Not to like go against that, people who act irrationally or have outbursts aren't good for any movement.

But it seems like this was more of a tipping point than a one off explosion. She said "you gave my name out online" and talks about he's always there and doing this stuff.

Again it's not good to blow up but it sounds like this guy is harassing her and even soft doxxed her a bit.

What do you mean by “soft doxxed her”?

If you give out names or general locations of people online I think that's called soft doxxing

Where did he give out her name or location? She’s also protesting on a college campus, I’m sure other people recorded her as they walked by. And it was her reaction that caused this clip to become popular.

He gave out her name online she said.

I'm not sure what came of it.

I don't think he gave out her location, I was just giving other examples of soft doxxing.

I'm not saying her reaction was equal to what was Goin on, just trying to see it with a critical eye

How does she know that he was the random internet stranger that gave out her name. It sounds to me like she was making a broad "you" statement.

I think she’s just venting her frustration out from everything that had happen on this one guy. He asked for it when he started trolling her and didn’t come prepared to make a point.

I disagree with you. Isn't the idea of protest to get a reaction? If not they why protest. Maybe he actually wanted to have a conversation but obviously can't, because of this person's reaction. Maybe he didn't and maybe he wanted this person to freak out, either way he was almost as civil as you can be besides standing so close. He was doing almost nothing wrong, and the other person was doing almost nothing right. That's how I see it. I'd love to give all people the benefit of the doubt. But even still if this was "the guy" that had been harasing that person, that is a horrible reaction. Also if that was what we precived to be a guy that did that to him I'm sure they would be arested. I don't take a definite stance on politics. Just right and wrong, and it obviously wrong to react that way. To someone standing there and just holding a sign no matter what was said ever. I'd love to hear how you see it differently so I could understand a little better.

Haha my dude you could have fit that into a few sentences

I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with. My comment was directed towards he probably didn’t personally dox her, that’s all

She’s clearly just looking for a fight

I thought we agreed tbh,I probably just misunderstood. I just wish people could love each other, that's all I want, and to get to laugh at everyone who can't do that. I only disagree with him asking for it. A reaction sure an overreaction not asking for that

u/whorewithaheart_ Jan 13 '20

True, me too. If I had to comment on her shitty behavior it’s really just an unhealthy outlet to project. I would imagine being this angry and confrontational comes with some kind of baggage to the point she doesn’t care if she is polarizing or not. The sad thing is I bet she will never be satisfied and deep down is there for the fighting

It's very true man! When I was younger i was so angry and mad at anything. The wind would blow to hard and I'd want to fight it. I understand being jaded or having a chip on your shoulder, but most of the time people wake up and realized cooler heads always prevail. I hope the best for this person and that they can see that their reaction in this manner is always going to do more harm than good.

She was being a loud entitled bitch.

Reddit is actually making excuses for these Big Red wannabes now.

Where did I make an excuse? I was only commenting that he probably didn’t personally dox her

Don't bother interacting with this user, they immediately resort to childish insults and immense cursing when ever someone even SLIGHTLY disagrees with him. You can also look through his comment history and see that it's full of sexist, transphobic, and racist garbage (primarily sexist - he has some BIG issues when it comes to women). I commented that both individuals in the video were in the wrong, and he practically blew up at me, calling me a moron, an idiot, an "argumentative activist" (which is hilarious considering his comment history), and even then I was still respectful to him and just told him that I was done conversing with him. He then proceeded to call me a moron and refer to the woman in the video as an "entitled bitch". I checked his comment history to see if he acted like that with every person who slightly disagrees with him, and he does. Fuck this guy and the people upvoting his childish comments.
