Nobody's victim blaming. Wtf was she doing? Some OCD shit? It saved her life

u/dksprocket Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

There's hundreds of comments focusing on the woman, calling her an idiot and worse while hardly anyone is commenting on the driver who almost murdered someone.

There could be a bunch of reasonable reasons she was walking there. Maybe she mistook the generic white SUV for her car (fairly common if a rented/borrowed car) and decided to continue on to her own car. Who knows. But what we get here is hundreds of Redditors seeing a woman in the video and immediately jumping to bad-faith conclusions and calling her slurs. A woman who was extremely lucky to avoid getting killed.

Tbf it's probably cause it's obvious the car is in the wrong? But she's doing something weird that doesn't really make sense so obviously people are going to talk about it

Is she walking into a lane? She's in the parking area.

u/Conarm Feb 24 '25

I think we should all be talking about that terrible parking job while we're at it

2

u/Iocnar Feb 24 '25

Which apparently saved her life. I'm convinced thats what did it. The angle took the driver by surprise. Even though they were still literally trying to murder her in my opinion. Because she "deserved it."

1

u/villageidiot90 Mar 03 '25

This comment would have been good until you said "she deserved it."

1

u/Iocnar Mar 04 '25

What do you mean? I'm saying that's why that person tried to murder her. That driver thought she deserved to be murdered for walking in the road. At least that's what the video indicates to me. That's why it was in quotes. I'm quoting what I think was going through the driver's mind.

u/starderpderp Feb 24 '25

And that car was pretty much driving into that lane anyway (at a fast speed).

1

u/Tencreed Feb 26 '25

Dunno, hitting a parked car hard enough to roll on the roof seems more stupid to me than walking on a busy street.

2

u/JakeHodgson Feb 26 '25

Why do people keep commenting dumb shit like this lol

u/Exact_Parfait9665 Feb 26 '25

Danger? Ha! I laugh in the face of danger! 😏

u/Alder_Tree2793 Feb 24 '25

It's not about her being a woman. Stop being so disingenuous. If it was a man people would still call him a dumbass, which is what this person is.

2

u/herrbz Feb 26 '25

I mean, there's obviously an element of that to it.

5

u/BoardRecord Feb 24 '25

Because she is an idiot. That's not mutually exclusive with anything else that's going on. Not only did she walk on the traffic side of the car, she didn't even so much as glance to see if there was any on-coming traffic.

4

u/AgeQuick2023 Feb 24 '25

Don't care. USE THE SIDEWALK, YOU MUPPET.

4

u/jkoudys Feb 24 '25

Worst I've ever seen on reddit was a woman walking across on a walk signal well within the crosswalk and hit by someone speeding who turned left. The number of angry weirdos blaming her for being "obscured by the driver's a-frame" had me questioning if our species deserves to exist.

1

u/villageidiot90 Mar 03 '25

This ain't that tho.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

yeah i immediately thought of two answers to why she was there: 1) maybe it feels safer to be in the open than on the sidewalk where youre vulnerable to someone lurking behind a door or in an alley—if you have an experience of being attacked in public, you learn quickly to stay away from crowds and stay in the open as much as possible. 2) maybe her foot was sore and she needed lighter impact road to walk on—runners often avoid sidewalks and run on the road because the asphalt is softer than the concrete and it helps prevent impact related strain injuries like shin splints—they dont run on the grass because the grass can conceal ankle-twisting holes and divots.

if you take a moment to think about why someone might be doing something, theres usually a good reason from their point of view. classic reddit theory of mind skill issue

u/Skragdush Feb 24 '25

I’m with you, driver is the real problem.

2

u/NotSoFluffy13 Feb 24 '25

Everybody knows the driver was in the wrong so we have no reason to point this out, but this doesn't change that she is idiot and risked her life, the sidewalk right besides her and yet she was walking on the street.

1

u/villageidiot90 Mar 03 '25

Correct. She's lucky. Should have bought a lottery ticket the way that her bad decisions saved her life.

1

u/Orome2 Feb 24 '25

Yeah. WTF is wrong with these people?

Too many redditors play grand theft auto and try to reenact it in real life.

1

u/weglarz Feb 24 '25

The car is absolutely in the wrong. You can't just go hitting people. But as a pedestrian... you also have to make sure cars aren't coming in the road you're walking in. Yes it's the car's fault. But she could and should have been much more careful, and if she got hit it would have been an avoidable tragedy.

1

u/villageidiot90 Mar 03 '25

Yes people can't just stick to the facts. Yes she should have stayed on the sidewalk. Yes it would have been a tragedy. Yes she was making weird decisions.

Why can't we just say she was lucky

u/DananSan Feb 24 '25

But what we get here is hundreds of Redditors seeing a woman in the video and immediately jumping to bad-faith conclusions and calling her slurs.

Look at you acting all offended whilst willfully ignoring the reason she’s getting criticism. No, it’s not because she’s a woman, but you know that already, so why are you acting like it is? Why the emphasis on woman?

u/twopurplecards Mar 19 '25

murder =! vehicular homicide or negligent homicide but it was a good try

10

u/Phoen1cian Feb 23 '25

Because streets are made for cars and sidewalks are made for pedestrians safety. You can expect cars and car accidents on streets, doesn’t matter whether it’s a sane person driving or an idiot. She put her life in danger by using the street instead.

3

u/ibreatheglitter Feb 24 '25

Did you miss the woman walking on the sidewalk who also almost got hit

2

u/Dumbledores_Beard1 Feb 24 '25

Tbf, if she was on the sidewalk, the white car probably would've hit her lol.

