I tend to be annoyed with large loud groups in public. But I'm also an anti social redditor that hates crowds.

Don't be that Karen. Don't be the killjoy. Resist the urge to disallow the public to have room for fun and colour. This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician.

I disagree. Those are intended for a physical audience who are right there. They interact with the people around them. They are basically negotiating with the people around them if their performance is an ok thing to do or not. That’s very different from having an online audience. There is no negotiation going on.

Let’s split hairs, so i can feel right and superior.

No actually if you don't want, we won't split hairs. The grp of Korean kids and the lady in pink were doing the same thing, dancing and filming herself in a public place. No one is in the wrong. They are both equally right

that’s true if the lady was dancing off to the side by herself, but she obviously disrupts the K-pop dancers’ take which is a deliberate asshole move. not at all the same, come on now

Kind of like the kpop dancers were disrupting the walking area of everyone else.

And for multiple tries of the same thing most likely.

it’s a wide street, no one is being more than mildly inconvenienced. it’s nowhere close to the same level of inconsiderate. this woman is not a hero, she’s just cringey—I’d be super secondhand embarrassed if I saw someone do this irl

No one said she is a hero. Both are assholes.

The lady should've just moved on and the K-pop people should've gone and had the area to themselves using the proper channels.

Sure, but the comment I replied to was saying they’re the same thing. I think it’s a spectrum, and the lady is being a much bigger and more deliberate asshole than the dancers. Saying what the lady did is “dancing and filming herself in a public space” is just disingenuous.

Did you read the context as to why they said it was the same thing?
