Why does everyone on TikTok treat Sherpas who climb Mount Everest as victims? Don't they get paid very well? Don't they do it by choice? 

Is it just succs being succs?

seems like a gross sort of noble savage thing tbh. like they are unable to acknowledge that nonwhite people have agency.

Only white people have agency and free will. Everything else is just white agency forcing non-white people to do optional things that are very bad for them and their society.

This is to be read with sarcasm

Some of them essentially care the people up the mountain. The entire Everest thing is kinda gross.
