Something i think is missing in this whole fuckass smoking at concerts conversation is the middle ground which is just that sometimes people are existing in their own ways and it's inconvenient to others and thats ok. Like i voted yes it's rude to smoke at an indoor concert because on an objective level yes it is rude. But like, shit just because youre living your life doing something rude in a shared space doesnt mean i hate you it just means youre a little bit rude and ill deal with it in my own ways. Like why cant we accept the fact that the range of human interaction is incredibly varied and sometimes people do things that are inconsiderate but theyre not evil for it and sometimes people dont like the inconsiderate actions of others and theyre not evil for it either. Youre not an irredeemable asshole and im not a prude for using a public space in different ways it's just something we're experiencing and navigating together and thats a-okay

#idk man like im not trying to negate the existence of manners and morals in public spaces #im just saying like for example if someones really smelly on the train then like that's kinda rude to their fellow passengers yeah but #sometimes that just happens and it's a situation that we can get over #sometimes people are loud and annoying and causing a scene in public #that's pretty rude and i might be mad at them but in the end they've got their own thing going on to sort out #they might be acting extremely rude to the strangers in that public space but maybe it's their birthday and theyre drunk and feeling great #and thats their own journey theyre on or maybe theyre experiencing psychosis and just need some time to let it calm down #again that's their own thing it's inconveniencing me maybe pissing me off but it's not the end of the world for me to be a little pissed off #idk that's just how i feel about when people smoke at a concert #which by the way usually im like cool hell yeah this is a cool crowd let's go #but im also a rule follower and considerate at heart so the back of my mind will always be saying wow thats an asshole move #which yeah it is because asthmatic people deserve to enjoy a show too #but at the end of the day i also know the real world exists and people do people things and these situations are a case by case basis #we can navigate human interaction together yall i believe in us
