A viral confrontation between a young social media creator and an older passerby has sparked a heated debate about filming in public. She appears to be keeping to her own space on the relatively empty street when an older woman walks past and suddenly calls out, “Give it a break, girls,” in a dry tone. One commenter pointed out the street was “pretty empty,” and the women weren’t blocking anyone’s path, saying the older passer-by just “felt compelled to criticise them” for no reason.

Others called it “bizarre” how the older woman went from a snarky remark to a near-physical confrontation, describing her behaviour as “antagonistic and aggressive.”The conversation reflects a deeper generational gap over social media etiquette in public places.
