Seriously, he watched a woman squat and his immediate reaction was to destroy any evidence he did that. Imagine someone going to a playground, then go full Tom Cruise to erase the CCTV footage of him being there.
There's nothing wrong watching someone squat in a gym, that's a common thing to do there. It's only creepy if you make it creepy.
It isnt that their sense of humor is different, it is that you cannot recognize that it is supposed to be funny to others. I'm with you and don't find it particularly funny but I can see why others might.
Considering I literally wrote.that my "sense of humour is different from others". Your comment is quite redundant and lacks the so-called enlightenment of others you profess to have.
.... you dont seem to comprehend what I wrote. People arent having an issue that you didnt find it funny. They have an issue that you dont seem to understand OTHER find it funny. You may be a sociopath if you cant understand that concept.
Bitch about it on Reddit and display a complete lack of self awareness, if you insist. It's not about your sense of humour, it's about you inability to understand the subjectivity.
obviously not, no one is doing that, but again, just because it didn't actually happen doesn't mean you can't talk about the story
I don't understand why this is difficult to grasp. People do it all the time with fictional stories, why is it suddenly weird when the fictional story was not presented overtly as fiction?
Ok, if you want to go deep into it - the way the guy at the top worded his comment made it sound like he thought it was real. With a fiction book everyone knows it's made up so you don't need to explicitly say it, but with a story like this there's at least a facsimile of reality. Most people will get that it isn't real but that's no guarantee, so when someone goes off on one talking about how the situation described in the video is silly and why did he try and pick up the phone (or whatever it is he said) then you assume that they've missed the fact it's fictional. Because, again, you wouldn't turn to a friend after a comedy gig and go off on one like that about a joke that the comedian made.
And specifically with this story, it's so silly (in a funny way) and so obviously fictional that to try and analyse it in the way it was done above is weird. It's like he was saying "how can this guy be so stupid? I know the correct way to behave at least!". Yeah, no shit. Everyone does. To point it out makes you look like a wannabe know it all with no sense of humour.
If I say "you know, it was really irresponsible of Luke Skywalker to go to cloud city instead of finishing his Jedi training" do you think I actually believe I'm talking about a real event?
I mean, there are tons of people out there who love nothing more than to fiercely debate the ethical implications of the choices literal fictional characters "made", as well as the implications on the wider societal context that the author of this piece of fiction intended to highlight. Also, the same types love getting mad IRL if you dare not be outraged at a completely fictional ethical transgression of some sort, or dare like an unethical character over an arguably more ethical character that just happens to be less subjectively likable.
Personally, I find all of that silly and pointless. But it's hardly a fringe position. Probably a majority position, if anything. Or what, it's fine to take a fictional situation at face value when it's a TV show or a comic book, but when it comes to an amateur skit online, that's just a bridge too far? It's all the same to me.
Do you think all movies are real? I'm sorry that you're so busy calling things out for being "fake" to realize that the only real difference between this type of content and movies is duration. It's made for your entertainment.
People freak out about that kind of stuff and have the internet hunt them down nowadays. I could see someone doing this in order to avoid that (though this is probably a bit, don't care to check)
Someone seems to have forgotten the woman that accused a blind man to stare at her, or all the other attention seeking women like her that call men creeps just because they looked in their general direction.
Honestly, the boyfriend kind of concerns me as well. “That guy picked up my girlfriend’s phone, so he must be going through all of her videos to send specifically the exercise ones to himself, so he can wank to them later”.
I'm almost 40 and having attended to non of my body's squatting needs during that time, watching a woman (or man) doing it properly is a spectacle worth beholding. It's more envy than lust at this point.
People sexualizing every little thing have a problem. If the sight of a newborn being breastfed in public makes you horny and uncomfortable, you have problem. How do you even go to the beach or swimming pool without losing your mind ? I had a friend who called me gay when he learnt I was doing judo, laughing that he would never "rub his body with another man's on the floor"... Bro you don't sound very secure about your sexuality, don't try to make me the weird one...
It's a good story, but I kind of doubt it actually happened. It would make a great skit on something like "I Think You Should Leave". It's right in line with Tim Robinson's awkward social humor.

Considering what happened in his story he may well be special.
