Os super-heróis também choram: Tom Holland chora depois de ver o trailer de "Homem-Aranha"
The much-anticipated trailer of Marvel’s Homem-Aranha foi finalmente lançada. Enquanto a maioria de nós, mortais, teve de o ver no YouTube, alguns fãs sortudos tiveram a oportunidade de participar num evento especial onde puderam ver o trailer com o elenco.
So, what’s the big buzz surrounding that? Well, the way Tom Holland, who plays the titular character, smashed toxic masculinity once and for all!
Ao falar com os fãs sobre a última Homem-Aranha, Holland admitiu ter ficado com lágrimas nos olhos depois de ver o trailer.

Newsflash for all you tough guys out there: Superheroes cry too. And if Spider-Man can do it, why can’t you?
Have we finally reached an era where it’s acceptable for guys to show their emotions? Have we evolved to the point where we can accept that they’re not the “stronger sex” – they’re just human beings made out of flesh and blood… and a heart?
Has our society reached the point where it’s okay for a big, macho man to admit he has weaknesses without being called a sissy? Where he can say he’s afraid without the fear of being classified as a coward?
Have men finally realized they’re not tougher or more attractive if they pretend to be emotionless robots? Have women opened their eyes and stopped seeing toxic masculinity as appealing?
Espero bem que sim. E o Tom Holland também.
No entanto, esta não é a primeira vez que a jovem estrela fala publicamente sobre os seus sentimentos. Recentemente, deu uma entrevista à revista Total Film, onde revelou que a franquia de filmes o ajudou muito na sua auto-confiança.
“I’ve grown and changed in the best ways possible. I really learned how to stand up for myself. When you first start making these films, you’ve got to do as you’re told, and you don’t think anything of it. But as time goes on, you realize that you’re an actor in your film, and you need to protect yourself. Sometimes I’ll say ‘no’ as a full sentence. I’ve learned how to stand up for myself, how to behave in a professional capacity when you’re the leader. I’ve learned how to enjoy my fame rather than run away from it.”
“It’s been an amazing experience. And as an actor, I’ve found so much confidence in my ability through having this safety blanket that is Spider-Man. It’s like a playground for me. Somewhere I can play freely and make mistakes. And sometimes those mistakes are the birth of the best idea, and that’s where the character’s growing from.”
Pode um homem ser mais duro do que isto? Quero dizer, ele não tem problemas em falar publicamente sobre as suas inseguranças e não tem problemas em chorar em frente a uma audiência.

O que é a masculinidade tóxica?
But just in case, let’s revise our knowledge about masculinidade tóxica. Oxford dictionary defines it as “a set of attitudes and ways of behaving stereotypically associated with or expected of men, regarded as having a negative impact on men and on society as a whole.”
Let’s talk things through in a simpler manner.
You know how guys are terrible at paying other men compliments? Even when they do it, they’ll add “não homo” without fail.
What does this tell you? That every straight guy in the world is homophobic? I don’t think so.
They’re just victims of a system. As a “homem de verdade,” a guy has to ser reto e muito atraído por mulheres.
Tudo o resto torna-o menos homem e, por conseguinte, diminui o seu valor na sociedade.
What about the practice of telling little boys to “endurecer” and to “homem para cima” or that they “chorar como uma menina”? Well, there you have it: examples of toxic masculinity right from the start.
Basicamente, toxic masculinity teaches men that it’s not okay to have feelings. Sounds bizarre, I know, but if you look around you, it’s exactly what’s going on.
Porque é que isso é importante?
First of all, this kind of rhetoric doesn’t turn boys into strong men. Actually, it does the opposite.
It turns them into human beings who are too weak to display their own feelings. It teaches them that repressing emotions is the only socially acceptable way to be a man and that they have to deal with their vulnerabilities the best way they can – by themselves, of course.
O que é que temos como resultado? Temos homens inseguros que provavelmente desenvolverão um problema de dependência, tornar-se-ão abusivos ou acabarão por sofrer de depressão.
But the troubles don’t end there.
A masculinidade tóxica promove o sexismo também. O que é que o termo “boys will be boys” dizer-vos?
That they will get away with inappropriate behavior just because it’s in their nature? That it’s okay to peek into a girls’ locker room or pinch their butts because it’s “what boys do”?
O que Tom Holland fez
Percebem agora? Percebem o que Tom Holland fez quando falou corajosamente sobre as suas emoções e não teve medo de chorar?
A jovem estrela enviou uma mensagem poderosa: a masculinidade tóxica passou à história.
Fazes ideia de quantos rapazes em todo o mundo estão literalmente obcecados pelo Homem-Aranha? Então, o que acontecerá quando virem o seu ator favorito a chorar em palco?
That’s right – they’ll understand it’s just a part of being human. They’ll perceive it as something completely normal – which it is.
Por isso, bom trabalho, Tom Holland! Esmagaste mesmo a masculinidade tóxica em pedaços.
