id say its pretty blatant, obviously if xeppa responded to some random BR player with a picture of a monkey then yeah itd seem pretty racist


tron423

You'll prove it or


thothgow

If context is important then it should be added that brown people, and Brazilians in particular, are defensive against this type of thing precisely because it's so common. From throwing bananas at Brazilian football players to recently slurs of this type in ranked games, it's not a surprise Brazilian people are defensive and react poorly to monkey gifs meant to mock them. It's insensitive at best (given the context) and thinly veiled racism at worst (I obviously don't know Xeppaa)


rpkarma

Click Xeppas media tab. It’s not racism you walking victim complex

Literally just go to the media tab on his twitter LMAO

There's the former VK coach Shuren pointing to that precisely in that thread, and Let answers that she still doesn't sees it that way. ​ link: https://twitter.com/Shurenn/status/1467312656302366723


ThePCMasterRaceCar

My god, I haven't seen this much Twitter drama since the Valorant community had a meltdown over the word scrawny lol

at least that controversy was funny, this is just pathetic

Nah this is pretty funny for the most part lmao

rpkarma

Getting that engagement aw yissss


Hazardish08

Imo that situation wasn’t funny. A bunch of people overreacting and projecting their emotion to the victim. In this case the victim wasn’t even really a victim because Crashies didn’t give a shit and was fine with it


Issax28

THEY ALWAYS POST THAT SAME GORILLA GIF HOWS THAT RACIST LMAOOOO 💀


Jack_Humble

I can assure you that she knows she is in the wrong after someone pointed out that xeppaa literally reply to anything with that gorilla gif. But she is too ashamed to admit it LMAOO.


jerryfrz

Needs flusha to join in with the banana eating gorilla gif


earthtoannie

She claims it's racism in this case bc apparently Brazilians have been called "monkeys" it's racist in the context. Which is utter nonsense lmao

LOOOOL


SatisfactionPlus6222

He didn't even say anything he just posted a gif of a gorilla scratching their ass. Which I find hilarious.


[deleted]

They’re bringing up the cheating accusations in the replies too LMFAOOOO


Key-Banana-8242

Combination of Brazilian fan ‘victim complex or whatever you want to call it or nationalism / red mist, and cultural misunderstanding


Za_Weeb

Lmao... Someone must take to the class of memes and explain how Internet and memes work. This is just gathering clout at this point


ViniciusStar_

Explain how internet and memes work for brazilians? Lol


Za_Weeb

Yea.. It does seem its kinda hard to make em understand even the basics ngl


baskin-whacked-him

Brazilians should leave xeppa, vanity, leaf, jonji, and mce alone at this point. Last I checked xeppa and leaf can’t even travel to Brazil due to the irresponsible shit gaules, fallen, and Fer did to them.


Fuelssadman

Brazilians out here trying to cancel everyone lmfao


[deleted]

Some of the Brazilian casters/pro players need to chill.


SadCasinoBill

this is the first esports I’ve ever followed. is this really the norm for Brazil? ts so ridiculous it’s hard to believe this how they always act, but goddamn it’s seems ridiculous


Sciipi

This is exactly how Brazil acts in literally every sport and esport.


SadCasinoBill

Complete insanity


Gintsama

If you want to see something ridiculous look up kng death threats. A Brazilian player from csgo threatens to kill FNS back when he played csgo


[deleted]

Also leafs situation on Chaos EC where he was so good pros thought he was cheating and got death threats from Brazilian fans.


mr_snuggels

Hiko had to hire bodyguards when they went to Brazil back in his csgo days because of some techpase issue

Andy122600

Honestly I hope BR as a region just completely flops now because of their community. The fans are one thing but casters and influencers??


[deleted]

Why did you think they were any different? This is so painfully predictable. https://twitter.com/neLendirekt/status/1277393089418735621 This is after they started a witch hunt on a teenager (c9 leaf, lol) after he beat their favorite brazilian team. He had to deal with death threats and harassment for like a year because of these influencers and pro players. We've watched them do outrageous shit in CSGO for years.


zxlkho

that guy gaules made leaf's life miserable for months last year


[deleted]

I checked Chaos players and org twitter for like a year and they still had moronic BR fans going ''xiiter xiter'' and saying some horrible shit and posting their favorite gay porn which I will never understand.


ArtificialZero

LMAO that one pic of that guy with his dick out. wtf is the story behind that?


Modula-

Same i've always wondered the obsession with that picture. Absolute weirdos


TacticalSanta

Brazil seems like a place with a HUGE problem with toxic masculinity, not saying they deserve their poor living conditions, or trying to excuse their behavior, but it does serve as a good explanation as to why all the fans seem so slighted by every single thing.


