It's just....the internet I guess?
Go into the various "Ask" communities, and you'll see things like this constantly:
Women of Lemmy, what's something that...?
Americans of Lemmy, what is your favorite...?
Definitely mildly infuriating when people just butt in when they're explicitly not the target audience of the question. If I'm somehow doing that with this reply, lol, I apologetically appreciate the irony.
The issue is that people want a public forum to be private and controlled as such.
Like if you go to a public park and want to kick out anyone who isn't a part of your party you want ot have there... the issue is you. it's not the other users of the public park. but there are stupid and entitled people who would host a party in a public space and then get pissed off other people are using the space.
that isn't how it works. if you want a private party you need to have it on a private piece of land. which is totally fine. just like you can geo-IP block access to your website if you wanted.
In a public park, you can absolutely ask random people to leave your party area. Not the park, but the space you are using. Double so if you've gone through the official channels to reserve that section.
And that goes both ways: If someone is having an event and one inserts themselves where they're clearly not invited, then that person very much has issues respecting others' boundaries.
It all boils down to people respecting each other.
you'd also be an asshole. you don't own the park. you have no exclusive rights access it or use it.
and tying it up for personal use and going around kicking out other well meaning people is just you being a selfish dick.
if you want exclusive access... hold your party/event in a private space.
it's not that hard of a concept... but people want the privileges of exclusivity without the costs. and get butthurt over it for some stupid reason. if i wanted a party that was exclusive to my friends/invitees only I would never hold it in a public space.
i've inserted myself into plenty of events at parks. usually it's only the dipshit karen types that have an issue with it. most people don't care because they aren't anxious/controlling types and they understand that their event in a public park means they will have to be welcome to strangers. especially when your event spills over into a walkway or heavily trafficked space.
Ummm… what do you think the park picnic space rentals are?
Also, parks with camping have reserved spots.
Seems to me either you don’t get out much, or you are one of those assholes that refuses to leave a space someone already paid to rent.
That person is giving me "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!" vibes. lol.
They’re kind of being an asshole all over the thread. I don’t know why women asking men to not comment in a women’s forum has them so hot and bothered, but it sure has them on the warpath lol.
Probably 'cause they commented to the same thread.
Wow, who hurt this guy? They’re like, every bad terminally online never-talked-to-a-real-woman cliche.
