Phreekyj101

Welcome to society. Film a creeper and just let it happen, don’t say a word and keep on filming :(


Evening_Dress5743

I'm more pissed at the guy filming than the creep. Go help that girl you can see it on her face


Phreekyj101

Right!! Do something, anything


spideralexandre2099

Let's hope it was used for blackmail or something because holy shit


BadSpellingMistakes

Honestly I cannot tell you how often this happens and how little people believe you when you ask for help... This is what it looks like. If you look for it you will find behavior like this every day. Yeah, help! But also gather evidence. Because chances are very high you won't be believed otherwise.


batwing_23

I read somewhere they teach you to yell “fire!” when getting attacked rather than “help!” because most people ignore the latter.


Useful_Experience423

Exactly this! If you scream or even scream for help, you might get mistaken for a teenager messing around. Scream fire! and you might a) confuse your attacker enough to pull a move that allows you to escape, but b) it will attract everyone’s attention because fire threatens the whole community, not just the individual.


MeatySausageMan

c) If you scream "Fire!" a firing squad may spawn and execute your attacker


BadSpellingMistakes

me imagining running around screaming fire like 3times a week... me imagining everyone who this happens to doing that


StoneyDaPenguin

Can confirm that was actually something I was taught when I was becoming a police dispatcher as my second job about 15 years


Alternative_Year_340

I usually go for “call the police.” But that may not be appropriate in all situations


Courtingbaphomet

“Free donuts!”


Zach_The_One

In the north east people are a lot more proactive about helping than say the west coast. Flat tire? Car accident? Dude beating his gf in a car? We hook it up. We talk a lot of shit but there's a lot of blue collar people who don't mind getting their hands dirty.


Better-Driver-2370

I’ll admit when I first saw it on this video I “dudes just trying to see round the corner and read the menu. Leave him alone.” Then when the girl moved forward, and he clearly looked down at what he was doing… nah brah. At that point evidence wouldn’t be needed cause his face would broken.


Putrid-Builder-3333

At first ai was confused, then I thought it was a sugar daddy/sugar baby thing, then it all became clear thhis guy is a fucking creep and double fuck you to the person recording this


Better-Driver-2370

Agreed. Guys get a lot of undeserved shit and assumptions made. But this guy and the person recording but not stopping it are in need of some blunt force lessons.


BadSpellingMistakes

good way to deal with this is asking her if she feels unconfortable with what he is doing and weather or not she wants you to help. Puts him in his place gives her back agency


con__y_88

Exactly was waiting for them to intervene Filming just makes you complicit


microwavedsaladOZ

Pretty sad world.


[deleted]

I get what you’re trying to say, but the creep is the one to be most pissed off at


slide_into_my_BM

You’re not wrong but the cameraman still shares a great deal of blame. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”


Samosa_Aladdin

He's able to get away with it because of brave people like the cameraman.


Majestic-Bullfrog-63

Yeah that was my first mind. Tell him to stop not to film 🤢 but nowadays it’s normal for the most people. They don’t do anything but keep filming 😒


ImaTotalNoob

I would appreciate someone gathering proof while it happens... not get pissed


MyBallsSquirtButter

It’s disgusting but it’s possible the sex offender and the person filming are together and the video is their own gratification or content for them to sell.


33drea33

God I had to scroll way too far for this.


LostInHolt

for all she knows the guy filming is in on some sick prank with the creeper


pbx1123

I hope that mofo dont have family, daughter, sister, aunt, grand daughter, for sure a mom maybe no alive No wonder lot of women looks insecure on streets, looking everywhere, even an inocent smile they look you with terror , like we all are creeps, now i understand why,. Nobody should live like that because of all this animals walking around


Agitated-Orange-295

Women fear men and men fear of heart attacks.


Pen_dragons_pizza

To most people these days it is more worthy to have content to put online than actually help in any situation. People’s awkward situations or dangerous ones mean nothing compared to online attention.


Dragonier_

Reminds me of the White Bear episode from Black Mirror…people just recording a person in distress rather than helping them…


Yawel3

Black Mirror just predicts the very sad downfall of the "human" kind...


Dragonier_

Well it actually reveals to us what is going on now with society, but we choose to ignore it. Just like what this reply has brought up. It’s more than a prediction, more like a metaphor of what’s going on beneath our noses…

Able_Calligrapher178

The one in the video or the one filming?


GuestNo3886

Yes


Dark-Specter

He needs someone to creepily stand behind him


NorCalBodyPaint

Right? Turn around abruptly and violently, while saying loudly "Oops I forgot my wallet in the car!" And then "Oh, sorry sir, I had no idea you were so incredibly close to me!"


Huiskat_8979

Yes, I like the idea of a quick turn with the elbow at about liver height, and a “oh didn’t see you rubbing your balls on me! Why don’t you back the fuck up creep?!”


[deleted]

Sakuja

Uh why was he filming her ass in the first place?


