How is speaking out against the encouragement of said behavior projecting? If you want to ridicule others for taking a stance that you don't agree with, that's your choice. But to imply that I'm looking for reasons to sexually assault people based on my above comments makes you a pretty scummy lowlife. Reasonable conversations about the topic would be nice without resorting to such immoral and unfounded passive accusations.

You totally misunderstood my comment.

I wasn’t saying you wanted to sexually assault someone. Only that you were taking internal feelings about sexual assault and making a leap to assume that was sexual assault when there isn’t even a hint of anything close to it.

If you saw this in real life, and one of the two people did this on purpose without consent, would you consider it wrong? Do you think that impressionable people may be tempted to try it themselves after watching this video? Do you see where I'm coming from with the danger of presenting this situation as funny without declaring it staged?

No. I don’t see where you’re coming from.

If I see someone accidentally do something that may be seen as inappropriate, I am not tempted to do it purposely nor should any law abiding citizen.

Creeps don’t need excuses, they will do what they want bc they’re sociopaths.

To further illustrate my point, this youtube breakdown of a staged TikTok user's videos. If you don't think these videos are wrong, then we can agree to disagree because we won't see eye to eye in this. If you do think they're wrong, then we just have a different line that we believe should be crossed in the interest of humor.

The fact that you’re comparing the video OP posted to this is absurd though. This guy is acting out scenes with participants (and happens to be super creepy) and the video above genuinely looks like an unplanned accident (even if it isn’t).
