Sure, I'm not disagreeing with what you necessarily say about free speech more with the verdict that Lucas is a fascist sympathiser. He's not and I wish people would take the time to actually consider what he is actually saying (lots of people seem to understand Brazilian Portuguese all of a sudden) - he simply wants a safer and less crime-ridden country and knows that the options available are severely limited.
By the way - in Brazilian media they aren't even referring to Bolsonaro as a fascist. Therefore, if Lucas is relying on the Brazilian news to form his opinions and the message that resonates with him is "I will enforce zero tolerance on crime" because of his life experiences and the country's rotten climate, then who are we to judge him and rip him to shreds?!
People need to have a bit of consideration for the ENTIRE picture before judging him and claiming that he is racist, sexist and homophobic. Considering that he hasn't made any comments on these things, and simply honed in on the crime aspect I'd take a pretty big wager on him not being any of these things. But this is the internet, we jump to conclusions about what people are and what they say instead of asking a bit of time and research to understand where it has come from and what is truly being said.
Until he displays any of these vile characteristics he will have my entire support whilst at the club, especially considering what I've been told (very humble and respectful person) about him by someone who knows him.
No one has said Lucas is any of those things but he has endorsed someone who is and that isn’t a good look for him or the club. Not to mention how dangerous it is someone with almost 3 million followers to promote these views, as it validates them, whether it’s through ignorance or malice.