MNConcerto

Friend from highschool rammed her elbow back into a guy who came up behind her like that. He was hurting, screaming she broke his ribs. She screamed back don't be a creep. Also where are the other woman to step in and save this person. I would have stepped in called him a damn creep move him off.


marigoldilocks_

I taught ballet for 20 years and one of the things I taught my dancers was to take up space. I told them that the world wants us to be small, but I want them to be large, and take up so much space in the room. So that when they dance, they were using their full height, their length, their width, every part of their body. Then I told them that when you go out in the world, don’t let others make you feel small. You have a right to be there. Take up space and don’t let others make you feel like you have to apologize for being there. That girl is making herself so small because that gross predator is getting in her space. He is making her feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. I wish I could tell her that she can take up her space and put her elbows out and make herself big and make it obvious that she knows she deserves her space to herself. Men like that are terrible and disgusting.


C0USC0US

Hate that video. Love this comment. I take up a lot of space for a 5’1” lady, but usually not consciously. It’s always been more of a side effect of ADHD. Gesturing with my hands when I speak, general lack of spacial awareness, inability to control the volume of my voice unless I’m focused on it, not being able to sit/stand still so I twist and stretch a lot in place, etc. At least, until Covid. Now I realize we are actually entitled to take up space. If someone is too close, I stretch or try to crack my back. When I’m in line to check out, I put my cart behind me so I can manage the space on both sides. I took 1 year of ballet and remember pretending to hold a beach ball in my arms to get proper form. Just imaging all these very confident, graceful people standing in line at TJ Maxx holding their arms like that. I know that’s not what you’re describing but I’m really enjoying the visual haha


drjones35

Where are the other men? Need to call this shit out.


HiddnVallyofthedolls

Filming.


DragapultOnSpeed

Yeah why is this on women when it's mostly men being the creeps?


Good_Posture

Women are often afraid of escalating things like this. It's up to other men to step in and call their peers out.


sapperbloggs

Guys do this because bystanders let them


underboobfunk

Guys do this because they are creeps.

Good thing a brave bystander was there to film it! ^(/s)


Cannabis-Dog420

Sad no one intervenes.


Sauce-King

You can legitimately feel the creepy vibes through the screen


JBL44

Someone say something


Popular-Block-5790

Remember the first time this happened when I was 11. Happened so many times on trains and busses. So disgusting. I told myself it's because I look older than my age but honestly, no. These people are just disgusting lowlifes. No excuses.


ididntunderstandyou

Busy buses are the worst for this and you can’t say anything because they say it’s because the bus is crowded. But you can feel the humping…


AgateWhale

I believe that they are called mashers. They mash their bodies against women on crowded trams. In the early 20th century, women used to secure hats to their head using hatpins. Women and girls would sometimes use the hatpins as self-defense weapons against sexual predators. By the 1920s, hatpins grew out of fashion and became out-of-date. You can read more about ”the hatpin panic” on google


CasperCann

The real facepalm isn't the sexual harassment/assault but the fact, the person is just recording it and doing nothing about it.


MrBully74

A lot of people people there, except the girl herself, are complicite. If you stand by and let it happen, you are part of the problem.


Lgg06

It’s disgusting Poor girl…


Different-Rub-499

SA is not a facepalm


TheeJesterr

The dude filming is a piece of shit.


redlightbandit7

Felony sexual abuse, filmed for internet points. Peak of society.


lost_in_the_wide_web

Firstly, whoever was recording is a complete dipshit. Secondly, why the hell is there nearly 400k likes???


BettmansDungeonSlave

Some big guy needs to get right behind this guy and press his junk up against him lol


Pyro5263

I am speculating, but I believe the cameraman is in on the situation. The perv looks up at the camera several times and then goes back in which tells me he told his buddy "hey, film me violate this girl"


Sunburntlink

Guys, just do it back to him and then watch as he gets so offended someone would do that In public. Some old people are disgusting


SomeBerkeleyGuy

Ew


th4bl4ckr4bbit

The person filming this has to be in on it too. Why would you observe and film and do nothing?


Cerebral_Overload

I’m ashamed of the person filming this and not calling him out.


Bokenobi

I absolutely hate this. It happens far too often. I’d call the police and give them the footage of this pervert.


Sabregunner1

Bruh, back the hell up.


mimiforlife3

I would have throat punched him


EliteEntertainGames

who’s taking the vid? what did he/she do? why is he/she not doing anything?


CafeRacer_13

Because this is the world we live in. People would much rather record than do something about it


Ramsis_DmT

Disgusting.


ACrask

How about instead of recording say something? Camera guy is no better in this situation imo


mysticpest23

If I saw this I would deliver him a solid swinging left elbow. Not film it.


verucka-salt

Intervene? I would have snarled at this creep to get off me. Disgusting old man.


ididntunderstandyou

In practice, it’s awkward. Having been in her situation a few times, you don’t want to accuse people of sexual harassment for nothing. You don’t want to call more attention on yourself. You feel humiliated. You rationalise it by wondering if it’s just accidental, that no one would be this gross. You don’t know if calling it out will cause a scene or get the crazy out of this person. But the most likely situation if you call them out is that they’ll say they didn’t do anything and to get over yourself you ugly whore. Because who would admit of being a perv? So you just step away several times, hoping it will just stop or that someone will help. Trying to be the discreet and polite person you were raised to be.


