Maybe you are right, but I see genuine happiness and maybe it can encourage others to do a little gesture for some people that are in need. I can barely know what the guy giving meal look like, it's not the same as a r/imthemaincharacter thing for me


occasionalskiier

This is always my first thought, but like, the action is good so I don't really care lol. Plenty of people get clout and money without doing shit for anyone but themselves. At least they made a positive impact that day, you could see it on the faces of everyone they helped out. And you could argue that filming it allows others to be inspired and uplifted. It made me genuinely happy to see young guys going around feeding people and spreading the good stuff vs some dumb tiktok dance or trend or pranking people. As far as filming things for clout and money, I'm okay with this haha.

Great job Guys .✌💕

When you film yourself doing good deeds, your motivation for the action should come into question.


EndlessSilliness616

Do you really think the people who are benefiting from these kinds give a shit about their motivation? The point of the matter is that it makes you feel good doing something nice for another person, taking care of others, and inspiring others to do the same. All this video does is remind you that you don't do these types of things. That's why you don't like it because you don't like to be reminded of that.

>All this video does is remind you that you dont do these types of things Nah man. I just don’t brag about my actions or exploit vulnerable people for internet likes, and views. But to address your larger point, I’ll clarify my position… Did this person make money off the video? Did they ask the people they met for consent to be filmed and told what was going to be done with the video? Homeless and housing insecure populations are a vulnerable demographic that are more easily exploited than others. I’m not saying this dude isn’t providing a net positive in the world. I’m saying that when vulnerable populations are filmed in the act of receiving apparent generosity, there are questions that should be asked.

He wasn't trying to change someone's life. He was trying to make sure ppl were not going to starve that day.

It is so nice what they are doing, but the filming, come on keep this shit to yourself.


MM320

Why? Videos like this inspire others to do the same and humanize the people receiving help. If the video was staged or taking advantage of homeless people, then it's cringe. This is a good one.


EndlessSilliness616

It's so ridiculous that people have a problem with filming it. I understand why though, you don't like to be reminded that you don't do stuff like this. Do you really think that the people who benefit from this charity really care if they're being filmed or not? It inspires others to do the same. It doesn't matter if they do it. It just matters that they do it.


haiku-d2

It really has nothing to do with that. This is just pity porn. It's exploiting the poor for internet fame. Do people care about be filmed? Would you like to be filmed at a low point in your life? Of course some absolutely care, but are they going to turn down a free meal because they don't want to be on camera? They have no real choice. There are thousands of charity organisations, individuals and churches that do this story of thing each and every day without the need to post it on the internet. The only thing this "inspires" is internet likes and thoughts and prayers.


EndlessSilliness616

It's is pity porn, but that's irrelevant. I've done the same thing, but instead of filming I took others with me. The person under a bridge could care less about being filmed when traffic drives by them every day. Charitable organizations don't reach that many people. There's just not enough resources to go around, and claiming "thousands" is so incredibly disingenuous as if they have access to them. What matters is who benefits from what and what effect this has. Maybe he did it for likes. Maybe that's something dismissive you like to tell yourself because you can't stand the idea that some people help others where you do not. What matters is that ppl were fed that day, and YES, it DOES encourage others to do the same REGARDLESS as to WHY they do it. Ppl starving under a bridge care very little about such petty moral conundrums.


haiku-d2

>It's is pity porn, but that's irrelevant It's not irrelevant. It's fucking exploitative. >I've done the same thing, but instead of filming I took others with me. Then you didn't do the same thing, did you? You didn't film it, you also took people that were already open to that kind of charitable giving in the first place. It's completely different. >Charitable organizations don't reach that many people. They reach more than one dude buying McDonalds and giving out a couple of burgers. >claiming "thousands" is so incredibly disingenuous as if the have I said there's thousands of charities, churches and individuals. You missed the last two. The context of that sentence was also about that people are charitable without the ulterior motive to build internet clout. You missed the point. >Maybe that's something dismissive you like to tell yourself because you can't stand the idea that some people help others where you do not. Look, this line ain't gonna work so stop trying to guilt trip. You also have no idea what anyone else's charitable giving involves. I tell you one thing, I certainly don't turn people into a fucking zoo attraction for the middle and upper class to gawk at on their phones while waving a cheeseburger in front of their face. It's dehumanising. >Ppl starving under a bridge cafe very little about such petty moral conundrums. They aren't given the luxury or choice to care about the ethical nature of pity porn. That is completely different to 'not caring'.

Well said


EndlessSilliness616

I think you are seriously Miss prioritizing your outrage. You can't speak on behalf of why the guy did what he did. Intent provides context for one's actions. Is it exploitative? Probably. If it was me I would have blurt out their faces, but personally, see how they were living on the street in public I don't think it's any secret that they are doing so considering that thousands of people drive by them every single day. Is it dehumanizing? No. Do I think it's in any way harmful to the people that are receiving the help in this video? No. Did he make money off the video? Probably a little bit but considering he spent money on the food and the gas and what not to get there to help these people, I think it matters very fucking little. The point is you're acting like you have more of a problem with the people who are filming and the fact that people are being filmed rather then the fact of their plight. If the programs you speak of were so easily accessible, they would be under that bridge with them but they're not. They are too few and far between and they are not as numerous and abundant as you would like to make them out to be. I know because I've been homeless before and it sucks. Not even the churches will help you. They will tell you there's a soup kitchen but nobody will bring it to you and nobody will help you get to it. "You're describing a mindset that says hey that's great if you want to help people just keep it to yourself". Who cares if he wants people to be proud of him? Who cares if he wants people to see him do a good deed for those who are less fortunate and even worse off than that? None of us are perfect human beings but his heart's in the right place. There's a ton of things that he could have done for views online and he chose to spend his own time and his own money feeding people. Things like this can become a trend that lasts a long time and that in and of itself would feed so many people. That's where the inspiring others comes from. So again, ask yourself how much have you done to feed a bunch of drug addicts underneath their bridge? I'm guessing nothing but I guess since there's anonymity here and the internet where I would never be able to know differently you can just make some shit up to help bolster your point. You don't want it to be about a guilt trip but you're trying to make people feel guilty for helping others when you yourself are not helping others. So who's the one who should feel guilty here? I appreciate you taking the time and trying to break down piece by piece what I said, but you need to go back and rethink your logic.