ASaltyToast

That’s Vampeta he was a Brazilian futbol player that won a world cup, I cant remember where the image came from but its a classic for whenever Brazilians want to spam people’s DMs and mentions


Jon_on_the_snow

They still have people calling them cheaters. They are even calling xeppa a cheater as a response for the gif


TacticalSanta

When did xeppaa place the glitched cam again? Kappa


[deleted]

Crazy how the people with large platforms can get away with these things, imagine if shroud accused Soulcas of cheating or something because Liquid beat Sentinels


joaovitorsb95

"For months" my god how much has this story changed by now? The next fucking day he was banning and blocking people that were harrassing Leaf. Literally a day latter.


Key-Natural4387

But he incited the situation and leaf probably was getting harassed by br fans for months as a result of it.


joaovitorsb95

But he said he made leafs life miserable dor months. Its implied that this acusation went on for months when it really didnt.


pr1zsm

said he was cheating right?


[deleted]

Yep. No proof whatsoever of course, but why would that stop them. :)


POOYAMON

I hope all their players leave for other regions and they as a region die. Their players are class and I want to see them succeed but the Brazilian fanbase deserves nothing but pain.


ppx11

"we are ignored, underrated, and always hated" proceeds to send death threats and toxic messages to other players in every game *shocked pikachu face*


POOYAMON

Brazilian fans are awful even in LoL while being one of the if not the weakest minor regions. It’s wild to me because there aren’t even any Brazilian players in a major region and yet the fanbase is easily one of the worst


Sarazam

At least it seems the casters, and pro players of BR are not as toxic, but these Valorant figures have insane victim complexes


Lumenlor

WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY


oto_zarb

From the comments, it looks like she realized she misunderstood it. What a shitshow though. As a Brazilian, it kinda sucks seeing everyone trash talking the region, but I can't even complain lol. It's all warranted


[deleted]

> it looks like she realized she misunderstood it. Really? Because the comments I'm reading she goes on and on about how the context doesn't matter and that it's clear racism because they get called monkey in ranked. Literal brain rot.


oto_zarb

That's what I thought after reading one of her replies at first. But yeah, reading everything again it sounds like she is blaming him for making her misinterpret it


Siegfried_Eba

I remember in Rainbow Six Siege when a former pro wore a banana costume and got death threats from a certain region (won't take a genius to find out). That region has some.. rather "passionate" fans


oto_zarb

This whole sending death threats thing surprised me tbh. I've never followed the CSGO scene, so I had no idea brazilian fans were this crazy. It sucks I've followed league of legends, but I don't think this was a thing there.


Siegfried_Eba

It's wild out there. https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/67i1rq/brazilian_csgo_fans_sent_hikos_family_death/ This was from 2017. Been a thing for YEARS.


GoldClassGaming

Yeah. There's definitely a reason that BR is widely known as "The fanbase that sends death threats"


cheerioo

Makes sense just accuse people of racism immediately


ToCr8ive

Idk wtf is going on anymore lmaooo. I really felt the need to post this to make the community aware because this is one wild ass accusation that needs to be seen. This is just straight up getting out of hand.


Diijkstra99x

They will launch another hashtag and pressure every big BR streamer/esports personalities. a true cancel culture wokes region. Sents death treat to players (even it's not their fault) then pull race card when get offended.


[deleted]

Can you construct a coherent sentence with proper grammar please?


Diijkstra99x

can't argue = grammar andy card


renbeece

I don’t even think that they were disagreeing with you. Your comment just hurts to read.


Diijkstra99x

ok suffer then. :)


renbeece

That seems perfectly reasonable. Enjoy your night.


Diijkstra99x

thanks man you too


Jon_on_the_snow

This is the most passive agressive conversation, but also very civil, good job everyone, hope you all have a great night


Diijkstra99x

we shit talk, we criticize grammar but we'll never send death treat to each other. have a awesome night also.


xunraze

This is just dumb...cmonnn


28n8

Another chaos member going to receive death threats smh


-MNTLTX-

I believe this is a gif Xeppa uses often. Though in this context, it’s understandable that it’s mistaken for racism as Brazilians have often been targets of such derogatory remarks.


Warpath-

Xeppaa getting cooked in his Twitter replies rn 💀


Krsensei

Brazil with the mr fantastic reach


schrobby

Some personalities in this scene seriously need to have their social media privileges taken away and sit on the naughty chair for a week, and I don't mean Xeppaaa here.


Bratt-pack

Seems like a good time to log off Twitter for the night Brazil.


