I get the impression that this is a bit like pubs having a “no runners” dress code. Just an easily-broken rule to kick people out who are ruining the vibe for others.
Obvious loop hole is someone wears something outrageous, which leads to everyone staring/looking and then you can get them thrown out.
Some poor lad with a squint is getting fucked out for nothing
Sunglasses in the club it is 😎
It sounds rather ridiculous, but I suspect it’s just going to be used as a default excuse to toss people out that the club doesn’t want there for some reason but who aren’t actually violating any other rules.
I’m fucked. Don’t know how many times I just stare into space absentmindedly without realising and then suddenly discover I’ve been looking at the same person this whole time. When they just happen to occupy the general space I was looking.
Intrusive staring. Jesus. They start with a sane concept – don’t harrass people. Then churn out some stupid rules that make them look like morons.
We all know this will be applied only in one direction.
I was joking with a friend a while back that checking someone out as you’re walking down the street will be considered assault in a few years time. I guess this is the first step towards that
Well this is the dumbest shit I read all week.
“Can I stare at you?”
“No”
“Ok”
I stare off into space when I’m drunk thinking of the most random things. I’d definitely be kicked out.
Enough of this clown nonsense.
What if it’s the barman who won’t fuckin serve you?
Sounds really dumb honestly
Louise O Neill will campaign for this for Ireland
Hasn’t it always been the rule that if you are getting a bit weird the bouncers give you a physical warning – haven’t been in a night club since I was 17 or so.
Why is Australian news being posted in the ireland subreddit?
“It’s only creepy if he’s unattractive”.
Isn’t briefly gazing at a potential partner how humans have been hooking up since the very beginning? So in this kip mentioned some fat neck in a high viz is going to tap you on the shoulder and point at your eyes!? This is f**kin bizarre.
can’t even look at people anymore lmao. WTF is wrong with australia.
Oh god I don’t even have the energy for this shite.
Looking at people is unavoidable in a crowded nightclub. There are people everywhere. Where are people supposed to fucking look. The ceiling? Don’t be daft
Why is this on the r/ireland subreddit?
I remember walking through Temple Bar at like 6pm years ago and some scumbag looks right into the eyes of some poor cunt who was passing through and goes, “are you lookin’ at my burd?”
Fella stops walking in surprise and stammers back, “n-n-no, I wasn’t”
Scumbag then goes, “are youse sayin’ my burd’s ugly?”
Ah, the face of that poor fella. Never give those cunts a reason!
> As a social venue, the club’s owners said they encourage interaction between strangers, but all and any engagement “must begin with verbal consent”.
> If the attention you are giving someone is unwanted, that is considered harassment,” they said.
And so continues mens double bind. You can’t know if the person wishes to engage with you until you first engage with them but if you engage with them and they don’t want to engage with you that is harassment. What a pitifully low definition of harassment.
For an engagement to begin first you must ask for consent. Before you ask for consent you must ask for consent to ask for consent. Fractal on forever. With this rule in place there is no way anyone can be sure they aren’t “harassing” somebody simply by saying hello.
This might be weird to post here but I twice had girls grab me and start shifting me before I even realized what was happening while in night clubs. I mean it wasn’t traumatic or anything but it did feel weird to just be grabbed and used like that without giving any kind of consent. I think I actually got sexually assaulted, if the genders were swapped it definitely would be
