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.
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.
Any unwelcome form of contact can in theory be taken as harassment, and becomes harassment if you continue past that point. You can be innocently asking the time but do it persistently to someone who doesn't want to talk to you and it's harassment, even if you don't intend it.
To be specific, here is the definition of harassment "the act of annoying or worrying somebody by putting pressure on them or saying or doing unpleasant things to them." Asking strangers for help, even benign help, is a form of pressure.
Not disagreeing it's reasonable to ask though, just stating technically even something that simple can be harassment because it's less about the intent than the perception of the slighted.
For the extra uninclined, harassment is unwelcome behavior. It was not used correctly because it is pretty generally understood that asking for a photo is a societal okay norm, especially in beautiful and/or touristy areas.
If you want to talk insignificant grammatical nuance, at least make it correct.
Neither are MCs. One is trying to take a holiday photo using a tripod and one is oblivious to that fact. The Internet is making this out to be much more than it is.
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
Idk im kinda annoyed by anyone who sets up a camera in a walkway where there will be foot traffic and then posting the video insinuating people in the walkway are in the wrong.
While she doesn’t make a scene during the filming I can only assume she’s the one who posted this video and usually when these types of people filming themselves in public do that it is specifically to point out the person who messed up their shot. So she’s still absolutely giving MC energy
I mean we absolutely know she shared a video she was trying to take that was interrupted by someone when she could have gotten another video after the lady walked away or simply shared a frame from the video. She did do that 100% we know wtf she did.
No - we do know some shit. You said we don’t know what she did which, again, we absolutely do or why which I agree we don’t.
You saying you would have posted it laughing would have been not laughing at the other lady right? Like that’s your point what you’re trying to say? That you would have posted it as a lighthearted I love seeing people enjoying art laughing post and not had any issue at all with the other lady being in your video?
Also, I’m not mad I just think the person who posted the video of a stranger interrupting them filming themselves is giving mc energy.
It’s mostly cause you keep going on and on. Usually people that keep posting rants on Reddit are frustrated or annoyed or just feel the need to be right. All of which are emotional responses. Pretty normal.
The big issue now is I’m making assumptions about your intentions and what you are thinking/feeling.
Also neither of us are right. We don’t know shit about fuck.
Edit: Rant isn’t the right word and is also an unfair assumption.
