I'm an adult woman. I feel like missing something. To me, he looks like a drunk idiot who thinks he's funny. He's annoying and stupid and gets in her way (as many a drunk do) but he doesnt touch her or anything?
I dunno, I'm probably completely desensitized since I grew up around my fair share of alcoholics.
you're not missing something. the video title inserted the idea into everyone's heads now they can't get it out. ffs the guy is all over the dad as well too. he's just a drunk idiot, not a perv
thankgod the original uploader put a sticker on this dude's face. imagine getting drunk going out dancing, and dancing so bad the internet hunts you down for being a nonce.
dude crashed into the dad as well, his spacial reasoning was terrible cuz he was drunk. Dad is also on eye level so easier for him to see/avoid while drunk. Don't get me wrong if you see a dude like this in public I can understand fearing the worst and taking your kids somewhere safe but people in this thread are wild
Also it seems more like he was simply trying to not bump into anyone no? Like at the start he gets kinda pushed out by the girls behind him and then at the end (right before it zooms on dad) you can see another guy almost bumping into him
I think there’s a pretty solid chance the dad posted this without thinking of the drunk dude at all and some rando saw it, put the sticker on, inserted the comments and obvious TikTok voice, and came up with this title.
As you reply in a thread where a woman said she saw nothing wrong with this.
Bro, most of the nonce calling on the internet comes from young dudes, and 90% of it is them harassing girls over the age of consent for having the gall to not go out with someone who might be the same age as them but act like a literal child. Those girl's aren't dating nonces they're dating people who have actually grown up.
The other 10% is actually people calling out real nonces and that's not split by gender.
No because I’m not horrible enough to expect a CHILD to be the WOMAN who might give you a chance. I can’t believe you thought it was even appropriate to make a guess like that.
Sorry I don’t check my reddit for constant replies from dumbasses when I thought it was pretty clear what I meant. And NO it wasn’t that I was referring to the child as a woman meant to touch you. Pretty damn disgusting that you even thought that was what I meant.
Reminds me of the baseball vid from last week where everybody jumped down that dudes throat for being a shitty husband, just for the wife to tell everyone it was a special outing to help with the grief of a dead friend. Everyone is just looking for an excuse to tear people apart from a short video.
I was gonna say if anything, his "spatial awareness" probably improved because he was no longer looking straight over someone half his height. Don't get me wrong, drunks aren't fun to be around and the girl has every right to be uncomfortable, but I don't think we need to start a witch hunt here. The dude is crossing into everyone's lane.
I couldn't understand what the title meant because this just looked like a drunk dude not able to keep up with the "dance". In no part of the video did it look like he was targeting the girl, just stumbling around.
Yup, and that's probably all this is. Took my 16yo daughter to a Nothing More concert two weeks ago. Had a similarly thrashing around drunk guy near us (we were WAY in the back, lots of open space) and like this dad I just put myself between the drunk guy and her when I noticed her getting uncomfortable with him. No biggie.
Yeah it’s still a good video of parenting, the girl was for sure uncomfortable and in danger from the drunk, but that’s all we can tell from the video. Dad putting her in a safe position from a stumbling idiot is a good move and he deserves props.
Because most people on reddit are terrified of even the implication that they might not be morally upstanding. So a lot of people will grossly overcompensate, making claims that are aggregious and often times completely unfounded. But now you know that they disapprove of whatever it is they're claiming, thus establishing their superior morality
It's all just a bunch of posturing by people afraid of being cancelled for something they never said
Literally had a thread a week or two ago where some 20 year old dude said he didn't find teenagers attractive looking. Like not romantically attractive, but physically. Dude. You're 20. It's not weird to think a girl within a few years of you is attractive, quit fucking being weird, you're literally one year out of being a teen yourself.
I came to the comments just to see people debunking the title, then started wondering what I missed despite watching it twice. He steps into her line, when she is quite a distance away, and blocks her that once, but then doesn't seem to do it again. He ends up getting really close to her dad too a couple times?
Like he is a fucking drunk idiot, but was anything here that bad? Reading the comments, you would think he fucking groped her or something.
