To those of you who aren't in the Portuguese speaking sphere, let me give you a hilarious update. Parents in Portugal are currently HORRIFIED because their children are now only speaking Brazilian Portuguese from watching so many Brazilian YouTubers. They are finding this deeply disturbing and want the Brazilian Portuguese to end IMMEDIATELY
There are NEWS articles about this
Translation:
"Luccas Neto (Brazilian YouTuber) is accused of making Portuguese children talk like Brazilians"
"Luccas Neto, who just celebrated his son Luke's first birthday, is becoming the target of criticism among some Portuguese families. The reason? Luccas Neto has become such a success that Portuguese children are starting to talk like Brazilian people.
That's right: the little ones have lost the characteristics of their local dialect and adopted the speech of the 29 year old YouTuber, who was born in Rio de Janeiro.
'All of his speech is Brazilian. We've reached the point where people ask if one of us parents is Brazilian,' said an interviewed mother, who said her son now frequents speech therapy sessions."
"Other parents who spoke with the Portuguese newspaper revealed they don't leave their children alone with tablets or phones, especially when they watch Luccas Neto.
'At this moment we're in a phase of treatment like it's an addiction. We explain everything to him, that he can't watch this because it's harmful. And we notice that he's much better now. What we're trying to do now is play with him more, and block some content, leaving only Netflix and everything that's in Portuguese from Portugal.'"