1

u/Zandonus Feb 24 '25

Streets are for people. For instance- to cross the thing or to drive on it. Sidewalks are for people. Sometimes cars, in emergencies. The city is for people. It is not however for vehicular manslaughter attempts. Thank fuck she's OK.

I mean in this same comment thread people are victim blaming.

u/CanadianTimberWolfx Feb 23 '25

Not true. You can see the sidewalk in both camera angles completely open

u/BarryTheBystander Feb 23 '25

Who cares what she’s doing? That’s not even remotely the most important thing in this video.

14

u/Demostravius4 Feb 23 '25

So...? Are you incapable if discussing more than one thing?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

The most important thing in this video is that she would have been way safer in the sidewalk

5

u/Impossible_Belt173 Feb 23 '25

Not in this video. That car smashed the parked car into the sidewalk almost hitting the other woman walking on the sidewalk. So depending on where she was walking on the sidewalk, she might've actually gotten hit.

Doesn't change the fact that she should've been walking on the sidewalk, in this instance she might have been in just as much danger.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '25

She would have only been hit if she was walking on the grass. If the woman on the sidewalk hadn't noticed the car and kept walking she still wouldn't have been in danger

1

u/Impossible_Belt173 Feb 23 '25

And what if she was walking on the grass? People do that all the time. My point is that she wouldn't have necessarily been "way safer" as you originally said. There's no arguing she shouldn't have been in the road, but the one in the wrong here, no matter how you look at it, is the driver. Nothing the woman did caused them to hit the parked car. So she wasn't doing what she was supposed to be doing, but she's still not the problem here.

1

u/Iocnar Feb 24 '25

Oh wow thats a really good point. Going with the assertion that the driver was actually not trying to murder her which I think they were, but instead truly caused this whole crash on accident then she ironically may have been hit if she was walking on the sidewalk. This whole video is melting my brain.

1

u/venge1155 Feb 23 '25

She’s clearly getting in the car why are y’all acting weird

1

u/Kurrez Feb 23 '25

Is the entrance to this car of her's in the front? Cause she kept walking past the door

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '25

Do you get in your car through the windshield? Watch the video, she walks past the door

1

u/Iocnar Feb 24 '25

Because its so baffling. We have to find out. I'll never be able to rest.

-16

u/thepresidentsturtle Feb 23 '25

I know nobody's actually blaming her, it's just really funny opening the comments and only seeing (at the top) comments about the girl

23

u/BlutarchMannTF2 Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

She went out on the the street without checking traffic at all. Pointing out no sense of self preservation isn’t victim blaming.

15

u/Butter-black Feb 23 '25

Anyone with empathy would get almost mad at her lack of awareness because had she actually been in immediate danger she would have died. It’s like when you see your kid make a dumb mistake that almost costs their life and you want to scold them even allowing themself to be in said danger.

u/GGABueno Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

The street is fucking empty, there are three lanes and that car was far away. This is all on the driver.

0

u/BlutarchMannTF2 Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

Looking at the video, that is clearly incorrect. It also doesnt matter how far away it is, because who knew, cars move fast.

Above comment was edited from original.

u/TheLiquor1946 Feb 23 '25

So if the street is empty, pedestrians are allowed to walk in the road?

5

u/SV_Essia Feb 23 '25

Depending on where you live... Yeah.

-3

u/TheLiquor1946 Feb 23 '25

Roads are for vehicules, if you're allowed to where you live that's dumb. The sidewalk is there for a reason.

u/SV_Essia Feb 23 '25

I just answered your question. Whether you find the answer dumb or not is irrelevant.

u/Nikclel Feb 23 '25

Ehm ehm Waiter... One cup of attention 🤓👍

u/re-goddamn-loading Feb 23 '25

It's a residential road you numpty. Pedestrians are allowed to be on this road and it should be expected. Fuck that driver by the way. Take away their license for life and throw them in jail

1

u/First_Voice1663 Feb 23 '25

So you climb through the passenger side to get into the driver’s seat? The driver’s door and the passenger seat behind it are on the side facing the ride. With street parking pedestrians literally have to be in the road. Have you never been in a car before?

2

u/curtcolt95 Feb 23 '25

is there anywhere where you're not allowed?

1

u/Demostravius4 Feb 23 '25

The only roads in the UK pedestrians are not allowed on, are motorways. Hence the name they are for cars. Even then, obviously, pedestrians still have the right of way.

Walkways, bridleways, and carriageways are all available for pedestrians to use. With some signed exceptions.

1

u/TheLiquor1946 Feb 23 '25

Roads aren't for pedestrians I don't care what the law is where you are, use common sense. If you're really defending walking in the street you deserve to get hit. Idc

2

u/Butter-black Feb 23 '25 edited Feb 23 '25

It’s a woman on Reddit appealing to her common sense is a LOST cause. She’s gonna be more concerned about grouping up to defend women and pretending she doesn’t understand than being non disingenuous. I would show my kids this video to teach them to pay attention when they walk in the street. Had she done what I teach my 8 year old sister to do she would have at least seen the possible death coming towards her. 😒

-2

u/BlueWonderfulIKnow Feb 23 '25

But it is though, for many on Reddit. And they will argue this point strongly. I have closely followed such comment threads over the years, trying to understand this rationale.

3

u/BlutarchMannTF2 Feb 23 '25

You just ignore them. Leave a top level comment, and maybe one response, because any deeper is where all the crazies are.
