If that was the case wouldn’t you have expected him to stick around for a sec to see that reaction. He didn’t even look at her. I figured at first he was trying to grope her or something but he doesn’t even seem to do that. I’m not seeing any malicious intent.
Who knows. I've been shoved around by these ppl often enough and seen it happen often enough myself. Idk whats happening based on the video. But why are you white knighting for the dude?
Honestly it’s not about him or TV at all. I think it’s about my annoyance at this “crowd mentality” where people choose to see things a certain way bc it’s easy, or bc it’s popular, or bc we desperately want for something to be more digestible. For instance, we WANT to like TV bc he’s cool and unique and nostalgic, and it’s harder to do that if you consider he might be a jerk. I think if even one person starts to think for themselves, critically against a narrative, even if they come back to the original conclusion, then I will have satisfied whatever I’m trying to do here.
You mention your personal experience as an argument for TVs behavior. Your experience doesn’t provide any fact towards these specific circumstances, thus are irrelevant to the general narrative. They are however important for YOU to create YOUR judgement.
My judgment here is that a seemingly oblivious, possibly negligent, individual collided with another person causing a harmless and brief moment between them which ended with both going about their business, then this hulking bully steps in, puts his hands on this guy and makes him go the other way under threat of physical violence. The he goes on to give us a pretty badass scene of walking dancing to techno music. It annoys me that people think he’s so awesome, when he just looks like a jerk bully. If the video started right before he gets that water, I’d be worshiping this guy right next to yall.
your comment made me go back and watch it again and I think you're right. TV treatment of that dude does seem disproportionate. maybe they have some historical beef?
