The TV cooking show "MasterChef" has been a huge success in Brazil, as it has all over the world. But its Brazilian children's spin-off, "MasterChef Junior," quickly ran into problems after its first episode aired last month. There were 20 children competing, but one was quickly singled out for comments.
Twitter users began leering at a blond 12-year-old named Valentina Schulz. One man tweeted: “About this Valentina: if it’s consensual, is it pedophilia?” Another posted: “Let me keep quiet to not be jailed.”
Brazilian women were horrified — not just by the shocking content of the tweets, but also by the fact that the men posting them thought it was acceptable to do so. Tens of thousands of women took to social networks to share stories of sexual harassment and abuse they had endured as children and teenagers.
And now the country is waking up to the possibility that it may have a much bigger pedophilia problem than it realized. Full story...
