About
The Brazilian Slutwalk Flasher refers to an unidentified male exhibitionist who tried to taunt a crowd of feminist activists by flashing his penis during the Marcha das Vadias (March of Bitches) held in Brasília in May 2012.
Origin
On May 26th, 2012, Brazilian feminists and LGBT activists staged mass demonstrations in major cities in observing Marcha das cadias (March of Bitches), as part of the international SlutWalk campaign which simultaneously took place across 20 cities around the world. During the march in Brasília, an unidentified middle-aged man was arrested for obscenity after verbally taunting the crowd as they marched by and allegedly exposing himself in defiance. The flashing stunt instantly led to angry and violent reactions from the mob of demonstrators, the footage of which was subsequently uploaded by YouTuber Diogo Ramalho later that same day. In the first three years, the YouTube video of the crowd's reaction gathered more than 530,000 views and 6,200 comments. The video has since been removed, but multiple versions have been reuploaded.
Spread
On the same day, YouTuber Rafael Ayan Ferreira uploaded a video showing police arresting the man and putting him in the back of a police vehicle. Also on May 26th, the Brazilian news site Globo[7] published an article about the incident, noting the man was arrested for performing an obscene act.
On October 26th, 2012, Redditor RedditReposter submitted a photograph in which the man is shown laying on incline wall as a woman with an airhorn blasts it in his face to the /r/pics[1] subreddit (shown below). Prior to being archived, the post gained over 2,400 votes (91% upvoted).
On the same day, BodyBuilding Forums[4] member irishmickk posted the photograph in a thread, remarking that it would make a great Facebook cover photo. On November 4th, IGN Forums[5] member Beyerdynamic posted a photograph of the Brazilian man with the caption "Are you not entertained?" (shown below).
On August 21st, 2014, Redditor NateTheGreat26 posted a photoshopped version of the photo in which soccer uniforms are superimposed on the crowd titled "What it feels like to be a Liverpool fan right now" to the /r/LiverpoolFC[3] subreddit (shown below).
