Not everyone finds this kind of satire funny.

The trailer for Borat-2 with Sasha Baron Cohen, released yesterday, was watched by more than 2 million people per day. And judging by the likes on YouTube, the video was liked by the overwhelming majority of viewers (43 thousand “for” and 3 thousand “against”). And nevertheless, it was not possible to do without a scandal - there were those who were offended by the trailer. They are already expressing their anger in full on Twitter, where they launched a special hashtag #CancelBorat ("Cancel Borat").

Of course, first of all, the citizens of Kazakhstan and their sympathizers began to hate the picture.

I hate this smelly film so much, its smelly author. Who gave him the right to spit so disrespectfully on our culture? I also hate the idea that only those who shout the loudest and most cynical about colonial oppression deserve sympathy and respect #cancelborat

why the fuck my country is being ridiculed by some Americans. who they think they are. who gave the right to shoot an idiotic film about "Kazakhs", making us a stupid nation. disgusting. #cancelborat

I'm sorry, but humor where someone or something is insulted (race, nation, country, etc.) is not funny at all. Therefore, I am against Borat's film, where disrespect is clearly expressed, making fun of Kazakhstan and its people. #cancelborat

it’s not people who don’t have a sense of humor, it’s you who don’t have a sense of respect for a foreign country and culture when it comes to Asian / CIS countries # cancelborat

This reaction surprised many.

#cancelborat

Children, look at "Bruno", you will be completely torn apart.

Kazakh 14-year-old children were offended by a humorous film about their country

I bet that most of them have a Korean avatar, and all they know about the country is the capital, the president and Dimash # cancelborat

Borat did more for Kazakhstan than anyone who drowns for #cancelborat

I'm 14 years old: modern

watching Borat children at the age of 14:

with parents, it's not funny

I’m fucking crazy about it, this is racism

mogu sarcasm cancel this

And here are other opinions.

How strongly and quickly people have become dull that they cannot understand that Borat is a satire, an exaggerated comedy about Kazakhs, where in fact Sasha Cohen makes fun of the lack of education of the American community. #cancelborat

SJWs fight any manifestation of disrespect for foreign culture, cultural appropriation, etc. in relation to any nation, but Kazakhs should treat Borat's film with understanding and irony, because it is actually “ridiculing the Americans themselves”? # Cancelborat

It seems that the requirement to mark something and prohibit something is becoming a real trend.

Abolishing Borat is offensive to Kazakhstan. #cancelborat

Undo Rowling - Insults Jews

Undo Charlie Hebdo - Insult Muslims

Cancel "Jojo Rabbit" - offensive for the Russian Federation

Cancel the "death of Stalin" insults the Communist Party

Abolish gays - well, you get the idea, right?

We also remembered the first film, which, by the way, greatly increased the tourist flow to Kazakhstan.

How do you like the trailer for the new Borat? Write in the comments.
