- A sign language interpreter at a Kim Petras show has gone viral for his very graphic (and helpful) translations.
- Viewers are obsessed with his enthusiastic performance, with some saying he outshined the singer.
The internet is losing its mind after a sign language interpreter was captured graphically translating during a recent Kim Petras concert. Multiple TikTok videos of Auslan translater Marc Ethan have gone viral, and viewers say he deserves a medal.
Clips of Ethan were taken on Sunday during the popstar's performance at the Sydney WorldPride event in Australia. People were shocked and highly amused at how accurately and graphically he signed some of Petras's lyrics, including "I can make you come" and "my coconuts — you can put 'em in your mouth." (Warning: some of these videos will make you blush.)

Some of the most viral videos were shot during the artist's performances of "Coconuts," "Throat Goat," and "Superpower Bitch."
The comments on the TikTok videos are split between people startled by the raciness of Marc's movement s—"What is GOING on," one top comment read — and others unabashedly praising the man's enthusiastic performance. Some even thought he outshined Petras.

"I've watched this video so many times," a person wrote and included a string of laughing emojis.
"Give this man a raise!!!" another person added.
"If anyone was going to outshine @kimpetras during her World Pride set, it was always going to be her sign language interpreter," one Twitter user wrote. "HE GAVE EVERYTHING."
Some TikTokers said the video inspired them to want to learn sign language. It also created more awareness for Auslan, or Australian sign language, translations, as many people initially thought he was signing in ASL (American sign language).
People now want Ethan to translate at other concerts, like for CupcaKKe, a musician renowned for her openly hypersexual lyrics.
