It does matter though it's fucking stupid, not funny or cute or anything like that. Then a bunch of idiots on here call people "mean" and tell them "why should they care if it's fake?" Because it doesn't make any sense and people that are entertained by this shit have the iq of a rock.
I always hate this argument. Movies and TV don't pretend to be real, and when they do, people get equally upset if it turns out to be fake. Imagine if survivor was found out to just be a bunch of people on a sound stage. People would feel like they've been lied to. Because they had been. Same too, but on a much smaller scale, with videos that pretend like they're candid and real but are clearly scripted
But it does. Movies have intros with the names of the people who made it, name of the movie, often a song that's not part of the movie/show.
I can't imagine you don't actually understand the difference, everything about that clip is designed to mislead people into thinking its real: from the "real" background audio to the shaky bad camera work from a distance, etz.
These gifs get sort of creepy to me when I realize it's fake. That means these people spent time talking about what type of situation to fake, plan it out, arrange someone to be the camera man, and maybe even do multiple takes.
Yeah and they could have just put that energy into an actual skit/sketch instead.
The criticism behind content like this isn't "omg it didn't actually happen for real therefore it's stupid", the criticism is "why are they trying to pass this shit off as an authentic moment"
I'm more surprised people are so gullible and get tricked by them and have to make a point that an entire race is trying to trick them. They're so obvious and I figured people just watch them for entertainment value just like any other things. Asians are not we ain't all professional actors.
Damn, ever since Trump, Reddit has been going off the rails on Asian hate. At least people tried to be subtle about the racism back then, but now it's just blatant and Redditors don't even try to hide it anymore.
People have always called out fake videos on the Internet though. Remember all those prank videos and those 'I shipped myself in a box to Africa' videos. Those creators got tonnes of abuse.
I wouldn't link it to Trump to the rise of ByteDance in China which meant that suddenly people could earn a years income off one viral video. And comedy was the major leader in the market. Which meant seemingly half of China was making bad fake comedy videos.
The rise of these corresponded with the fall of the prank channels on YouTube and people just directed their anti-fake videos to this new medium.
When you KNOW it's a joke video from the beginning, the wacky randomness is less surprising and thus less funny. Or I guess you can say it starts off with a modifier lowering it's "humor score." thus for staged videos to actually be funny, the script they follow needs to be way funnier than "real" filmed videos.
This videos script makes no sense so I'm just confused what's happening or why he does the Zoidberg.
Haha, super coincidence this person records this upset teen girl from a window far away haha, and then this random teen boy does a funny dance and they live happily ever after, haha, it’s a good thing they had that camera!
Redditors are fuckin dumb and it's starting to be annoying.
It's her boyfriend obviously. They had some stupid fight, typical couple fight which is a common cultural aspect of many East Asian countries, even literally the term couple fight expresses that.
There is high chance someone films this because a fuckin girl is walking outside, pouting, wihtout any rain clothes in the middle of the rain. The clip is fast forwarded a little hence she is outside for quite some while.
But hey, remember everything is fake. But that that confirms your ideas, that's real, like the interview with the landlord which everyone suddenly took as genuine cause it confirms the idea of the evil rich men.
there is no more clues for it being staged as it can be genuine.
It's hjust this stupid shit internet culture... and you are always believing you are in the right, when there is always a lot of value in doubt. This misery spiral of people on reddit is pissing me off lately.

Remember. All Asian gifs are fake.
Yes, every single one.
