This video is staged and ancient.

Doesn't look fake

u/ExpeditingPermits 6d ago

Staged isn’t the same as fake. It’s an ancient video and the dude aggregating the silver guy is planted.

Why else are they filming. This is ancient

156

u/Sliptallica92 6d ago

Why else are they filming... a street performance? It's a street performance, not exactly uncommon for bystanders to record those. People record buskers all the time.

u/ExpeditingPermits 6d ago

I don’t mind the downvotes. But seriously. This video is 10+ years old and confirmed to be staged. This isn’t new. Consider the. Timing of the video starting and when this dude engages. It’s made to generate clicks. I’m more surprised that you’re defending it than anything. Like, why

89

u/javiwhite1 6d ago

I think your definition of staged doesn't match everyone else's and that's where the downvotes are coming from.

If I've understood correctly, you're claiming it's staged because the guy aggravating the performer was in on it, with his mate filming.

The problem here is (and If I understand your comments correctly, you agree with this) it seems as though the street performer is not 'in on the joke'; and thus his reaction is genuine rather than staged.

If that is the case, then it's a matter of perspective. I can definitely see where you're coming from; this is clearly the outcome the guy wanted to happen, as it will drive his online engagement up, but I'd say that's less staged, more planned harassment. No different to the YouTuber who got shot for following some dude around a mall; he planned to harass people, but him getting shot definitely wasn't a staged event. Just the repercussions of his planned harassment.

Consider the timing of the video starting

Are you joking?? This is your reasoning? You know they could take a longer video and just cut this clip from it, right?

For tourists it's not common. Of course people are filming that.

u/ExpeditingPermits 6d ago

The video is literally 10+years old

u/bluh67 6d ago

So tourists don't exist anymore? What are you even trying to say?

44

u/Yomammasson 6d ago

You keep bringing the age of the video up like that proves it's staged. You might be confused. Just because you see a video multiple times doesn't mean it's staged. It doesn't become less real the more you see it.

-3

u/ExpeditingPermits 5d ago

No, it was confirmed in several previous posts that it was staged in order to promote the actor and his stream. He scares ppl too.

The age of the stream is to let ppl know that this new and is an old gimmick. I’m just tired of Reddit (maybe bots) eating this up like it’s legit

20

u/Yomammasson 5d ago

Could you provide one of these posts that "confirms" this?

u/Efficient-Safe3644 5d ago

No, it seems the answer is no.

"Aggregating"?, there's only one silver man

u/CreamyFunk 4d ago

Clearly Some drunk nobhead upset a Street performer. Hes Clearly been rude, then he wet Willie's him !!! . He gets a punched. Just because its old doesn't mean it's fake and if its set up then the set up was to wind the statue up until he broke character.

u/CreamyFunk 6d ago

I think staged and fake are the same thing but I get what your saying

u/WhyHulud 6d ago

The quality is good and it seems most people at least haven't seen it in a while. What's the issue?

u/ExpeditingPermits 5d ago

I’ve been in Reddit so long that I’m stupefied by the people that think this is genuine. It’s been posted numerous times and confirmed as a staged moment to promote the actor

u/StrawDeath 4d ago

Have you considered that maybe people who didn’t see it previously might need you to provide proof of your claims?

u/Willing-Stuff6802 3d ago

You need to go outside if it's been 10 years since you got punched by the Silver Dude because it wasn't funny then and you're not making any sense now. Tell us you were dude that got punched without saying it

Imagine doing that and then walking literally arms reach in front of that dude with zero guard up. Idiot thought he was invincible.

Who would have thunk a statue can punch people?

u/No_Organization2032 5d ago

He got an attack of opportunity

u/Helivon 6d ago

Yeah wet willy is definitely assault. Completely defending himself at this point. Dude was probably glad he went that far so he could fucking sock him

Cant believe he waited until he tried even more bullshit after the wet willy. I thought for sure that would be the immeduate moment.

54

u/Pointlessqueery 6d ago edited 6d ago

Guy looks totally wasted looks like, street performers are pretty used to drunk/high a-holes being rude, rare that they are that persistant though. Guy had too many beers/nose-beers, and just had to f-around and find out. Seems like common sense that a guy who stands motionless in the street for hours, covered in paint, and heavy clothing, for extra cash is built out of tougher stuff.

u/ziko2811 6d ago

putting bodily fluid on someone without consent is considered an assault, think of all the STDs they can transmit.

Ps: I am not a legal lawyer so take it with a grain of salt but I would assume that such a thing would exist.

180

u/SoulFanatic 6d ago

iirc this would actually be considered battery, which is the physical manifestation of assault. Assault is the threatening of physical violence.

But yes, bodily fluids are a very real risk, especially blood and saliva.

(Also not a lawyer)

33

u/Demartus 6d ago

If you're charged with battery, you'll be charged with assault as well. Assault's the attempt, battery is actual doing harm (though in Texas I believe Battery is a subset of Assault.)

7

u/Accurate_Condition65 6d ago

Battery is touch

2

u/Drapidrode 2d ago

swinging and missing is assault

6

u/JWOLFBEARD 6d ago

Battery and assault can be conflated. It depends on the state

u/Pokkejong 6d ago

Technically a wet willy is penetration.

11

u/MisterB78 6d ago

That’s… not how STDs work

8

u/c0ltZ 5d ago

It's how a lot of illnesses/diseases work, though. Smearing your spit on someone is a good way to give them whatever you have.

u/prometheuswanab 4d ago

Oh, it absolutely is how some STDs work. See herpetic whitlow

u/eSsEnCe_Of_EcLiPsE 5d ago

Think of all the “SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED diseases” they can transmit without having sex?

10

u/ziko2811 5d ago

For your sake I hope you don’t believe that all STDs are only transmitted from sex, since some can be transmitted through saliva too, the key to transmission of STDs is body fluids not sex, tho some are less likely to be transmitted through saliva than others.

yeah slow down partner. Not everyting should be considered assault. Bad? yes. As bad as assault? no.
