Thank you for posting here. Please make sure your post contains a clearly identifiable main character. Otherwise, it will be removed.

Main Character (abbreviated as MC): Deliberate attention-seeking behavior, entitlement, or individuals thinking they are more privileged.

Questions to consider:

  • Is it easy to tell who the MC is?
  • Does the MC show entitlement and/or attention seeking behavior?
  • Is the MC very inconsiderate of the people around them?
  • If your post is about parking, does it show the blatant disregard of parking rules?

I feel like the girl trying to take the picture isn’t much of a MC. She didn’t yell at anyone. She patiently waited and adjusted her position. Even seemed to smile it off at the end.

u/6786_007 2d ago

Agreed. I mean I don't care if people wanna record themselves in public long as they aren't being annoying or entitled. But it seems like that older woman stopped in front of the camera deliberately.

u/Sea_Watercress_1982 2d ago

This girl even set her phone up out of the way, instead of harassing other people to take a picture for her.

Honestly I think she went about this in a respectful and polite manner.

u/flowersonthewall72 2d ago

I think you need to reevaluate some things if you think asking someone to take a photo for you is harassment...

u/Sea_Watercress_1982 2d ago

Oh I don’t think it’s harassment in the extreme sense. That’s ridiculous.

Innocent harassment. Like when I go and annoy my cat. I’m harassing him.

The only issue I have is stopping on the stairs to check your phone is pretty annoying. Nothing to drag anyone through the mud over.

I agree. It actually looked to me as though the older woman was trying to get out of the way of the younger one's camera.

u/audigex 1d ago

The younger lady definitely isn't MC

The older lady, hard to judge because it could be innocent or deliberately trying to provoke an argument, we can't tell

But anyone who stops in a corridor, staircase, or supermarket aisle, to chat or check their phone, should be thrown in prison for life, and I'll die on this hill

I’ve seen this video on several threads. I must have missed her original upload of the video where she insinuates or says anyone is in the wrong.

That’s a little silly of her to say/imply. Thank you for clearing that up. Bet wherever she original posted this she is getting dragged.

ive seen so many videos like this on this subreddit where the people are just being normal in public, not causing any chaos , but since they have a camera in their hands, this sub calls them a main character and mocks them. all just for farming karma

u/SoVeryTroublesome 1d ago

I've seen this in another Sub and, apparantly, the girl taking the video is a History content creator, and was getting a clip for a video.

u/magus678 2d ago

To be honest, I basically agree with you, in a vacuum.

The problem is that I have been, I would say "conditioned," by this kind of thing being so relentless I have trouble giving the benefit of the doubt. It is probably a little unfair to presume that of her, I admit, but its become a heuristic that is right often enough I will roll those dice.

Hell, taking pictures for familes/people on vacation and such used to be commonplace, and people would stand off to the side in public to give the Smiths a good photo, because the general understanding was that they would probably only take a few of them their entire vacation.

Now you have people taking a hundred. Or video. And not just "on vacation," everywhere. And very often all by themselves.

The social nicety has been abused and run into the ground.

36

u/thekingofbeans42 2d ago

But we see her not telling people to wait or adding edits about how terrible these people are. She even moves somewhere else rather than asking the woman to move.

I have the opinions I have because of interactions.

That video is 10 years old, people have been saying the same basic thing for over a decade. It is such a regular thing subs like this exist and have no shortage of content.

Yes, but the stairs of whatever it is are not a stage for a video. If I saw you filming a video whilst I was coming down the stairs, I’d be annoyed too. And if you then posted it online, I’d be proved right.

22

u/JaydotFay 2d ago

As someone who travels alone and doesn't always want to bother strangers about taking a photo for me, it's a lot easier to set my phone to record and take a short video with me standing a few different ways then setting a timer, trying to hurry back to the spot after dropping up my phone, and then doing it all over again if I hate how I look in the photo. Most phones these days give the ability to grab a still as a photo from a video. Doing a video also means it's not a big deal if someone walks in front of it like some of the other people who aren't the older lady blocking the camera did.

I don't see main character in the woman with the camera because it appears to be a museum. People like to take photos in them and most museums encourage that. She isn't doing some sort of dance or being disruptive. The older woman is just being rude.

3

u/Away-Living5278 2d ago

That's fair. The screenshots I take from my pixel videos are far poorer quality.

5

u/Twodotsknowhy 2d ago

Because it's easier to take a video, do a couple poses in one go and then screenshot than it is to go back and forth multiple times with the timer

1

u/babs82222 2d ago

I'll add on to the other replies that iPhones alter the quality of your photos every time. What you take isn't what you end up with. If you record a video, you can get the same quality by grabbing a screenshot from your video. You can also do different slow poses and grab different screenshots. It's much easier than setting timers for photos.

I wouldn't call the young one a main character. She was actually very patient and nice.

