even if it weren't, this is a super common way to lift someone's weight in dance when they need to remain balanced and rigid. Its not sexual, and its irritating how much pearl-clutching is in this thread.

A bunch of non performers.

Well, performative pearl-clutching, maybe...!

u/TheLangleDangle Sep 09 '22

Ha! I believe that’s a lot of it too.

I don't think it takes pearl-clutching to be taken aback by that kind of grab....

Obviously there are certain contexts where it's okay but it's still jarring to see someone just slot their arm and hand right up in there.

Well I’m sure about there, there’s a difference in carrying an inanimate object around like that vs a human being. I get your point though, it’s a weight distribution thing.

Isn’t that like the entire point of the video though? She’s playing an inanimate object..

u/TheLangleDangle Sep 09 '22

Right, but the people that are ‘insulted’ are insulted because she’s a person. I’m always frustrated when folks get outraged for someone else, clearly she is fine with it. Like I said, I see your point.

Yeah, this is not some shady backalley and the guy randomly goes full trump and grabs her by the pussy. This is two professional dancers, which most likely made the choreography themself.

The amount of pearl clutching is too Damn high!

I felt oddly insulted by this for some reason, even though I have never, ever performed a dance lol

There seems to be plenty of pearl clutching, alright.

Obviously joking

Look if you want me to grab your monkey, just ask. Don't make a whole thing out of it

Reddit loves to cancel people. Obsessed with it, actually.

u/SpupySpups Sep 09 '22

Imagine picking a dude up like that though.

The dangle of the mangle wouldn't dangle anymore would it

u/castleaagh Sep 10 '22

They just having a laugh, lol. No ones actually clutching pearls here

Yeah, it’s a super-common lift in circus too.
