I haven't looked into it yet but that Aura service is actually a great idea. Sad that the law doesn't protect privacy by default but this is our timeline. Good sponsor choice—if it's good. My 2 cents: prank channels can be fine if they're done ethically but as long as maximising views is the name of the (under-regulated) game, ethics will lose too often. I think the downsides—the assualts, anti-social behaviour, cultural degradation, influence on kids—outweigh the upsides—cheap entertainment, the "freedom" to to be a public nuisance. Ergo: fvck prank channels. Leave pranking to the professionals! I.e. 🤡's.
I think what people miss with the woman reacting to the "blind man" prank, is that weird dudes approaching women, even in public situations is a completely different animal to weird dudes approaching dudes. A lot of women have been harmed or ended up dead because of a ruse used to lull them into a false sense of security or preying on the understanding that most people are inherently decent and when they see someone with a disability or something struggling with something they want to help. However this is a weird dude who she can see is demonstrably not blind because he doesn't act with the mannerisms a blind person does. He doesn't even have the right cane. I say that as someone who is legally blind and carries a crook cane but I don't need a sensory cane because I still have some degree of vision. The danger to women being approached and the mentality of women being approached will garner a different reaction.
I remember a few years ago the prank channel where the fuckwits would dress up in "arabic" garb and do absurd shit like throw backpacks into random cars or take dummies and wait for people to come along then throw them into the open and run out and beat the dummy with a bat. People had the same "it's a prank, bro" reaction to that channel in the comments but I know those dudes would have ended up dead if they'd tried that with the wrong people. What people seem to both realise and fail to realise is that they have the benefit of seeing the set up. The mark or target absolutely doesn't.
For me the thing with pranks is that its funny if u prank a friend because they know u and therefore know how a situation should be construed. I personally find the idea of moaning in a strangers ear, trying to take somebody else's shopping cart, take somebody's luggage at the airport as I saw online the other day or anything thats just needlessly antagonistic or targets strangers is bot only dangerous but just kinda shitty behavior
I've seen some of these "pranks" that basically involved wearing a ski mask or clown mask and chasing someone whilst wielding a weapon (to get the horror film reaction type response I assume) and that seems like a sure way of getting shot some day. Also things along the lines of re-creating the sign-board scene from Die Hard 3…
I've seen others, which I can believe aren't meant badly, where they'll go up to someone and damage some of their property to then give them an upgrade; like cutting someone's earbuds off and then giving them airpods. May be meant as a fun thing but still dangerous AND no way of knowing the item didn't have other value to them (special gifts etc); to be fair most of the ones they show the people are stoked to get new cool thing (though I have heard of some of the channels then demanding the stuff back).
Even the pro shows like "Candid Camera" or "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" sometimes go a bit far and cause distress, but usually they're within reasonable bounds for pranks.
Got robbed a long time ago. Ended up in the police station with the guys that did it. They were like, we were just kidding. They didn't get the joke (me and my friend). Better safe than sorry. I like when those pranksters get their asses kicked, but then there are actual idiots who go and look for a fight in order to get social media content where they get beaten up. The world we live in.
Your rant at the end is a perfect way of explaining why so many laws rely on the "reasonable man" standard.
The most fair way to decide if someone is in the wrong is to put yourself in their perspective and their knowledge and decide for yourself if you would have behaved the same way, as every juror is seen as a "reasonable man"
I hate this prank bullsh*t of these entitled brats, but the Lady in the first clip is disgusting… she's the reslult of the "I have to check every box of the opression- and victimpoint List" of the snowflake liberals.

Greg Benson used to have a good level to his pranks with strangers. Cell phone crashing was awesome.

Some people takt it really bad and pranks should not be done to unknown people.

If you prank someone you don’t know – not okay.
Frankly I think prank videos are made for people who are at least a bit dumb, mostly kids.

Hmm, you come into my space ~ ~ ~ gives me permission to come into yours
I am just suprised that people do such aggressive prank in the country people carry gun. You might get shot for stupid video
🇦🇺🤙🇦🇺
I 've been called Karen for calling the prankster a creep on your original short reaction. Still think ''it s just a prank bro'' is not an excuse.
if you have a butt of the joke it's fine, if ya have a victim, it's wrong
Honestly in three of these prank videos I saw assault being committed to their target. I’d press charges. Then sue for the video’s revenue.
These people are being assaulted for profit and ya, that should carry some penalties imho.
