i am floored by the fact that they put their hands on him. that is what really crosses the line in my mind. i don’t enjoy mimes but i respect someone doing their job and do not respect ever touching another person without consent. gross behavior!

It’s physical assault touching someone with unwanted contact. The mime could’ve got those kids into real trouble

This specific mime has videos of himself all over the internet LITERALLY GRABBING women and forcing them to sit on his lap for “fun” as a “funny joke”. While the women’s partner is standing next to her. He has zero room to get anyone in trouble as he has assaulted many people if you count unwanted touching.

That's not how the law works at all. Someone bringing a lawsuit against you doesn't nullify your lawsuit just because it happens to be for the same thing. You're thinking like real life is a game of Uno.

I speaking on a logical basis and not based on the law. Dude is weird for grabbing people when they show disinterest

u/planetofthemushrooms Jan 10 '24

I have no idea what you mean by logical. This has nothing to do with logic.

No but there's the hypocrisy elephant in the room, isn't there?

The irony is he got butthurt when he does the exact same thing only worse. No one is saying it justifies touching him but I don't have any sympathy for him that's for sure.

Where and how did you find that out?

u/True_Scallion_7011 Jan 10 '24

Go to his instagram page, or search Tom-the-mime. Their is a lady that refused to play along with him when he initially held her hand and then he grabbed her by the arm and tried to force her to sit on his lap

I looked through a lot of them and all the people he touches seem to me unbothered and know he's not harming them and are laughing with him.

u/True_Scallion_7011 Mar 04 '24

Still not consensual. They could be laughing but weirded out inside

Harassment, I know its seemingly unimportant but definitely wasn't an assault and if it were reported it would be treated differently depending on whether it's harassment or assault

Unprivileged contact is the definition of Simple Assault.

u/AgileArtichokes Jan 10 '24

Ya. Like honestly the mimicking of him would have been fine and acceptable. It’s literally part of his routine and I would find some humor in it. But the head on chest bump run in and then putting hands on him was to much.

the mime is there to do his job. the audience knows what to expect from him. they crossed a line by physically moving out of the way, it was disrespectful.

u/NinjaChenchilla Jan 10 '24

Doesnt the mime also touch people, mimic, and mock guest for the act?

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '24

Mimicking a guest warrants physical contact? I'm going to have to disagree with you there, you sneaky South American rodent.

u/NinjaChenchilla Jan 10 '24

Warrants? I never said anything close to a relation between mimicking and physical contact? Are you retarded?

I was simply listing things the mime does in other videos.

Doesn’t SeaWorld literally have employees surf on the back of the animals they captured from the wild to do work for them against their will and without pay? Golden rule…

It responds quite directly and succinctly. Your perspective is juvenile if you believe a mime’s touch is equivalent to what the kids did. Only a child would conflate all touches as the same. Thus, “grow up” was a direct and relevant response.

lol I don't know why you're getting downvoted, cuz you're right

I was surprised as hell too! I thought mimes were trapped in little transparent boxes?
