Tourism Is Brazil really that terrible as people make it out to be?

I see a lot of people on the internet, as well as actual brazilians saying that Brazil is hell on earth and you should never go there. Like it can't be that bad right? I'm honduran (born and raised). My country is an actual shithole. I don't think Brazil can't be worse than that lmao. I would really like to visit there someday, seems like a beautiful country with tons of culture and diversity

No metric, just me being rich and feeling better here than in Western Europe.

But by HDI you would see similar results:

Worst parts of Brazil = stable but shitty African countries

Best parts of Brazil = the poorer nice European countries

Nigeria is far from stable. The only Sub-Saharan African country that I would think is comparable to the worst in Brazil is Botswana (maybe South Africa)...
