MAS SERÁ QUE É SEM NOÇÃO MESMO? #REACT

Overview

This video is a commentary/“react” segment responding to a viral TikTok from a Brazilian girl living in Japan, nicknamed a “clueless” foreigner. The presenter reviews common criticisms from other YouTube reactions and argues that many issues attributed to her are less about “Japanese cultural shock” and more about basic etiquette and reading the situation in shared public spaces.

Main Argument

1) Public transport manners (night buses: curtains/windows)

The presenter’s main example is her filming from the bus window area at night. They argue that on night buses—and generally when traveling late—windows/curtains are kept closed so passengers can sleep. Leaving them open or insisting on visibility, they say, is inconsiderate and would annoy people anywhere, not uniquely in Japan.

2) Noise and behavior in stations and crowds

The presenter says it’s okay to be excited, dancing, and happy in Japan as long as it doesn’t disturb others. The real concern, they claim, is filming herself and filming bystanders, especially in crowded areas where people need personal space and quiet.

3) Japanese norms: “don’t bother” and personal space

They repeatedly frame Japanese social norms as prioritizing silence, peace, and not disturbing others. This perspective is also used to explain rules such as avoiding phone use on public transit.

4) Phone and communication etiquette

The presenter shares an anecdote in which a driver stopped a passenger for talking on a cellphone. This is used to reinforce the idea that certain behaviors are considered rude or disruptive on buses/trains.

5) Broader tourism problems in cultural districts

They reference related viral incidents involving tourists in geiko/geiko-related districts (referred to in the summary as “gheiya/guaya”). Reported behaviors include:

• pulling at kimonos,
• taking excessive photos,
• invading work areas.

These incidents, they say, have led to restrictions in some neighborhoods. The takeaway is that intrusive tourist behavior often requires adaptation.

6) Self-reflection and adaptation (not malice)

The presenter argues that the Brazilian girl showed self-awareness after early mistakes in her first 48 hours. They reject harsh online backlash and suggest her message is useful—sharing mistakes so others don’t repeat them.

7) Internet hate vs. learning

While agreeing people could be kinder, the presenter suggests her visibility made her an easy target. They also hope she doesn’t become emotionally hardened or stop being herself.

8) Immigrant communication as a practical survival skill

The presenter expands into a personal/immigrant perspective: being yourself is fine, but you must be able to communicate, defend your choices, and handle cultural misunderstandings. They include examples from their own experience where language barriers led to conflict.

9) Bottom line: criticisms may be overstated

They conclude that negative reactions may be overblown because many critics don’t acknowledge their own faults. Their stance is that her behavior reflected inexperience or unpreparedness, not an intent to offend.
