By the way while rewatching this fight and making this video, I REALLY noticed how Naoya Inoue makes so many EXTREME mistakes
Like I’m genuinely shocked he hasn’t been knocked out cold by how reckless he is at times 😭

@Omegalex93 @VintageValour @arnoldwh Hey don't get offended it's just a joke. Aren't you used to it already? It's your culture after all. Chill.
English

First, thank you to the fans in Brazil for the incredible support. It’s amazing to see fans who couldn’t get tickets still wait outside in the sun for hours just for a chance to see their favorite players.
Regarding the situation: the streamer reached out to apologize to Chovy. We were clear to him that this crossed the line which he acknowledged as this wasn’t fair play or banter given the language barrier, and that the tweet immediately after a player gives his time for an interview missed the mark, which he also agreed.
We as a team have decided we will move forward and focus on the tournament.

@Andrezhii @arnoldwh It's normal for you to be mean to your players. Doesn't mean players from outside your country need to stand your jokes
English

@vinizadaTT @arnoldwh Sounds like that streamer only cares about t1 and it's funny that t1 is not even in the event
English

@arnoldwh Even if the intention was just a joke and not malicious, we Brazilians agree with you and apologize for what happened. We love Chovy and Gen G; in our culture, this is common. We don't want you to feel disrespected, I'm sure that wasn't the intention, Brazil loves you.
English

@cassiofb_dev @Fuji_Mitsuki @Omegalex93 @arnoldwh Guess what now he's famous in china and Korea. For insulting chovy. No one cares about your joking culture outside your country to be honest. The players are guests when you are hosting the event
English

@Fuji_Mitsuki @Omegalex93 @arnoldwh but baiano is a streamer in brazil that got famous by making jokes and even heavy jokes with players. I really dont know why people got so pissed about this.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷 English

@paulo0258369 @brentponce_ @Omegalex93 You make a joke about it and you are fine. When others do, I doubt it. Cblol is a joke to asian audience but we won't say that in your face
English

@brentponce_ @Omegalex93 The streamer went too far, but Brazilians themselves make jokes about the 7-1 defeat; no Brazilian would be offended by someone making a joke about it, we'd join in the banter.
English

@Omegalex93 @VintageValour @arnoldwh You are being ridiculous. Your country is hosting the event and chovy is the one being interviewed. You are asking him to respect your culture instead? I find it funny because you guys will never ever win worlds as long as asians are playing. Cblol is simply a joke here lol
English

I totally agree with what you said: respect for cultures is mutual, and a joke is only a joke if both sides find it funny. Asian culture has its differences, and we need to respect that.But the same goes the other way: you guys need to respect our culture and our customs too.
In Brazil, heavy banter, memes, and indirect roasts are just part of everyday life, even with people we admire. It's not about ego, it's just how we express ourselves.
The biggest effort to meet in the middle should come from the visitors when they're in our territory, in an event with a Brazilian co-stream.
During the interview itself, Baiano was super respectful: he waited for the translator, asked chat to send love to Chovy, kept praising the guy the whole time. The popcorn bucket was there from the start of the stream (it wasn't placed in his face), and for us Brazilians it's just light meme stuff.The part that really went too far was the tweet afterward, with the photo + caption doubling down on the joke.
That was a timing and international reach mistake, and Baiano owned it: he apologized to Chovy, Arnold, and Gen.G, called them personally, and deleted the post. He handled it well.Respect goes both ways: we calibrate to avoid offending, but expecting Brazilians to turn 100% formal just because there's a Korean involved is ignoring that the event is happening here. Meeting in the middle means both sides move closer, not just one bending over.
English

@baianolol1 You are finally famous now you piece of s. Even in China. So what chovy has never won worlds? He's still one of the greatests already. Quit your racist sh*t to yourself and that's why t1 fans are fing annoying
English

@jk_rowling Yes, and Imane is a woman so enjoys human rights too. Why are you not fighting for her rights as well?
English

@AlastairMcA30 @jk_rowling Intersex people? Why should we allow intersex or men to beat up women? What about fairness? You get to win because you got a pair?
English

@jk_rowling You started off being awful to trans people.
Now you’ve moved to intersex people.
Maybe… stop being awful to people who don’t fit your narrow definition of “femininity”?
English

@ianatmars @jk_rowling Yes there are indeed a lot of women pretending to be men and beating up men in sports. Why are they not testing men really
English

