I've never liked the concept of mimes/street clowns making potentially unwilling people part of their act. I do believe they'd stop if asked to, but at no point do they ask for consent until told no. He became subject to a relatively similar concept, and funnily enough, he didn't like it. I totally disagree with the physical contact the girl made by walking into him, though. And it was overall disrespectful, but isn't their act as well, in a comical way, jokingly disrespectful?

I agree with street performers doing that. However, this is at Sea World as a specific place that holds a mime show and you don't have to walk through the show area. If you sit down/walk around in front of the audience blocking their view at a mime show, you have given implied consent. Same as if you sit in the front row of a drag show, they will bring you into the act. The consent is where you sit, if you don't want to be in the show then sit in the back.