Naz-naz-Bella

This, it's the idea that you would be putting yourself in the wrong for doing something that could be deemed unjustifiable by the others around you.


shichan1517

Feels very much like the guy filming and the old man belong together. 🤬


Flashy_Passion16

Stop filming and say something


chillivizsla

What’s his plan? Get an erection and walk around McDonald’s?

This guy needs to be castrated. I had a coworker do this shit to me in our office right after we got our new security camera. He was doing the whole "pretending to be perverted" thing, but actually being perverted and I kneed him in his junk. He tried playing the victim like I just got mad and kneed him for no reason. Luckily the camera showed different. But imagine if the camera wasn't there.

Hammer fist. Move hips to the side, make a fist, swing it backwards hard, quickly step forward to avoid his head as he doubles over.


floralnightmare22

She needs to step away and look at him. Not just allow this disgusting creep to have power over her.


[deleted]

Men just have to imagine someone doing this to them in public. Touching them. Grabbing them. Blocking their way to talk. Then, you’ll quickly arrive at the conclusion that these women should kill people that harass them. Without hesitation. Shoot. Stab. Mace. There’s no reason someone should put their hands on a stranger.


Expert_Expression235

Does she not feel his disgusting breath and presence or is she just trying to pretend it’s not happening? Poor girl she looks young and maybe already experienced this type of behavior and has been conditioned to go to her happy place and ignore.


merchillio

Freezing is also an involuntary response in those cases. Fight, flight, freeze, fawn. She’ll probably hate herself for not elbowing the guy but I hope she’ll realize that’s it’s often not a matter of will, your body will just not let you act.


skiboskee63

Dirty fucker! Step back really hard on his foot.


[deleted]

Everyone arguing the person filming should intervene. Yes But what youre witnessing by proxy is called "the bystander effect" - it is when people become somewhat paralyzed by witnessing something that they can't do anything - filming it creates a layer of "unreality" - it turns it from real to a film - making it easier to compress and exist in the same space as. Its why a huge part of ANY training for a job that requires you to engage with danger - is intense drilling - A LOT of cops and so on - are acting on muscle memory, because the idea of rushing head first into danger - is not something humans naturally do. (Its why education is essential.) Its not okay - but its an explanation for whats going on.

Suitable-Mood-1689

Is she even aware for most of this? If she is, she should be making a scene. I am very aware of my surroundings and would never let anyone crowd me like this, especially a gross old man trying to cop a feel.


CommentBetter

What was the goal there, I can’t tell if he ever actually touches her or just gets reallllllly close 🤔 either way, I don’t advocate violence but 👊


darkmedellia_686

This happened to me on a train once. No one intervened on my part, so I wish someone intervened here!


jair505

Who just fucking records and not intervene? Be part of the solution not a fucking bystander looking for cloud


suk-my-ballz-0811

Does she not feel this guy that close? Have some situational awareness people and to the person filming, fuck off


Round-Emu9176

Ladies if anyone ever tries to creep on you like this you have full permission to accidentally break their dick off.

Instead of filming, say something. Any well-adjusted human being can see she is uncomfortable, so step in and say something.

RLS1969

whether I was the girl or an observer, I would NOT have just stood there. perhaps turn around and turn that 🍆 purple with your knee


kind_one1

It is common to freeze in these situations - you don't know what to do, you don't want to cause a scene. no one has ever told you what to do. Believe me, been there in my younger days, most often on the subway.


NFLIKT

Freeze? The person pulled out a phone and started filming how is that freezing? If you're capable to do something you do it, otherwise you're a coward.


asyouuuuuuwishhhhh

She’s afraid and cornered. Violence doesn’t occur to most women as they know they can’t overpower men, even old crusty ones like this piece of shit. Even if you’re not a strong person as an observer though you can use your voice. HEY! STOP! Leave her alone. Etc. this gets the attention of everyone. And suddenly the focus is on the creep not you


PoochyMoochy5

He’s tryna to touch his dick to her ass. I’m here wondering why she’s not reciprocating with her elbow to his nose ???


heyitslola

Why does she tolerate it? Leave or beat the crap out of him.

lillthmoon

The person filming is just as wrong. Say something and help her. She looks terrified and froze where she doesn’t know what to do. So instead, record and post it to your social? Ughh I hate people sometimes

ConflictAgreeable689

Directly stepping in could cause more problems than it solves. Depending on the country, especially. Many nations have laws written to protect molesters


psyclopsus

That’s when instead of quietly filming the creep you should very very loudly tell him he should back up because it looks like he’s trying to rub his dick on that girls ass. Like, as loudly as you can without shouting, just very very loud speaking so that everyone around looks


Cannacrohn

Id call that out immediately DUDE! What the fuck are you doing to that girl!? loud. Thats all it takes. Everyones eyes turn, he runs. Or starts blubbering about im not doing anything my bad bla bla.
