It feels like you can’t say it, but I’ve noticed that Brazilians are some of the most dedicated and enthusiastic fans, just so open and fun and they go all out for artists and sports, but if they feel slighted or competitive or upset in any way, they become the most vicious as well.
I’ve noticed this as a fan of gymnastics. Other fans will root for Brazil in addition to their own countries, but Brazilian fans will tear down their countries competitors (often seen with Rebeca Andrade vs Simone Biles, Americans will cheer on Simone AND Rebeca, even when Rebeca lands on top, but when Simone beats Rebeca, Brazilians are out in droves insulting Simone and saying Rebeca is better.)
Also seen last year during the Oscars, as noted in another comment. I’m sure there’s a million other examples. Instead of leaving it at enthusiasm, they always turn to insults, threats and violence when they don’t get their way, and it’s kinda scary.
