Some of us don't think it is healthy for people to be consuming that media either. Doesn't matter if you're personally going to be in the video its the consumption that bothers me. People hanging out on r/PublicFreakout getting very angry at other people probably does a lot more harm than good to society.
- jesuscript 4y agoIt's a form of voyeurism (exhibitionism and voyeurism are porn categories, they are fetishes). I do catch a few of those /r/PublicFreakouts, and they are often intense breakdowns of flawed people. Most of them are of the entitled/racist bunch. We know who the antagonists are immediately in those videos, but the principle of filming a breakdown always felt dirty to me. At least in the realm of sexuality, a fetish is acknowledged as a fetish (and fetishes are usually very private and should always require consent by all parties). I wonder how open people would be to the reality that they are indulging in a fetish by watching voyeuristic videos on /r/PublicFreakouts (sexual or not, and certainly without consent), or exhibitionism by constantly making videos of themselves.
- lamontcg 4y agoUsually it is a bunch of entitled/racist/etc people watching a public breakdown of an entitled/racist/etc person. Watch enough of them and you might get angry enough to wind up in one of them.
