I'd feel comfortable as a single woman, most bikers are pretty nice guys, even the ones in colours. They're at the movies ffs, its something we'd both like to see. Plus I probably wouldn't notice 🤣
If I walked into anywhere and was suddenly glared it like I stood out and may not belong there, I too would slow down and consider a range of possibilities and options. I’m not sold on the message in this video.
The video is dumb af. If I walked into a theater full of just random average looking people and looked at me like that I would consider leaving. Anyone want to take a wild guess about the percentage of bikers with a criminal record vs just all of society as a percentage? WAY higher. Doesnt mean im goiing to judge them one on one or call the cops but it is entirely reasonable to walk out. The video is stupid as fuck.
Dang, these people were so QUICK to judge all these dudes ogling the women and death-staring the guys. You should really give people acting like psychos the benefit of the doubt. Makes you think! Which is to say, who thought this up? Social experiment devised by someone with three remaining brain cells.
Yes, every single one of them was uncomfortable. Not so much with the way they look, but the fact that every single person in the audience, turned to them, stared and tracked them. That’s what scared most of them.
I had a programming class like this. 3 women. A 4th walked in - really hot - saw a full class of men, checked her binder, probably realized she was in the wrong room or surrounded by sharks, and immediately left.

Would anybody else go there, sit down, watch the entire movie movie, and later, when somebody asks what it was like to sit in that crowd be, "there were what now?" or would that just be me?
I have been accused of being very unobservant sometimes.
I mean, if I walked into a theater, or room, where the moment I walked in everybody turned and stared at me stone-faced or mean mugging, I would feel really freaking uncomfortable. The room could be full of Amish folk but if everyone turned and stared at me flat-faced, and continue to stare at me wherever I moved in the room, fuck that
Been in numberous situations akin to that. Fault it on openish, friendships, cursed w/being approachable, others sense of novelty - or just taking people as they are...but sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
Dude, a bunch of Amish would whoop biker butt any day of the week, they don't have any modern entertainment venues and there was nothing to do in the 19th century but beat each other up 24/7 :P
Less about who they are, and more about the full cinema worth of people who all have the same aesthetic silently and Stoney faced staring at you. Could have been kids, grandmas or even an assortment of completely random people and the result would still be the same.
Same, I wouldn't be that worried for myself, but being there with my wife, I'd be worried about putting her in a situation where I wouldn't be able to protect her from harm. So yeah, I'd back out of there quickly.
The whole thing of this video was because people are too quick to judge, these bikers were staged and harmless. It's a shame... Any true biker I get to speak to (not in the US, in the UK) they're lovely.
But why have them stare the people down? Seems like they were playing into the stereotype instead of having them look at the screen or talk amongst themselves like regular folks would before a movie. No matter what someone looks like, if they’re staring me down I’ll be creeped out.
Stupid as fuck video though. If I walk into a room a bunch of bikers in a "club" and totally not at all a gang, and they were all mean mugging me and my wife, i would leave, and I wouldnt be wrong for doing so. it would be MORONIC to stay. That doesnt mean i KNOW they would harm me, but im not going to stick around and find out. This video is dumb af.
My first year of engineering school 1971. Only one girl, very pretty blonde. Physics class , about 200. She usually came in late, I guess because of her schedule. Wow. She changed majors.
I've sung karaoke in a bar that basically looked like that theater. Do a little Bon Jovi, you can get the whole place singing. Motorcycle club rallies are a fun time
They're acting threatening though. Its good instinct to avoid a room where 100 people who all look alike are acting like they don't want you there really bad
And I would have said "oh did you guys rent this out for your club?, I can catch another movie" Or asked one the toughest looking one if it was cool if I sat by him. If he says yes I then have his protection from everyone else...
Exactly. If they were all talking and laughing among themselves, rather than unfriendly stares all directed my way at once, I'd assume they were a group there to watch a movie. But they are acting intentionally closed off and unwelcoming in unison, which (at least as a woman) is not a situation I would willingly walk into. At the least, it does not give off vibes that its just a bunch of movie goers who just happen to be guys.
Yeah. If they wanted to get that point of tolerance across they should've ignored anyone coming in and be talking to each other casually or something. Instead they just made it seem like having a reasonable sense of self-preservation is a bad thing.

I avoid eye contact so instinctively that I would not notice. Plus everyone is an obstacle first then a person.

Fear is a healthy response to danger. Applauding someone for ignoring their instincts is messed up.

I'd ask the closest person if it was a private party. If not, I'd find a seat.

I would honestly assume there was some kind of specific event going on and leave because I wasn't a part of it.

It was an ad so everyone was an actor. Yay for the world!

Nothing about appearance and tolerance - it was about promoting a beer, nothing else

It's a stupid skit, appearance isn't the issue here, the issue is they are all ogling like rapists.
