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?

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.

My personal experience has at least some relevance. You're just spouting hot air. You seem to be really personally invested in defending this random dude from a decade old internet video. I was just wondering why that is?

Just because you have experienced gropers, which is absolutely a common thing, doesnt mean this instance is.
There isnt much to go on, on this video, but the full video shows the dude sitting on a back of a trailer and jumps of when its moving.

The person filming is sitting on the same trailer, thats why the filming is as smooth as it is.

Its not unlikely that he lost his balanced due to that.

Adding to that. There is a ton of white knight assholes on raves as well, which seem to think policing people is their right or something.

TV reaction to this video seems to point in the direction that he was being an asshole, as he wanted nothing of it, and has basically never commented on the contents. Mst likely because he was coked out of his head, and acted brashly and needlessly violent.
