Question of double standard: What if the roles were reversed?
The biggest discussion in this case is about ‘double standard’. Many users say that if a boy had done the same thing, the matter would have immediately become serious and action would have been swift. This question is no longer limited to just this incident, but is also fueling the debate on equality in society.
Ignoring consent or competing to go viral?
According to experts, the real issue of this entire controversy is ‘consent’. It is wrong to touch anyone without their permission, whether jokingly or to create content. Nowadays, the trend of making reels has increased rapidly, but many times people ignore the personal space of others in the pursuit of views and likes.
Content in public places: where to draw the line?
Thousands of people visit public places like railway stations and trains every day. In such a situation, shooting or interacting with someone without permission can sometimes create an uncomfortable situation. This is the reason why questions are now being raised on this type of content.
