So I saw this video last night, laughed, and then went about my business of scrolling through Twitter for another hour even though I should be sleeping. Didnโt think much of it, other than that it might be on-air or blog fodder today.
Cut to the aforementioned โtoday.โ I went back to find the video and play the clip on the air, and when I clicked on it and started sifting through the comments, I was somewhat surprised to see this guy getting DRAGGED by a large majority of the people throwing in their two cents. โInappropriate, cringe, YIKES, this ainโt it,โ etc.
Iโve got to be honest, I thought this was amusing content at best, at worst it was a nothing burger. But maybe Iโm wrong? Iโll grant you, Iโm a middle-class white guy in his late late 20โs/early 30โs, so maybe Iโm simply missing a double standard here or not seeing it from someone elseโs perspective. Definitely a possibility. But it seemed like everyone involved here was having some innocent fun.
Soโฆ.thoughts? Like any good blogger/podcaster, I will wait for the majority opinion to be submitted and then parrot that take.
PS: I mean, pretty clever Tweet once he saw sentiment turning against him:
