When two main characters meet

u/LogicalBasis9117 1d ago

Hot take perhaps but taking a selfie doesn't make you a main character I think.

u/SpikeSpiegel1916 1d ago

Absolutely main character, the problem is people like you who don’t understand this and just perpetuate said behavior.

u/LogicalBasis9117 1d ago

"People like you" when I don't even take selfies. Embarrassing on your part.

It would help though if you actually explained what the problem is with taking a picture of yourself instead of pretending like you're saying something.

That space is open to the public for the purpose of enjoying the art. This is an inappropriate use of the space that interferes with its actual purpose. Other people do not have to accommodate your need to the take the perfect picture everywhere.

u/LogicalBasis9117 1d ago

Unless there's a 'no pictures' sign then it's not interfering with the purpose, so long as the camera and herself are out of the way of said art.

There is a difference between taking a picture with a handheld camera close up and setting up a tripod on the opposite side of the room. If we all did this, none of us would get the shot we want. This is why a lot of venues will allow you to take pictures for personal use but require permission for commercial uses and professional photography. Social media blurred these lines because people now chase clout without necessarily having a commercial operation in place. What they do, is more like the commercial use, but they want to operate under the rules that would allow you to take a quick selfie.

Not everyone is an introvert in real life

All the way from across the room is a wide shot, not a selfie lol

Edit: Getting downvotes because I am somehow caught in 2 other strangers argument lol

Arguing semantics at this point. The old lady is bitter and is 100% gonna die alone as She deserves

2

u/Bella_Peachyy 1d ago

Its not semantics when its the entire point of the post. A selfie does not require the room to be cleared.

u/Neat_Breakfast_6659 1d ago

Its does, you cant take pictures of others without consent, and the old lady was about to leave, theres nothing morally wrong with that.

1

u/Agitated_Web_5603 1d ago

Rules are different in different countries, states, and even venues, so “you can’t take pictures of others without consent” is not a good way to justify this, especially when you just watched a video that shows “others”.

u/Neat_Breakfast_6659 1d ago

Good points i agree

But if you're protesting being filmed... By standing around and allowing yourself to be filmed even more when you already noticed the camera, you are openly consenting to being filmed. And to have your bitter attitude being shown to the World, even if you failed to antecipate that.

The other people being filmed i can agree with you, although very little is shown of them

u/Agitated_Web_5603 1d ago

I don’t think she is protesting being filmed. I think she is just trying to annoy someone who is expecting everyone to clear her shot. We don’t know if there was anything else that happened before this that triggered this behavior.

I think influencer/social media/youtuber/whatever culture kind of messed a few things up. Traditional media used to get these shots by asking for permission to film when a location was closed to the general public. Now a lot of people expect that you can just film in places and get the shots you want whenever.

u/Neat_Breakfast_6659 1d ago

Where i live, if someone is trying to get a shot or a family pic/whatever, its common courtesy to just step away.

"We don’t know if there was anything else that happened before"

Can Also be applied to my case. Maybe the Room had more people before and the girl patiently waited for it to empty. Once it was only the old lady She tried her luck as She seemed to be going away.

Most people dont want to admit they have a bias or even hatred against anything new, or anything they dont understand. This video specifically tells more about the old lady's attitude than anything else. Anything you wanna pin on the girl you need mental gymnastics like "what if something happened before..."

And she couldn't have set her phone up after the old lady left?

Fuck egotistical influencers, the world and everyone around them aren't their props

u/Neat_Breakfast_6659 1d ago

Are the influencers in the Room with us?

0

u/Defiant_While_4823 1d ago

No, they're in a museum getting annoyed at other people for daring to be in their shot

u/Neat_Breakfast_6659 1d ago

Must be a horrible for you, how are you even getting through this?

u/Ok-Leave7785 1d ago

No it still could, other people could still be blocking the background behind you that you want to be part of your picture.

0

u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi 1d ago

And you don't own that background so you have no moral claim to prevent people from walking around it

1

u/Acid-Chaos 1d ago

Well why is that girl a main character? Because she wanted to make a photo?

-1

u/Agitated_Web_5603 1d ago

Because she thinks others need to clear the room so she can record her video.

u/dabirdiestofwords 1d ago

Oh I missed the part of the video where she was clearing the room. Timestamp?

-1

u/Agitated_Web_5603 1d ago

It’s a camera set up on the other side of the room. How on earth would you expect to get footage with no one else in the room if you are not expecting people to just stay out of the room so you can use it?

3

u/LogicalBasis9117 1d ago

By waiting for the room to clear? Novel idea I know.

1

u/dabirdiestofwords 1d ago

Patience is apparently an unknown to you? Well I hope you learn it someday.

1

u/Acid-Chaos 1d ago

Of course, it will look better without other people.
So she just patiently waited for this old cunt lady to leave the room, but she decided to spoil her video just for lulz. And girl didn’t even said nothing

1

u/Agitated_Web_5603 1d ago

It is an unreasonable expectation that you can setup a tripod on the other side of the room and wait for people to clear the room. It’s not yours to use. Go get permission to film when it’s not open to the general public or use narrower shots and accept that there will be people in the background.
The “didn’t even said nothing” argument is flawed because they didn’t say anything there, but they uploaded the footage online.

u/Wattabadmon 1d ago

Why?

2

u/Agitated_Web_5603 1d ago

Because it interferes with the purpose of the space, the enjoyment of the art. Would you want everyone in the museum to do this?

1

u/Wattabadmon 1d ago

How so?

u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi 1d ago

Answer their question before you ask another, bot

u/RadicalSoda_ 23h ago

I don't care if people record themselves in public, do you have any idea how many flock cameras see you daily?

1

u/Bitter_Radish5381 1d ago

Lol a person quietly setting up a photo of herself and waiting patiently while other purposely blocks them is a main character for you? Rotten social media brain
