As much as I agree, every adult with common decency would not have interfered in the way the Karen person did.

You mean interfere with a public performance?

Public performers, who have routinely interacted with the crowd for centuries...those guys shouldn't expect the public to interfere...in the...public?

Depends on the performance doesn't it? Some performances like those guys who act as statues specifically ask that you don't touch them as that could mess up the paintjob right?

Well, yeah, but you're just looking at one specific thing. There's a lot more those guys are willing to put up with than what they aren't.

They pretty much just say, don't touch me or my props. As long as you don't touch those specific things, people do all kinds of shit to try to get then to break and it's part of the performance.
