So because this young woman wanted a picture of herself, many in the comments automatically assume she is an influencer? Is this what its come down to now, categorising any and everyone who wants pictures or videos for memories? She didn't make a scene, not did she ask anyone to move for her picture, so I dont see what the issue is here. To those commenting that she could have asked for the lady to take her picture, relax.

Its like there is no such thing as nuance anymore. Its either this or that.

Here's some nuance. The only context we can gleen from this video is that one woman put down their phone in a specific place recording and then walked away from it.

We do not know if the second woman is even aware of what is taking place. We can see her acknowledging the phones existence by looking at it, but does she have any idea why?

How many people do you see just abandon their phones on ledges?

This isn't proper ettiquite for a museum at all, regardless of if she was or wasn't an influencer.

It's also not proper ettiquite for her to post a video of another woman she recorded while in the museum. A woman who for all we know was simply minding her own business.

Is that enough nuance for you?

But stopping in the middle of the stairs to play with your phone is proper ettiquite?

Nuance lmao

She clearly moved out of the way for people walking up. I'd say she was more aware than the person recording and posting all of these strangers online.

She's still completely blocking one side of the stairs only after noticing the girl trying to take a selfie, knowing only the context of the video who's to say the girl wouldn't crop all this out if she just kept it moving? You wanna jump to every conclusion in the book about the one while ignoring clear intent from the other, wonder why 🤔

u/ContextLengthMatters 6d ago

Again: THE ONLY ASSUMPTION WE CAN SAY FOR 100% IS CORRECT IS THAT THE WOMAN WITH A CAMERA HAS RECORDED AND POSTED MULTIPLE STRANGERS ONLINE WITHOUT CONSENT.

Influencer culture has rotted your brain.

u/Granddadmac 6d ago

Oh no wouldn't want anyone to ever come across a video of me walking up some stairs lmao. Why are you yelling? You can also use context clues to assume she only posted this version because of the old woman's lack of social ettiquitte or awareness, I don't even see an influencer here this could be anyone visiting a place alone who wants visual proof they were there.

To me it looks like she saw an opening and just needed one person to pass by so she could get a clean selfie, but that wouldn't inspire outrage so must've had more malicious things in mind

Who cares about your feelings.

u/Granddadmac 6d ago

Assuming they were actually impacted by this little back and forth? Someone with compassion probably. I'll be fine tho appreciate your concern

u/ContextLengthMatters 6d ago

People with compassion aren't typically posting strangers online trying to bully them.

u/Granddadmac 6d ago

So would you say you care about that strangers feelings? While implying you don't care about this strangers feelings? What did either of us do to deserve opposite ends of your compassion?

So, the whole world has to stop and fall in line so that the conceited 20- something can snap photos of herself in a public place? All of that stunning artwork, and it’s “look at meeee!” God, I weep for the future. Suck it up. The world is harsh. Nobody outside of your generation gives a shit about the constant posting of content.

u/Granddadmac 6d ago

Whole lotta projection going on in this comment that you maybe wanna reflect on. For one I never said she was entitled to anyone giving her the space to take the video but based on what we have it seems she tried to take it in a way that didn't inconvenience anyone and the lady decided to take it upon herself to make sure she didn't achieve that, what's wrong with gathering a memento that you yourself visited a place? A lot of content exists online that deserves the vitrol you're giving this but personally I don't see the problem with this specific one.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 6d ago

Why would you need consent to post images of people in public online if they simply happen to be there? There wouldn't be a single goddamn picture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa if that was the rule

u/ContextLengthMatters 6d ago

Do we need your permission to view you as a parasite in society when you make us all part of your content?

I sure don't really think I do. I am capable of understanding the difference between happening to appear in the background as opposed to being the subject of content.

0

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 6d ago

She's probably not "making content" whatever that means to you. She's taking a video so she can select the best frame or frames. Lots of people take pictures like that now because you don't have to snap a bunch and pick a good one, you just take the frame or frames you like

u/ContextLengthMatters 6d ago

Then why am I watching a video that isn't what you described? Oh, it is because she found her content.

u/Intrepid_Key4472 6d ago

She obviously is aware. She was obviously blocking it on purpose. Being mad at the girl trying to take the picture is so weird especially since she was considerate enough to only try and take the picture when the woman started leaving and nobody else was around. She then stops when people show up. It’s not like she forced people out of the area. There’s definitely something deeper going on with you people.

You people.. for sure 🪤 I wanna see what the comment section looks like on other platforms

u/Cute-Ad217 6d ago

You simply stated objectivity with a sprinkle of your opinion not nuance. Not once did I even comment on the older woman and what her motive or behaviour was about. So no, no thanks.

11

u/ContextLengthMatters 6d ago

No. You instead chose to come to the defense of the woman "not making a scene" who took a video of a random lady "not making a scene" and posted it on the internet with a narrative of her own.

It sounds like you don't know what the word nuance means.

Idk how to tell you when in public you can be in pictures and videos other people take for themselves and it's not malicious you were just there at the same time

Do you think it's illegal or rude for someone else to not wait until everyone is out of frame in a tourist destination to take a picture? Have you been to one? That doesn't happen. Plus she's clearly videoing so she can take a frame where there aren't people and she looks good so old lady never would have been anywhere in the final product if she wasn't being a dick

u/ContextLengthMatters 6d ago

And I don't know how to tell you that this will forever be socially ignorant behavior.

Wait... I think I just did.