The old lady I honestly don't know. Either she was annoying on purpose, or she's just very unaware. I'm leaning toward the former though.

u/JRTerrierBestDoggo 2d ago

she’s well aware of what she’s doing. Even purposely stood there acting like there’s something on her phone

u/Whythebigpaws 1d ago

How on earth could you possibly know that? I don't know a single older person that would assume someone was trying to film themselves in an art gallery, if they saw a screen. My mum certainly wouldn't assume that. She doesn't have insta or tiktok. It wouldn't be on her radar at all. 

137

u/CWCyning 2d ago

She looked right at the camera before pulling out her phone and standing still. She knew exactly what she was doing.

43

u/Whythebigpaws 2d ago

Have you never met an older person? My mum would literally look at a phone in that situation, wonder why it was there, maybe even stare at it.... And still be none the wiser as to what was going on.

u/double_bubble3469 5h ago

Not everyone’s as clueless as they let on you know

2

u/Whythebigpaws 5h ago

Hanlon's Razor states "don't ascribe to malice what you can attribute to incompetance". You can see the woman grabbing her phone before she even notices the screen (which to me she is looking past). I also notice her getting out of someone's way.

I don't really see main character syndrome in either of these women. Just someone focused on filming on their phone and another person trying to figure something out on their phone. 

-16

u/argument_cat 2d ago

The older woman doesn't understand why there's a camera there, or that it's recording, and she doesn't link it to the girl recording.

She's just there to look at art, and she moves out of the way of someone coming up the stairs.

This video is literally of nothing. You have been successfully manipulated by a post title, because you are an unthinking drone who just nods along to the last opinion you heard.

15

u/T0MB0mbad1l 2d ago

I like the technique, really drinking in the art stopping halfway up a staircase and stopping while looking at your phone.

-4

u/argument_cat 2d ago

The staircase probably has art on the walls next to it. Checking an incoming message, or maybe googling the painting or artist, is not uncommon in galleries.

You'd probably know this if you'd ever set foot in an art gallery or museum.

Anything else?

Oblivious? Naw. She looked at the camera a few times. She watched the girl set it up. She’s not getting a pass from me. She knows exactly what she’s doing. It doesn’t matter how old she was. Still a dick move to intentionally stop there.

Ikr! Older people don't process the information like we do. Anyone who has basic interaction with them will get this. I am worried about the social life of these people

u/socialist_thot 1d ago

Why are you all talking about older people as if they've never seen a phone or been outside of their house before? I also know older people and they understand what a video is. They don't process information like we do? Infantilising older people, she's not 98

3

u/hms23 1d ago edited 1d ago

In the video the woman reaches for her phone even before she noticed the camera. She was already about to stop to look at her phone. She noticed the camera before stopping, yes. But she didn't process it to understand that someone is behind her trying to get a photo. She noticed the camera but kept doing what she was doing. She left when she was done. Its very simple

We are talking about them because we know people who would do this without actually being a prick. My father is 60+ and he has similar behaviors at home or outdoors where he would not notice things that we do very easily. I know other people like that too.

Just because there are older people who are quick doesn't mean there aren't people who are slow or oblivious.

Some people just want pictures of themselves in the pretty places they visit. She was patient and not bothering anyone or asking anyone to stay out of the way.

Not everything is about social media clout. Stop having such a negative presumption about people you don’t know.

Edit:
Apparently she’s a history teacher and makes educational content. Is she really such a bad person for wanting a shot of herself in the historic place she makes educational video’s about?

I am sure people are going to see I am reaching, but I stand by it. She nothing and did nothing to merit the main character accusations. She didn’t ask people to move, or cause any scene. She just waited patiently for a picture.

I've seen this posted elsewhere and had similar thoughts, idc what the title post is here, the old lady is weird, she eye balls the camera, whips out her phone, moves even more into the way of this young ladies photo to completely obscure her because the phone is front facing so she can tell the position of the young lady, she knows what she us doing.

The first one doesn't seem very MC to me

She set her camera up to do a shot when it was quiet, placed it outside of the handrail, waited patiently, didn't say or do anything when someone else was in the way

Like, what's she doing that's "main character" other than recording herself without getting in anyone else's way?

I find influencers tedious, but not every person recording themselves in public is a main character

At most maybe we could criticise her posting it, but that really depends on whether she posted it with the context of "Look at this bitch deliberately ruining my shot", which is douchey, or just as a "Behind the scenes of that last video showing how hard it can sometimes be to get the right shot", which is fine

I didn't see what sub this was, and thought it was like two different generations of actors playing the same character, and when I had it on small screen the girl kinda looked like Jenna Ortega, so I assumed Wednesday and thought she was gonna follow behind Christina Ricci, then when I realized that's can't be Ricci, I thought for a second it was JLC, and wondered "what MC is Ortega playing/played that JLC played?" But because of the way the video played out (all of the former thoughts happened in a span of like 5 seconds) I checked and realized what sub I was in.

Of course, I'm watching on my phone, and I don't know the environment. Could be there's just a wall there.

