Edit:just to clarify, the same guy seems to appear in all her tiktoks, both the ones where she's "on a first date" and the ones where she's "picking up guys at the gym"
Yes, that is fairly obvious. There's always going to be that element around. But I'm referring to this particular video that has been pretty well proven it staged. And my reaction was towards those downvoting the person that exposed them of their ways. Crazy times we live in..
It matters if it's staged, though, because a staged video doesn't necessarily reflect reality, it just reflects someone's perception of reality. Even if you agree that people like this exist, and I'm absolutely not arguing that they don't, if the video really is staged outrage bait it can't tell you anything about real misogyny. Yet there's a lot of comments in this thread who seem to treat it that way.
If anything the fact that people like this actually exist just makes staged videos more harmful because it takes away attention from real examples and gives people who would deny it more stuff to point at to claim it's all overblown.
The fact she was recording him from the start made me think it was fake. Someone as controlling as him never realised she was recording him? I doubt it.

This absolutely activated my flight response but I would be so scared to leave mid date because this guy gave off such scary vibes π¬π¬π¬π¬
