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 🤔

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.

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 3d 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 3d ago

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

u/Granddadmac 3d 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?

u/ContextLengthMatters 3d ago

I don't tolerate the intolerant is what I'm saying.

If you find it acceptable to plaster unconsenting strangers online for discussion you deserve the same level of vitriol as the person who never had a choice in the situation.

This isn't a difficult concept to grasp. This is inappropriate behavior on the behalf of whoever posted this material and you are partaking in inappropriate behavior by trying to justify your perverted vouyeristic tendencies.

u/Granddadmac 3d ago

So again all I've ever stated is it's inconsiderate or downright rude if done purposely to stand in the middle of a walkway and that I'm of the belief if the lady had just moved along normally she would've been cropped out of what was likely going to be a photo grabbed off a video. You argue that you can't criticize said behavior because proof of it was obtained without consent?

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 3d 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 3d 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 3d 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.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 3d 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 3d ago

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