@jk_rowling It's kind of hilarious how they're not testing men. I doubt there are many women trying to enter men's boxing. It's also hard to imagine how depraved some people are, and it's worrying that so many of them are in powerful political positions.
English

It’s a win for women because they won’t be battered to death in the ring by men.
If you had any idea what physical tests women go through routinely in their lives you’d know a cheek swab is no bigger deal than flossing your teeth.
Any more moronic questions, wing them over.
Kaleidoscope News@kaleidoscope_au
Do all the TERFs and JK Rowlings of the world not realise how awful this new policy is for women? In order to compete in World Boxing events, ALL women must undergo invasive physical examinations (not just Olympic boxer Imane Khelif). How exactly is this a win for women?
English

@TeacuErgo @jk_rowling So why even bother separating men and women boxing?
English

@jk_rowling Ma'am, this is boxing, not some underground fight club. No one is going be battered to death in the ring. And injuries come with being a boxer as it is more of an intense close up sport compared to tennis and golfing.
English

@TaiwanSpecial I don't understand why you guys need to celebrate Chinese new year? Rename it to Korean or Vietnamese new year and don't bother using Chinese calendar, Chinese zodiac or Chinese elements to avoid confusion man!
English

Chinese nationalists are demanding people say “Chinese New Year”
So again - for all the other peoples who celebrate this holiday:
Happy Lunar New Year, y’all!
Btw, how many Chinese have you heard say “中国新年快乐”?

@RalphChiaia @Tesla_Asia Red in Korea is, unlike China, not a lucky color but the color of passion, and borders on social impropriety. Money is generally given in white envelopes
??????? What ? Are you a Korean? Are you trying to spread lies?
English

In case you'd like to know more. Grok says this:
Koreans can use the red envelope emoji (🎎). Here's why:
Cultural Similarity: In Korea, there's a similar tradition called "sebaet don" or "bokdon," where elders give money in envelopes to younger family members during the Lunar New Year (Seollal)) and other celebrations. The envelopes are often red or other auspicious colors, symbolizing good fortune, much like in Chinese culture.
Universal Symbolism: The red envelope is broadly recognized in East Asian cultures as a symbol of giving, good luck, and celebration. Even though the specific traditions might differ slightly between Korea and China, the underlying cultural significance of conveying good wishes through the gift of money in an envelope is shared.
Emoji Usage: In the context of digital communication, the red envelope emoji can be used by anyone, including Koreans, to signify giving, generosity, or celebrations. Its use isn't restricted by nationality but by cultural or personal understanding of its symbolism.
Cultural Sensitivity: As with any cultural symbol, it's good practice to be aware of the context in which you're using it. If a Korean user is familiar with its significance or uses it to acknowledge similar traditions, it would be perfectly acceptable.
However, if there's any doubt about cultural appropriateness or potential for misunderstanding, especially in mixed cultural settings, providing a bit of context might be helpful. But in general, Koreans can and do use this emoji, especially during times like Seollal or other festive occasions where similar practices are observed.
Keep in mind people on X are sensitive and overreact easily.
English

@RalphChiaia @Tesla_Asia Red envelope and Korea? Bro are you trying to mock Koreans here?
English

@Tesla_Asia Happy Lunar New Year -- I hope you all make a ship ton of Money! To all my Korean brothers and sisters: 새해 복 많이 받으세요!
복🧧🫰🤑
한국어

@Tesla_Asia @elonmusk It's Vietnamese new year fuck China
English

@porysmail @wapiknow @Tesla_Asia @tomzhu_nz Japan doesn't celebrate Chinese new year. Get over it. It's a Chinese holiday. It's the color red. You don't even use the same elements. Korean new year is not the same as Chinese new year. Go away
English

@wapiknow @Tesla_Asia @tomzhu_nz I never mentioned Korea, and saying 'Chinese New Year' is about China, not Korea. Is Korea the only country that celebrates the Lunar New Year? What about Japan? Don't confuse the issue. The point is that 'Lunar New Year' is the correct term, not 'Chinese New Year'.
English

@fro_st33601 @globaltimesnews You do know your country is famous for not following the rules and cheat all the time right lol
English

In the third decisive game of the #LGCup finals, Chinese Go player #KeJie was penalized for failing to place a stone on the box lid while lifting it. However, the referee intervened and paused the game while #ByunSangil was still thinking about his next move. “You can’t pause the game while he’s still thinking. I can tolerate it once, but it happens every time,” Ke argued.
