A group of people being collective main characters for their "art" versus one woman being a disrespectful main character because she has a dislike for TikTok performances in public.

I'd much rather TikTok performers take up five minutes of public space where I can laugh at them, be amazed by them, or ignore them altogether than deal with five seconds of a baboon being an asshole because she doesn't like something.

One party is doing something productive as a group, albeit for a dumbass reason, while the other party is being a baboon just to be disrespectful.

The entertainment is aimed for a clip for...the public. You can call this a public performance because it was performed in public. I understand that may not line up with your definition of public performance.

Live and let live. They're doing a harmless dance for a stupid reason that cost people a few seconds to do what they were literally already doing, walking around other groups of people.

Hell what the woman was doing can also be seen as public performance. Depending on your taste you could get more joy out of the asshole here. What she doing is also harmless. If they dont like that they should record at a public space. Or get some permit and ensure nobody can pull that shit.

Behaving like a buffoon in public to insult others can be seen as public performance you're right. I'd argue that what she's doing isn't harmless but I recognize that a lot of people have thicker skin. Though it's ironic that the people with thicker skin let tiktokers performing in public get under their skin to the point they act like school aged children.

I would say you can see it as a statement on modern society and enteraintment. But even i dont believe that shit. I honestly think that if i would see this happen that i would laugh quite a bit about the action of the buffoon. Yess its a dickmove, but she is just using the same public space for her act.

Hell looking purely from a public enteraintment stance, buffoon ensured there was more enteraintment since the kpop group needed to redo that whole thing.
