    Me: There’s no way that’s true

    Me, after web searching: Huh…

    Context: They have a betting game called “Jogo do bicho” (Animal game, direct translation). Number 24 corresponds to deer, which is “veado” in portuguese - which is very similar to"viado", which is a slur for gay people persons.

    I still doubt these candles are popular though.

    Aside from the homophobia, they still get birthday cakes with candles that say their age when they are 24?

      What else should they get? Birthday cakes with candles that say someone else’s age? That wouldn’t make any sense.
