Eduardo Antonio took to social media to criticize comedian Ariel Mancebo, accusing him of being homophobic due to a comment Mancebo made about a photo of Antonio with Pollito Tropical at the latter's perfume launch. Mancebo shared the photo on his Facebook profile with the caption, "I hope they don't reproduce!"
In response to the post, Eduardo Antonio commented, "It would be great if there were more people like us. We are more talented than you, since you have to use our photo to get attention and views, because you lack talent." He continued by stating, "We are successful, prosperous, and financially secure. Loved by many, criticized by some, but never ignored. And this post is proof."
Mancebo replied to Antonio's comment, saying, "Eduardo Antonio, just to clarify, the post has nothing to do with your sexual preferences, but rather with online behavior. In fact, I agree with you; there should be millions more like you, that would be fantastic for me. Look at how well this post is doing."
To further emphasize his point, Eduardo Antonio shared screenshots of his comment and Mancebo's post on his own social media, labeling the comedian as a "fifth-rate homophobe." His post garnered support from followers who commented, "It's incredible that people like this still exist in today's world. I've always believed that if you don't like something, just ignore it and move on," and "Deep down, that man wants to be like you."
Others added, "I would much rather see people like you, fighters, innovators, original, always striving to succeed without harming anyone, reproduce, than people like him with a dry heart full of hate. You keep thriving while he withers away with anger," and "People should learn to respect others; that's why we're in the state we're in. You keep being happy, Divo."
