    Part of the reason there are so many people with Main Character Syndrome these days is because in a way they are famous, at least in their own niche corner of the Internet, think about it Alana, the only way you could be known by over forty thousand people 20+ years ago would be if you were an actual celebrity, but thanks to social media, a lot of nobodies can be kinda famous in their own corner of the Internet, but they will almost certain not destined to become a household name.

    I sincerely believe all gyms should institute a no tolerance policy for filming at the gym. If you're found filming sneakily or having filmed after the rule started, you should have your membership revoked. Either forever or for 6-12 months. It has become extremely corrosive. If you HAVE to film, set up a room for gym equipment at home. If you're an onlyfans farming tool, you have the simp money to do that.

    3:00 Alana, you're missing context on this one. The problem is that this lady isn't there to use the facilities, she's using the gym as a photo shoot opportunity. Gyms are not generally considered a public space, as they're a membership-access space, people pay a surprisingly ridiculous amount of money to use the hardware in the space, and a degree of privacy is expected.

Also tired of having to wait forever to use a machine because some girl has like a photo studio setup and spends 20 minutes trying for the perfect ass shot before even working out....if they even workout. Filming at the gym is a very recent phenomenon.... people didn't sign up for it. Hell some people are super self-conscious about their weight and it took an immense effort to even goto the gym at all. Last thing they need is being on camera. Not to mention all the vids of people filming and laughing at/making fun of newbies or fat people who are there to improve themselves etc. It's just all bad, cameras in gyms should be universally banned lol

      I feel this wasn't the first time he had to deal with someone filming in the gym. Some may say that he overreacted, but everyone has a breaking point when it comes to dealing with entitled people and they know that if you are too civil with some assholes they will think you are weak and do worse so you start to default to a more aggressive stance the more you have to deal with others crap. Then you end up on the internet after some thot recorded you and you are labeled as an overreacting asshole.
      The guy being criticized for how he was working his biceps is one of the reasons why people don't want to be filmed by those maniacs and end up as content for brain-rotted 13-year-olds.
      And yes, recording inside a gym should be banned by any decent gym that cares a bit about its customers or by law for violating others' privacy.

    The gym guy probably reacted that way because of the gym girls going around taking videos of "creeps" (Men just trying to get a workout in who look in the girl's direction for half a second), and trying to get them in trouble. The reaction is a little lacking in etiquette, but women really need to stop recording in the gyms. I'm sure they all have security cameras, and the spaces are usually pretty wide open.

    • @Frawst_
      @Frawst_ 4 місяці тому +1

      That makes no sense and honestly makes us men come off as hypocrites
      Isnt the reasoning we give to these women who accuse people wrongly that real issues do exist and you should only blame people who rightfully deserve it? But apparently that doesnt work the other way around??
      We don't support women who blame all men for being creeps why are we supporting men who blame all women who film?

    • @GamePlayuh9510
      @GamePlayuh9510 4 місяці тому

      ​@@Frawst_ First off, there's two entirely different levels of severity attached to those things. Being caught gym recording will get you called out by Joey Swole and laughed at for a few hours. Getting falsely accused of unwanted sexual conduct by a woman permanently scars or even destroys your reputation. In that regard alone, these things are not the same.
      Second off, women aren't stupid. They know what they're doing when they record in the gym, and it may not _always_ be for attention, but that is the case often enough that the assumption is more than fair. Imo, the only time you should be allowed to do a personal recording in the gym is A: with the consent of the gym owner and B: as instructional material on proper exercising techniques, stances, etc. The gym is a place of self improvement, and you have no business filming yourself in there for internet clout, and to harass strangers.
      Third off, women claiming all men are creeps is a ridiculous claim for a couple reasons. First, is that men can't help being men. None of us chose to be born with a schlong. Trying to claim we're all predators by nature is horrendously insulting, and if the assumption is based on biology, not something we're apparently even capable of changing. And second, men are the ones responsible for making a world comfortable enough for women to be able to make such brash claims. I always find it amusing when a group is _granted_ privilege by another, then claims the entire granting group to be oppressive.
      Ultimately, the reason we don't support women who claim all men are creeps, is because it's an outlandish and unbelievable claim. Were that true, at all, women would be constantly, sexually oppressed by men, as they're the physically weaker sex. It also operates on the _very_ sexist assumption that all men are animalistic monsters, incapable of virtue or improvement. Conversely, the reason why we would blame women for recording, is that it is a provably learned, unnatural behavior. Something they _chose_ to do, that they should know is obnoxious to many people by now. Maybe I can make this even simpler. Just going by the two examples you use (women calling men creeps, men being upset at women recording) the difference is that women criticize men's _existence,_ while the men criticize the _actions_ of women. One of these can be changed, the other cannot.

    I'm grateful that the average age at the gym I go to is like 35, most people are grown ups or elderly with a very polite and tidy gym etiquette/culture.
    It's the result of gym membership not being the cheapest in the area, it draws in a different clientèle.
    I've seen camera tripods twice in the 2 years I've been there, and the ones who brought it quickly ended their membership when me and other gymbros would consistently stand in front of the camera, flexing and fortnite dancing between our sets when they try to record themselves.
    People, including me still record ourselves sometimes, but it's just form checking. And we don't need a tripod, just ask someone to hold the phone while you do the set.

    This spawned the whole meme of guys laying on the ground and putting their hand behind their backs or pulling their shirt over their heads the moment they see a girl "working out" in front of a camera. Or men straight up refusing to help women in the gym if there's a camera rolling. THAT is the reality we live in.

      "Exceptions", he said. Gyms in the UK, PureGym for example (over 340 gyms in total) now have rules that forbid people from taking photos or filming. Virgin Active asks to delete footage and many others are following suit.
      Because it turns out that most of the regulars, the one that pay for everything, are men. Men that are sick and tired of ending up on TikTok getting falsely accused.

I didn't go out to eat. Restaurant food is not a necessity. If I got hungry while I was out, I'd either wait till I got home, or grabbed something off the discount cart at Walmart. Tipping makes servers good money. Tipping allows a person to give the server the amount they think they deserve. You are allowed to walk out of the restaurant without tipping your server, and the worst outcome is that the staff thinks you're a dick. If we removed tipping, the prices of meals would likely increase by 50% to make the difference. If not double. The restaurant is not sitting on extra money, I've done work for restaurants while at school. The price of your meal leaves razor thin margins for the owners. This is a system that works for everyone.