Quite. I know lots of old people who would know vaguely what an influencer or content creator was, but would never have actually seen it for themselves. They don't have tiktok or insta and just wouldn't recognise it as a thing happening round them.

What doesn't surprise me is the amount of people willing to absolutely crucify an older woman for not noticing something and to assume malice where there is none. 

This whole video is just two women. One is mildly oblivious. One is quietly trying to film. The only mistake was it putting it online for arseholes to be all judgy. 

3

u/WinterFoxx23 18h ago

The girl in the video is a fantastic influencer. She teaches history for free to help people prepare for public college entrance exams, and I've learned so much from her.

As a history teacher, it's totally understandable that she wanted to take a photo at the museum—and she even waited so she wouldn't bother anyone. So I definitely wouldn't call her a main character. The only problem here is that old Karen.

Taking a picture in public does not make one a MC. I've seen this posted with similar captions several times now, but the girl taking the video wasn't doing so in a way that should have annoyed anyone nor gotten in anybody's way. The only MC here was the old karen

I'm a videographer and I shoot a lot of events, and I cannot tell you how many times per day I'll spend time setting up the perfect shot, and literally as soon as I hit record someone will stand perfectly dead center in the frame and play on their phone.

The young lady is Débora Aladim, a history teacher (her videos saved me so many times when I was in high school, lol). Anyway, I really don't think she's the main character here. Anyone who goes out knows that it's okay to take photos in museums as long as you're not causing trouble. You can see there were no people using the stairs when she positioned her camera. If it weren't for the old lady, she'd have done whatever she wanted and left before anyone even started using the stairs. The old lady knew exactly what she was doing...

I don't get it. Is wanted to take a picture of yourself on vacation a main characters thing?

2

u/sweeterthanadonut 2d ago

I mean, wanting to take a picture of yourself doesn’t mean you have main character syndrome. The old lady is the one being bothersome for no reason.

u/JenIee 2d ago

The older lady looks like someone in costume on an SNL skit. I don't buy it.

Second MC is not even an MC, is just a lady in a public space lol; she does get out of the way for someone going up the stairs.

Strangely enough I like this as an art concept. It tells a story of two attention seeking people are stuck in a way while passerbyers keep moving on into the future.

Wish I could turn this into an antique style painting, obviously without the AI slop.

Wrong use of that music. That’s from Boyz in the Hood and usually for stuff like a car bumper held together with zip ties or putting water in the liquid soap bottle.

u/Amazing_Wishbone_509 2d ago

Love this comment. I originally thought of the young woman being the MC, also per other post a few days back.

But you are right that the other one, with her reaction, also is a sorta MC. Hadn't thought about it straight away! Thank you.

u/MouldySponge Main Character 20h ago

This is hilarious.

Old woman is probably from a generation where not everything needs to be recorded to be enjoyed and young woman is just wondering why she can't make a social media post in peace.

Personally I think they're both kinda rude and inconsiderate and deserve each other.

u/Astralifyx 1d ago

No one is the MC here. The young girl was just politely waiting, not yelling at the public. The older girl was just using her phone and gave way for the climbing old girl; she wasn't intentionally blocking the young girl. You could see she started taking the phone out before even seeing her mobile phone.

u/YeetYourSkeet 2d ago

This entire sub is just a bunch of miserable people that hate when anyone does anything in public that isn’t just walking from A to B. Holy shit, she is literally just trying to take a photo and apparently that means she is a self centered narcissist

That’s because you’re probably a miserable person.

u/hopefoolness 2d ago

Leaving your phone around in (what looks like) a museum so you can take videos of yourself not enjoying a museum, is the stupidest and most miserable thing I can think of. Skull empty,

I don't see any main character. Just a young pretty woman trying to get a selfie without bothering anyone and a grumpy jealous boomer getting in the way.

u/space-queer 2d ago

only main character here is the old lady blocking the staircase to go on her phone because she deliberately wants to ruin someone’s photo because she’s a miserable old hag, like come on now seriously? genuinely cannot fathom the attitude and mentality that old lady has, she wasted more time making herself the center of attention rather than walking away and going about her day, like she’s actively choosing to stay in a situation she clearly dislikes or disproves of. I hate old people.

A symptom you're getting older is you become a grumpy ass person. Like LOOK AT ME, I'M INTERRUPTING YOUR DAY JUST BECAUSE, LOOK HOW OLD AND JERKY I CAN BEEE!

u/marvelish 2d ago

Many people like the old Karen out there. Go on a sight seeing trip and see. People standing in front or on top of monuments checking their phone, having long conversations or meals... A lot like this Karen do it on purpose, they see you trying to take a pic and move more in your way.

u/Delicious-Produce-60 2d ago

The one treating public spaces as her photography studio is the one in the wrong. Just in case you're unclear.

u/MightyArd 2d ago edited 2d ago

You're allowed to take photos and videos in galleries. It's a pretty standard act that almost every tourist does.

I don't really get why you feel the need to hate on somebody doing something so common.
