In the middle of the World Cup, Emiliano Ríos, a Mexican content creator, decided to post “tips” for winning over foreign women who traveled to Mexico. He already talked about Korean, Spanish, Czech, and Colombian women, as if women were sections in a tourist catalog. 😣
Among his advice: give them fruit, lie about your job to make it seem like you earn more, offer gold and tequila.
The criticism came quickly. Many users said this type of content normalizes seeing female tourists as “targets” and not as women who are there to enjoy a sporting event.
After the controversy, Emiliano claimed it was “humor”, but many didn’t believe him. Because when the joke sounds like harassment with instructions, maybe the problem isn’t that people don’t get the joke. 🤨
