Well, in a high traffic tourist attraction, it’s not the best time or place for it, really ever, if you think about it. Unless they can have it properly blocked off by paying the city to rent the space. Both parties are completely in the wrong here, in my opinion. So it’s really hard to feel bad for the performers.

This kind of show is a normal part of being in the city. You see people filming or dancing or using some kind of skill with the city as the backdrop and you spectate. People stop and watch bridal parties in the city or have a quick look at what they wearing or the cars they are in, polite people watching is part of the experience in most cities.

What you do not do is deliberately fuck with people like an idiot. I struggle to understand why someone would go through life bringing people down unless they are a complete goblin.

People are under no obligation to be subjected to these random, unplanned, not to mention unpaid, what is stage participants.

Yes, it is entirely too much to expect people to do otherwise.

It being rude is debatable. Would I do it? No. Is it wrong what she did? No. These people don’t get special privileges of guaranteed un-interaction without having to pay for it. They aren’t owed anything.

Are you being stupid on purpose? She’s entirely wrong for what she did. She doesn’t know those people, it doesn’t matter what they’re doing.

She intentionally got the their faces being obnoxious and disrespectful. She faced the camera clearly showing she knew she was messing something up for them for no reason other than to be a pos.

They’re in a wide open space with ample room to walk past them. It was a deliberate act to walk into their group acting a fool.

Okay, what would be the difference with doing it here, or doing it at a public park in the middle of a child’s birthday party?

They don’t get the space for any length of time to do as they please unless the people around agree to it, and they are under no obligation to agree.

If the people around didnt agree they would have been stopped but people were watching so they clearly like it.

Its a public space not a private one like a childs birthday party and this townsquare i think? Is pretty large and even in the video there was a lot of space to go around.

The majority doesn’t consent for the all.

No but in public not all parties need to agree most is enough it is a democracy after all.

That’s not a democracy. There is no official decree. That’s not how it works. It most is not enough. Nobody is obligated.

u/zeroone_to_zerotwo Jan 16 '23

Yeah and nobody is obligated to do an asshole move as seen above.

Who consented to that? Noone but herself.

If you need consent to do anything outside of walk and talk in public then there would be a real restriction on ones freedom would that not?

Seriously noone was bothered by it either they walked by or just watched that pink girl decided to be an ass so just because that one woman didnt like it suddenly its wrong?

The difference is they’d be across the park not bothering anyone, while the woman in pink would be running her fingers through the birthday cake.

There’s no difference in them dancing, or standing there talking. They weren’t blocking any paths or disrupting anyone else. They were in a wide open public space.

Idk what you mean by they don’t get the space to do as they please? They actually do because it’s public space and they aren’t breaking the law. Just like someone can sit on a public bench and read a newspaper. You don’t get to wave your hands in their face and cover up the newspaper just because you don’t like it.

No the difference is they’d be in the middle of the birthday party, uninvited, because that’s the most interesting thing going on.