I concur. Dude moves out of the way because dad is super tall. Little girl is short. I abhor drunks but I’m not seeing someone who is trying to perv on a little girl. I see a drunk idiot. I see a visibly uncomfortable child getting trampled. I see a dad who notices and swaps spots.
he drunkenly stepped back into her 'line' such that collided. he did not body check her. and how can you say he went to annoy someone else when he almost collides with the dad....repeatedly? ffs the last frame is him almost colliding with the dad again
Bro I literally have a 1.5 year old daughter so I'm much more aware of these things than I used to be and I was like wtf is happening...she just knew the guy didn't know the dance so she didn't want him to fall on her. Stupidass weird video. Another one of those "why is this even being recorded" things.
Not to mention drunk and stupid can mean a difficult time noticing the vertically challenged. I am pretty tall and my buddy's wife is 4'11" and I have almost knocked her over so many times when we are all out drinking.
1) His spatial awareness did not improve at all.
2) It is disgusting, how reddit-people label him a pedo. He did not look at, touch or dance with the girl. Real pedo would not do so in front of Family.
3)You all need to reduce social Media. You are SICK!
Those people are not the brightest or very sheltered if they think this is in anyway anything other than a drunk dude stumbling around during a line dance. I guarantee you people who acutally have had experience with predators and people who are going to grope are not seeing this guy as being any other threat to the girl than tripping over her (it didn't even seem like he noticed she was there, which yah, is also its own problem with girls literally not being seen, but I digress on that point).
"a real pedo wouldn't do this in front of the family" uh no, there are plenty of child predators who are infamous for managing not just abuse children in front of their family but become close friends with the family while the abuse it going on. Convincing a child that people are seeing what's being done to them and don't care / think it's normal is a predator tactic. I'm not saying anything about this guy in particular, you're just wrong about that point
He nearly hits the guy at the end. He might've gotten better when dad was there, but he didn't stop altogether. Guys are gonna skeez, but drunks are still gonna drunk.
yeah. just an annoying drunk trying to participate. his spatial awareness does not improve when dad switches spots... they almost collide after.
drunk asshole sure, but calling him a pedo is bonkers.
I’m glad you said it. I grew up in the south around alcoholics and this is exactly what I’ve seen. I’m usually quick to side eye these things but I don’t think this guy is being a pedo. He’s in his own little world, out of step with everyone. He was doing the same thing to dad. He just think he’s being funny and since he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing with the dance anyway, he’s just leaning being absurd. I can imagine a whole little conversation he has to himself/anyone listening just because I’ve seen this exact scenario a hundred times lol
Nah you're right. People just be reading into everything. And to be fair, there's a lot of pedos out there it seems, but I don't think that he even knew she was there let alone targeting her.
Dude’s drunk and doesn’t know the moves, people on here are reaching. Dude would get laid out if anyone in that crowd had an inkling of a thought that he was trying to touch a little girl here
Dude looks a bit wobbly and off time, he's also line dancing on gravel/sand and carrying a drink, and not really paying attention. Doesn't seem that much better after the swap either
I noticed that while shes near him he was 90% of the time angled towards her. Facing her or orbiting her until the moment hefore they swap out which is weird as fuck. Hes definitely drunk as hell with no spatial awareness but he didnt orbit the dad
yeah i thought the same thing. i watched it once and was like...uh a drunk guy who can't dance is making a fool of himself. you aren't alone and you aren't crazy. there seems to be many weirdos in these comments who are reading into it way too much, though.
Misandry is honestly so much worse than misogyny that a bad dancer is literally all it takes to make an audience of 10s of thousands think he's a pedophile for literally nothing.
I’m genuinely wondering the same. I don’t deny he clearly made her uncomfortable. But it seems like more of a drunk bafoon thing than a creepy thing to me. He does line up right beside her, but it is a line dance, and he is stumbling. I’m not defending the behavior (either way, ew), but I’m not seeing objectification or pedo stuff.
Why would it EVER be ok for a strange man to repeatedly invade the personal space of a kid? At best, it’s clumsy and impolite; but as the video shows it’s purposeful (because it stops when the other man changes places with her) and meant to be intimidating and testing limits. This is bully behavior. This behavior is also utilized by sexual predators.
Because he's not "being funny" to a boy or a grown up who would get angry about it. He's trying to "be funny" with a young girl who he knows he can be an asshole to and probably get away with it. If the dad hadn't stepped in, it would have escalated to "Ooopps, I ran into you, let me catch you so I can put my hands on you and touch you where I shouldn't but you'll just think that I was trying to help."
