I never liked BBB for somewhat obvious reasons. I even participated in a reality show on MTV whose prize was a job and the format was a little different from the global one. We worked during the week to present a television program produced by us, the participants, every Saturday. When you're already inside and you realize that the entire country is making positive or negative judgments about you, without even knowing where you come from, what your story is and why you're there, it makes you want to run away.
You can feel the feeling of vulnerability with a touch of sadism in the air. But of course everything has its pros and cons and I had mine and I don't regret it. However, I, who hadn't watched television for a long time, gradually got closer when Folha On Line journalist, Sérgio Ripardo, who is also a contributor to Dykerama, asked me to write a statement about the possibility of a dyke on BBB.
I wrote it, but the text was never published because the pseudo-psychiatrist Marcelo soon decided to admit his homosexuality and everyone thought he would be the only one in the house who had relationships with people of the same sex. Of course, after that I distanced myself again, until the moment when the press spotlight turned to Thati and speculation began again.
I followed along again as the mineiro's jabs towards Brasiliense became more frequent and, from then on, I didn't miss the episodes anymore because I wanted to feel how far he would go with the judgments and arrogance of those who ride on on top of a profession that is there to heal and do good for people and not to be used as a cheap weapon to humiliate participants in a television game. I fear for this citizen's career and, above all, for his future patients. I also fear for Thati, who has every right in the world not to want to share her sexuality with the entire country or at least to choose who to share it with.
However, she has just been forced to do so for free in a completely contradictory attitude that demonstrates the distance between the masculine and feminine worlds in the gay world as well. Speaking of free, what is Marcelo's favorite film? The one whose shirt he has already worn several times in the game: A Clockwork Orange, a cinema classic that addresses gratuitous violence. Is any similarity a mere coincidence?
From today onwards, I will start my campaign in favor of Thati, who, in addition to being a strong candidate to become a symbol of lesbian and/or bisexual visibility in the media (which does not yet exist and could make people treat the subject with more normality and less hypocrisy), deserves to earn a million after these weekly sessions of invasiveness and aggression he received. Worse, the game for her has only just begun. She still needs to get out of confinement and catch up on everything that is being talked about out here.
I ask again: Is any similarity a mere coincidence? Anyone who has watched the classic or experienced a situation similar to the “Marcelos” out there knows the ending of this film.
