What is a golden shower?
6 March 2019[1]
The golden shower controversy refers to the repercussions of two posts made by Jair Bolsonaro, then president of Brazil, on his Twitter account. On March 5, 2019, Bolsonaro published a video of a sexual act involving urine that took place at Carnival, suggesting that that scene was common.[2] The next day, he published: "What is golden shower?", a term that describes the act in the video. The two posts were criticized by both supporters and critics of the president,[3] and had international repercussions.[4] The term "golden shower" has seen an increase in popularity on Google[5] and Pornhub,[6] as well as being mentioned on TV shows.[7][8] Some commented that the post could harm Carnival's image.[9]
The Palácio do Planalto and Bolsonaro himself later commented on the controversy.[10][11] The duo that appears in the original video declared that the act was "political-artistic"[12] and, days later, filed a complaint against the president at the Supreme Federal Court (STF) demanding that he delete the posts,[13] which was done.[14] Retrospectively, the phrase has been included in lists of controversial and striking facts about the Bolsonaro government[15][16][17] and has been analyzed as an example of his "phallic obsession"[18] and his "foolish verbiage".[19]
