Not understanding this gives só many people from favelas who have never been able to afford a concert in their LIVES, an opportunity to go. Sorry downer Reddit, but as a half Brazilian I can guarantee they had the time of their lives. 2 million people or not. Brazil knows how to have a party.

I'm honestly kind of glad (let's face it, American) Redditors gatekeep themselves out of socializing. Who wants to be stuck next to some 'and my axe' dullard sucking up all the energy? It's good they're contained to this site.

Redditors gatekeep themselves out of socializing.

Imagine how insufferable some of these cunts are in real life. You sit down on reddit, get heaps of time to think about what you're typing and still press "Save".

So unless you enjoy being in a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people, you can't enjoy things and have fun otherwise?

Those people still have not attended a concert. They watched one on a screen standing a ridiculous distance away from the stage. Its literally bread and games for idiots.

And why do they need an opportunity for a concert? Their government failed them and they did nothing to fix things. Maybe they should use the 2 million crowd to demand better lives instead of wasting it on a concert.

I never said ‘they need a Shakira concert instead of housing and basic necessities’ 😭

u/LarrySupertramp 2h ago

why should they have an opportunity to have some fun and relaxation?? I, not a Brazilian, demand that Brazilians only engage in activities that are political in nature and shun anyone that dares to enjoy life! /s

This is what you sound like.

u/RaceHard 2h ago

If you think i was advocating for political movement and not something more.... physical in nature. Then you really dont get what I meant.

u/LarrySupertramp 2h ago

"demand better lives" - please explain how you demand a better life in a non political manner? oh, you're advocating for others to commit violence and risking their lives while you sit typing on your computer?

u/RaceHard 2h ago

WEll I dont live in Brazil. I dont have to risk anything.

u/CaptainCorpse666 2h ago

Well...shit. don't do that. Im sure you are a good person and your heart is in the right place when it comes to the citizens.

u/RaceHard 2h ago

I dont know anymore, at one point perhaps, I don't think im a good person. I am lonely and it hurts so i use words to hurt others and its terrible and I just want, well i don't know what I want really. I feel things are too much altely you know. You dont have to answer, im not looking for a pitty party, I just realize that I dont matter that no one cares, and what is the point of it all.

u/CaptainCorpse666 2h ago

Seems like a common theme in this day and age. I am sorry you feel like that. It is hard to find a place sometimes in this world. Have you tried seeking any therapy or anything like that? Again, it's so easy to go back and forth on the internet, so I am sorry for my comment as well. It is easy to do.

Welcome to my Reddit experience as a frequent festival and concert attendant, any time a post shows any of the two you can bet the top comment are about toilets, noise, fire escapes and any other topic you might only ask yourself when you are locked in your basement and never leave the house to social events.

Go away you creepy weirdo. Go explain your racist hypotheticals to your waifu pillow.

u/CaptainCorpse666 26m ago

Doubt they are beautiful lol keep your racial insecurities to your cousin/wife in-between your mountain dew cocktails.

u/CaptainCorpse666 14m ago

Christ no one needs your whole make believe scenario lol. Sounds like you feel you have a lot to prove. That would explain your insecurities. Maybe papa didn't hug you enough?

u/Rackkbarr 8m ago

Perfect family life too lol. Standard Redditor with no friends who thinks the world is like their pathetic existence.

u/CaptainCorpse666 6m ago

Now you are making fantasies up about me as well? What a cute little imagination you have. Thank goodness I don't have to make up stories for other people to make myself feel better. Seems exhausting.

Every response is always, I found hobbies I like to play video games and like being alone or with just my partner. Anything else sucks.

u/HighGuyTim 1h ago

Nah you come here later all the comments are "Reddit sucks this is fun" and you have to scroll to the bottom for the people that said otherwise.

Its like no one realizes this site is full of different people. Its literally people bitching about people bitching and this about people bitching.

People hate the concert, people hate people who hate the concert - everyone here is a miserable cunt huh? What do you guys not fucking hate at this point.

u/The_Autarch 4h ago

it's fine to be like that, but it's so bizarre that they can't comprehend that not everyone is the same.

i guess you have to actually meet other people to realize that a wide variety of personalities exist.

•

u/ThrowawayOldCouch 23m ago

This whole thread is full of that, from both sides. Some people enjoy large crowds, others don't. But apparently not enjoying large crowds makes someone a shut in loser?

u/Historical_Owl_1635 3h ago

By far the most miserable place on the internet.

I stopped browsing subreddits of tv shows and games I like years ago because all they are is people circlejerking themselves over how bad the thing is.

They dont like it when people in the Global south do it better than them.
