"We all know a male": Herlanlly, the tiktoker who shows machismo in Mexico

Tomás is a Mexican man who has separated from his partner. He does not want to pay the pension for his two children and frequently refers to their mother as "old fucking." He owes money to a bank, but evades his collectors to party with his friends. Additionally, he says that homosexuality is a disease that "sticks" and that is why it no longer joins the "weirdos." It is a fictional character that takes place on TikTok, but it includes the aggressions that more than half of the women in Mexico experience daily.

"It's barely one in the afternoon, today I did get up early and nobody can say otherwise," says in one of his videos the character created by tiktoker Herlanlly Rodríguez Gutiérrez. With this series of publications, the 23-year-old psychologist and entrepreneur has gained more than 178,000 followers on this platform and her content has been taken up on Twitter and Facebook with millions of views.

"We all know a male in Mexico," Herlanlly Rodríguez tells Verne by phone. "Tomás is the typical homophobic, macho, classist and fat-phobic", he indicates. "It gives me great pleasure to be able to do a parody that, while giving laughter, creates awareness of the ridiculousness of men who express themselves in this way," he says.

In these videos, Tomás criticizes everyone: his mother because he does not eat breakfast "and there are no women like before", his children because "they are fucking monsters", his ex-partner because "she is asking for the pension and wants walk in the culera ”and also to the“ assholes that do not let him in ”, when he goes to buy a chela (beer) at the store without using a mask. "Tomás is a character that I built listening to the opinions of many men throughout my life," says Rodríguez. "When you put them like that, you realize how internalized we have those kinds of comments," he says.

Although Rodríguez defines herself as a feminist, she believes that her videos are not aimed at following this movement. "I identify with feminism, but my videos are not to talk about it, but to demonstrate the behaviors of toxic masculinity," she says. For this reason, the video dedicated to abortion, Tomás the unbeliever, as he also calls him, is glad that they have not decriminalized him in Veracruz, and later complain about "how expensive it is for him to have children."

His recent popularity has garnered him countless criticism, and even his Twitter account was supplanted over the weekend. "I receive all kinds of criticism, especially those who want to make fun of my physique, but I can only respond with satire," he says.

In addition to irresponsible parenthood and machismo, the hoax belief about the covid-19 are some of the most popular themes in Rodríguez's videos. "We all know someone who believes the fake news they read on the Internet," he says. That's why he uses a filter that distorts his features and slows down his voice to make criticism even more apparent.

@herlyrg

Herlanlly Rodríguez's career in social networks did not start on TikTok. On her YouTube channel you will find several interpretations of her as a singer, a stage that she has paused to explore comedy on TikTok. "For now, I'll just focus on doing comedy on TikTok," he says. "I can't imagine doing standup," she confesses when asked about her future. Although she knows that Tomás' routine still has a great future, because macho behavior continues to renew itself.
