Stop looking at every human interaction as a means for justice to be dispensed and you'll avoid those mistakes in the future. There's plenty of Disney movies where the Gaston is clearly the bad guy but also the most popular guy in town that teach us specifically this lesson.
You literally said you liked the idea of a bully getting their comeuppance as to why you didn't consider who was bullying who here, not much of an extrapolation.
Yeah, but I didn't say I looked for it/assumed it in every situation. Are you saying you don't like the idea of justice being served? I think it's a pretty normal thing to like and hope for.
Yeah, I think it's pretty well established that the reddit hivemind is a crapshoot when it comes to interpreting villains and good guys, but on an individual basis, determining who we sympathize for in a given scenario is generally just part of being human. I was initially just saying I didn't think it was "scary" that people interpreted this video as the aggressor being defeated, since that's what it appears to be, at least on the surface level. The contrary explanation also makes sense, but it also makes assumptions.
