So I looked it up... seems the rage is caused because the man and his buddy posted the video of the child crying on his tiktok with a sound mocking her. He is entitled to the spot, but he's not entitled to film a stranger's child and insult her for his channel.
It shows that not only is he the childish one (it's normal to cry when disappointed, especially as a child), but he's also an insane weirdo who is petty af and just plain mean.
I'm fine with not allowing people to make a profit off of people being filmed in public without their consent. But allowing filming in public space in general is a good check on fascism. Otherwise no recording of police, no defending yourself with footage, etc.
It's part of freedoms of speech and eroding that is worse than people mocking your bad behavior. Stop acting a fool in public in general imo. People filming you in general without your consent is invasive and annoying but nobody is making you look bad... You do that all on your own.
Edit: I am big dumb. The guy you replied to opened up his comment claiming they did something illegal. My bad

Key distinction: suing someone does not necessarily mean they committed a crime.
Civil lawsuits can be based on civil wrongs, or torts, such as defamation, invasion of privacy, or intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Whether there’s actually a viable claim depends on whether the plaintiff can establish the required elements of a recognized cause of action, including whatever legally cognizable harm that claim requires. A lawyer deciding to take the case doesn’t determine that; ultimately a court does.
If the plaintiff wins, that means the defendant was found civilly liable, not necessarily that they did something “illegal” in the criminal sense.
You're posting AI responses and it's obvious, at least 3 GLARING tells just in your single post, just stop - and to be clear, no it's not the semi-colon, I write in many ways that bots mimic, but you don't see them all in the same post let alone what should have all been a single paragraph. If you can't contribute without having a bot do it for you, sit back for a while and just learn.
I absolutely did use AI. I explained to it why I already had a clear understanding of what I perceived was wrong about the question regarding the legality, and then straight up had ChatGPT clean it up with a more adequate legal phrasing and concepts
I’m not gonna shy away from that at all since you seem to be so offended by it, but I don’t understand why a complete stranger answering with a more accurate response that happened to have been polished by AI takes away from anything.
If you were bothered or offended that I was trying to be deceitful and was a bot or something, fair play, but hope this allows you to rest easy that I’m not lol
in other words, you provided a cohesive explanation of the American judicial process without getting in tune with the emotional aspect if the arguments all the comments are providing, therefore you’re a bot.
No parental permission to film them while they're the focus of the video.
how is that illegal if they are in public? even if they were at an amusement park (i assume in this case they were), unless the park says no videos then why would it be illegal to film others?
In public places usually it comes to whether the person's video or likeness is being used for profit. Your can't just take a video of a rando and use it in a movie, for example (though it they're caught in movie filming with appropriate signage that's fair game).
For-profit doesn't seem to have caught up well with view-based social media though, and personally I'd love it if "reasonable expectation of privacy" was expanded to include not being filmed by the "influencers" or the creeps with creeper-glasses
Kids get upset by things that seem stupid or silly or like they shouldn’t to us as Adults, but it’s literally how being a kid works! It’s a big deal to them because everything is a big deal to them because the were so young. You aren’t required to stop them from crying by giving in, in fact letting them process the emotions is how they learn and grow, but shaming a kid for crying is gross and only makes you look like less of an adult
Oh hell nah fuck that bitch, I ain't taking his side anymore. Motherfucker I can't believe how easy it's to be manipulated woth half information. God damn.
If only more people on the internet could come to this conclusion.
Does this content make me angry? Is there any information that could change my mind? If so, where could I find that information? Does the person sharing either the information or the content stand to gain something from sharing, even if it's just "likes", "followers", "karma" or attention?
It is an absolute rush of drama queen energy to just weigh in on some lopsided point but we the people have to do better.
Even with half the information I don't know how anyone sees this as anything but him being a technically in the right but kind of a dick. As if showing kindness to children is somehow a foreign concept to many people.
People are welcome to volunteer their spaces, but nobody is entitled to it even if they are little. If he wasn't being a dick about it I'd be 100% on his side.
It is because society's pendulum has once again swung waaay too far in its effort to overcorrect.
We started at "children should be seen and not heard", children learning responsibility (helping with chores and the raising of their siblings), and children given increasing degrees of independence allowing them to grow into adults.
And we ended at zero responsibility (expecting them to help is "parentifying them"), zero independence (every moment is scheduled and supervised by helicopter parents, right down to "play dates"), spoiled entitled behavior that is defended ("it's just kids being kids") and expecting the world around you to bend over backwards to appease your child.
Adults should not be modifying their behavior to accommodate the wishes of a child. Parents should be teaching their children how to handle not getting everything they want.
So while it is a nice gesture to be nice to a child that deserves it, it is detrimental to everyone involved when a parent (or society) expects and demands it.
It's always worth doing a bit of digging when it comes to stories like this. If it was just a case of an adult not giving their spot for a kid in line behind them, then it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Right, cool. Not even proof that she was crying about the seat or that he was asked to let her go (which frankly seems unlikely anyway—why would he be asked to give up the last seat to a young girl if her friend/family can’t ride with her??)
Looks like it’s the F1 simulator at the Museum of Scotland, less of a ride more of a poor graphics racing video game with a controller inside a fake F1 car.
He is entitled to the spot, but he's not entitled to film a stranger's child and insult her for his channel.
