There is no other case as discussed as Robinho at this time. I remember seeing the writer Ariano Suassuna, at a memorable conference in Niterói, some ten years ago, citing Robinho as an example of Brazilian joy and genius. The world plays tricks.
The disclosure of audios, a result of the investigation of the gang rape case for which Robinho was convicted, is not just a frustration, it has become something bigger and worse, with the way the audios reveal that the player trivialized the episode.
But my article does not deal specifically with these audios. The article is about how, in a short audio in which he seeks to demonstrate tranquility and security, Robinho uses the name of God at least six times. It seems to give an air of normality while showing that it is guided by “Christian values.”
Using strongly evangelical Christian language, Robinho illustrates in a sadly exemplary way how God can mean nothing more than a device to demonize opponents, counter criticism, and demonstrate superiority.
“These guys are not going to affect me, because God is in control of everything,” says Robinho. What makes Robinho “unenforceable”? What do you refer to as “everything” that would be under God’s control, in the face of the dehumanizing abuse in which you participated without control, with your friends?
“These guys are people used by the devil.” Yes, it is also common to demonize criticism, or who questions their practices. If the people who criticize Robinho for his irritating and mocking speech about the case were used by the devil, who used Robinho and his friends in an episode where a woman is collectively abused?
“Because in the desert, it is in these attacks that you approach God, that you prepare yourself.” The persecution narrative consists of projecting oneself as the victim of hostility, envy, or plot. Not in vain his reference example is Jair Bolsonaro.
The paradigm of improvement and “preparation” by God makes sense for Robinho to be someone who attacks journalists almost daily, makes a prejudiced and sexist joke on video with a 10-year-old girl, and tells a woman that she deserved to be raped for being raped. ugly.
I can’t help but think how interesting it is that people who boast of language designed to boast of “respect for morals” and “respect for Christian principles” identify with the president and his “fight” against the coming persecution. of leftists, journalists, Rede Globo or “people used by the devil.”
The audios show a Robinho without coercion, without regrets, without regrets. Nothing that indicates disturbance for having been part of a gang rape situation. The player is comfortable with the knowledge that there is no way to demonstrate direct involvement. It’s just.
“God will give victory. May God’s purpose be fulfilled in my life,” said Robinho. Definitely, it is not possible to find normal this ease of using the name of God while trivializing respect for the life of another person, compacting and making fun of the abuse of their vulnerable condition.