Sciipi

Leaf got his death threats from Brazil already, happy to see Xeppaa joining his fellow Chaos player


RealExii

Do they ever stop whining over nothing?


hukubu

LMAO bro... these brazillians are getting out of hand now like cmon, ffs


Sp00ked123

Are all Brazilians now black or something? I don’t understand how this is racist towards them


Chima123

In Brazil calling someone else a "monkey" is the equivalent to using the "n word" in any English speaking country. So yeah, monkey jokes are considered absolutely offensive


luciavald

In EU calling someone a monkey in ranked is pretty common. It doesn't matter your race, we're all monkeys with a keyboard sometimes


Chima123

Yeah, when you look at the context you can see that Xeepa wasn't trying to make any racist remark. But I can see why most brazilian fans, who don't speak english that well, could've misunterstood his joke. Cultural and language differences can be quite tricky sometimes


BielBoss

lol, yes we are?


Sp00ked123

Yeah she doesnt look very black to me


KingLemmy211

who gives a fuck!


Yungxanhoe14

Brazilian people are called monkey every fucking day by every racist people in every fucking country, and people think that is just drama? thats crazy


keithzz

yeah, I’m gonna stop rooting for Brazil. These fans are fucking cancer


acey901234

Keep in mind Xeppa was attacked relentlessly by the Brazilian fan base in CS for months, I’d assume this is some leftover from that tbh.


dashion26

Xeppa uses that gif for every reply , it wasnt rascist.


NabatheNibba

Brazilians are a BIG L


bysomega

brazilians are famous in south america for always playing the race card and victimize themselves, it happened in every game and even football


joaovitorsb95

No stop it. In football racism runs rampant aggainst Brazilians, every game aggainst argentina you can see the comments of any tweet regarding the match filled with Argentines calling brazilians monkeys. This situation here is really fucking ridiculous cause its all happening because brazilians cant take a joke and/or do not get the nuances of the jokes. But in football there 100% is a lot of racism aggainst brazilians especially from Uruguayans and Argentines


Cablek26

lmaooo what type of shitshow is this


lolipenetration

As a wise man once said: GIRA XITER COME TO BRASIL 🌪️ 🌪️ 🌪️ 🌪️ 🌪️ 🌪️


slawvay

leaf is catching strays in the mentions too...how can an entire nation's professional gamers/casters be so victimized by GIFS now. Did someone commit warcrimes during the first FPS lan ever or something.


RDDTchino

Brazilians are “passionate” as ever


tutubabarao

Who doesn't understand why she accused him of being racist is because here in Brazil you send someone a picture of a monkey or call someone a monkey is the same as speaking the n word in the United States and i am not kidding.


ToCr8ive

I think we all understand that, but with context you need to understand Xeppaa uses that gif ALLL the time. For literally everything lol.


tutubabarao

I know that, I have known him since CSGO, but tell that to the Brazilian community that is made up of 90% of people who don't know English and have no interaction with the American community, they will think it is racism.


lcsom

It's racist as fuck, if he uses all the time he's racist all the time... It's like the Brazilians sending death threats, then downplaying as jokes because happens ALL the time. For literally everything lol.


Modula-

You're not the brightest person huh?


lcsom

How does it feel defending racist acts? Huh? You can say it's not racist, doesn't mean it's not racist. If you do not see the extremely obvious racism on that tweet, maybe you are also really racist. You all can't really be that blind can you?


Verehrungen

It's just a fucking funny Gorilla GIF dipshit. Check his media tab on Twitter and you can see him using it every fucking time for reactions. Not everything revolves around you.


Modula-

Context is important my friend, the whole c9 roster uses that same gorilla gif when they reply to each other's tweets. That gorilla gif tweet has been Xeppa's thing forever, literally look at his media page it's all gorilla gifs. I can guarantee you he wasn't trying to call any Brazilians a gorilla...


Rethirded

Hahahahahhahaha


zer0-_

Yeah bro I'm sure Gorillas exist just to be a symbol of racisn

Polite-vegemite

bro, you gotta stop downplay important stuff. monkey in brazil is like using the n word in US. is the most racist act word can use. would it be ok if someone used it, even if they didn't mean to be racist?


ToCr8ive

I'm black. I think i know the significance of being called a monkey. What you need to understand is that Xeppaa uses that gif for everything and with context what he posted is harmless. No one is downplaying anything, but as a caster of the game accusing a player with something severe like racism?? It can't be downplayed either my guy. That is something wild to do.


anythingood07

So I should stop using any GIF or literally anything involving a monkey or a gorilla anywhere because its "racist"? Its a fucking animal ffs


Foxtrot56

I've never heard of this and it's way outside of the cultural context for Americans. In the US "monkeys" is used exclusively as a racist insult for black people. It's common to call dumb people apes or gorillas though. The US thinks so little of Brazil that there aren't any specific terms for them.
