IMPORTANT COMPLAINTS

A good representativeness is not only marked by the beauty of diversity and moments that make us sigh with joy, and it is often accompanied by unpleasant moments and actions, mainly linked to prejudice.

Knowing this, “Vai na Fé” denounces several prejudiced and retrograde behaviors of society in the plot, whether in a subtle and delicate way or even opening the issue wide, but without losing the realistic basis that originated the scene in question.

Who wasn’t moved by Wilma’s speech, quoted earlier, about ageism? How much did people defend Sol on social media being judged for wanting to fulfill her dream? It was also mentioned how Lumiar is often judged for not wanting to be a mother.

Yuri’s two unjust arrests, the cursing of Ben in his youth and the graffitied wall at university games have exposed how racist society is. The subject also shows the ethnic reality of the country when there are few black students at ICAES, a high-cost college, with the majority of those who receive scholarship scholarships. Ben didn’t have a scholarship, but he was the only black student in the place at the time.

Speaking of scholarships, the plot that Otávio (Gabriel Contente) defrauded the system to be a scholarship holder and took the vacancy of people who really needed to be able to study, and him watching the video of the reports, was another way of debating social inequality

Machismo is wide open in Theo (Emilio Dantas), who considers himself Clara’s owner because he is a man and works, just as Fred’s arch (Henrique Bandeira) went through this, when he created a profile called “macharada” and kissed Guiga (Mel Maia) by force, showing in the novel the impacts of sexual harassment and the consequences, making the student change his thoughts and evolve.

EXPOSED SERIOUS BEHAVIORS

Speaking of Guiga, she exposes the negative side of fame on social networks, how thinking only of herself or followers is harmful to herself and others around her, not to mention that she lives in a bubble because of her financial condition, generating several balls out in some comments.

Lui Lorenzo had his sexuality questioned, and even though it was suggested that he used the LGBTQIAPN+ community and pretended to be part of it to profit from it, the soap opera not only made the acidic criticism, but also made the singer take another path that was truly ethical.

Going back to Theo, he was a way of exposing how an abusive relationship works, whether the aggressive, cold and exclusive way he treats Clara or even the way he acted with Kate being his lover. We must not forget that all of his erroneous ideology led him to rape Sol in the past, and the impacts on the victim are shown in every possible way.

Another way that Sol suffers from machismo is that she cannot be a dancer and wear flashy looks because she is a “mother of the family”, even if this does not interfere with her character at any time. Incidentally, religious hypocrisy is also displayed with this subplot, when churchgoers judge her or make invasive comments about her life.

Let’s close with a good-natured denouncement: the retreat for men to “find their manhood”, showing prejudiced young men exuding their toxic masculinity as if it were a virtue, in addition to acting like “savages”. But Vitinho outwitted all of them, invalidating the homophobia of his own cousin, who organized the event.

And you, do you remember another representation in “Vai na Fé”? Was there anything that marked you or made you reflect?
