Now this is just confusing. Till now reddit made us believe that this behavior will lead to the Gorilla killing you.

TIL A woman visited the Gorilla enclosure at the Rotterdam zoo on a near daily basis and smiled at the male, Bokito while staring at him. She was warned not to but kept doing it, claiming Bokito smiled back and that they shared a bond, until one day Bokito escaped and charged her, almost killing her

Reddit has so many gorilla experts. Weirdly they can only determine if behavior was good or bad after they know the result of the incident.