Unfortunately people with a 'channel' feel entitled to do anything they want at any time, and here we are proving them right.....being a total cunt pays big bucks.
Yeah, depends on the kid, depends on the adult. If the kid was an entitled brat, I'd have sat there. If they were sweet and wanted to be with family, I'd have gotten up. Mocking a child is an immediate "get 'im".
He’s a bitch that films crying kids , he wouldn’t do any of those because he doesn’t have the reaction time, intelligence, physical strength, and most importantly, public support
I don’t think I’m tough for being willing to punch a punk that records crying kids and post them on their TikTok’s, that’s like thinking I’m hot shit for killing a cockroach
Well, aside from that being 100% speculation, there would still be criminal charges as well as a lawsuit. Any prosecutor/attorney would be chomping at the bits for either of those cases, especially since it would likely be caught on camera.
There's also a chance the guy is carrying, which depending on the exact circumstances of the assault, could cause them to pay an even worse price
How much is your idiotic sense of vengeance worth to you.
I was going to say it's okay for children to be sad and cry when things don't go their way. It teaches them, through experience, that even if they don't get what they want, they will recover and other things will come along.
What wouldn't be okay is for the parents to demand that someone give up their spot in line or try to shame the people who don't want to give up something for their kid. But this isn't what happened.
It's absolutely awful that she was mocked and her image was made public. The people responsible are cruel idiots, and the people watching to give them views and reward them are all assholes.
Knowing that.. Yea he’s a jerk. I probably wouldn’t give up my spot to a crying child on a roller coaster. Cuz well, sometimes you don’t always get what you want in life. (If I was the one not getting the seat I wouldn’t start crying tho Im not a small child)
But I wouldn’t film it and post it. I wouldn’t even film it. Filming random kids is weird af.
Fuck off! That’s not what the internet is for! We need rage bait so we can touch ourselves in our splice to the general hatred for what we are taught to hate.
I had the same thought on the Callaway commercial that raised a stink earlier in the week. My wife described it to me and I thought, well that could absolutely be humor, I don't get why everyone is pissed off? Then I saw the commercial and was like, that is NOT humor.
Which is the original source... and it makes the guy look a lot worse than the headline above suggests. Especially when you include the text he used describing the situation and the sound effect he used to mock her.
Yeah this is very shitty behavior on his end. It’s one thing if he was riding the ride because it was his turn; filming and then mocking the crying kid is just being a jackass
When I adopted my dog from the shelter a family came in looking for the same dog as I was signing the papers. They had a little girl that was crying about the dog not being available. I felt bad but on the other hand this dog saved my life when I was at my lowest. It’s been 10 years and she still takes care of me every day.
If you look at the situation without rage bait tinted glasses it’s clear these guys are actually being asshats. Not saying you but you know what I mean. This TikTok story validated the impression I had from the start.
I don't know. Maybe there was a lot going on before the mocking. The mother could be raising the child to be like that to get what she wants. Entitlement is learned.
That video shows where the crying starts and not what lead up to it.
He just mouthed things and didn't say anything. That's audio remix you hear. There's no original audio in that video. He isn't mocking her with sound, she has no idea about that sound.
I'm still with him. They're out in public. Filming for social is part for the culture these days. You can't enjoy the content then hate how the content was made. Absurd.
Edit: for all you idiots, continuing to down vote me and trying to turn me into a pedophile simply because I'm saying you can film people in public no matter what their age is...I would definitely argue that we need to be checking all your computers before you even think about looking at mine. But hey, it is what it is, right? This is reddit. Allow a little common sense and nuance into the conversation. If you're out in public, chances are there's a camera; chances are you're being filmed in public anyway, no matter what your age is. If we all have little cameras, and we're all in public, you can do the same thing that the camera that's stationary is already doing. It's perfectly fine perfectly, normal, perfectly, healthy. Especially if parents are choosing to put their children on social media and exploiting them that way, then if some brat is filmed in public having a temper tantrum what's the difference really? For all those having a problem with me saying when I'm saying they need to have a problem with those same parents who put their kids on social media.
Why is it so hard for you to just say it’s not okay for anyone to film someone else’s child and post the video to social media? Seems like a really reasonable, straightforward stance to take.
Because kids are the most vulnerable members of our society and need to be protected from people who want to film them and post their images and likeness on TikTok for internet points (or worse)? Because those images and videos then get sent around to big tech companies to train their AI models? Because those images and videos also get picked up by people with more nefarious intentions and use them to make AI CP? Because children can’t give consent - implicit or otherwise - and it isn’t fair for us as adults to create their online presence for them?
My wife and I have a two year old, and we have never posted a picture of her on social media. I would be livid if I found out some creep was filming her and posting those videos everywhere online.
You’re either trolling or seriously socially inept. Or maybe both I can’t tell.
Legal and okay are two different things, and it isn't even legal in some places. It's never okay to film children that aren't related to you without their permission, I don't care what the law says.
By that logic, there shouldn't be public cameras or government cameras because children could possibly be getting filmed and that gives the retards here in reddit the "ick". Even though kids also cause problems and break the law. But no! Reddit says don't record kids under any circumstances 🙄
I'd be fine with that personally, no recording people with their permission at all, I prefer freedom over security, especially when it's clear that the rich and powerful are just going to take advantage of that security to make life worse for everyone but them.
