CartNarc and How He Differs From People Who Film the Homeless (from @trykarat podcast)

[scumbagdadofficial]

Correction- Cartnarc doesn’t yell. He keeps his calm. It was a clumsy error.

[quippits]

I used to be homeless. It's crazy how many people don't even see you as a human being when you're homeless.

People always comment that it’s hard to differentiate between scumbagdad’s serious commentary & absurdist satirizations but I think the line blurring is a sign of an extremely talented communicator. I appreciate not just the fact he calls out creators who violate people’s personal space & privacy, but he also shows us what these “social experiments” look like when pushed to their extreme (often for comedic purposes though there is a clear truth present)

Entertainment is not innocent, exploitation is not essential though it is often present. As a filmmaker & content creator I do not film without consent or knowledge but I have been put on camera without consenting & refuse to push that onto others.

Much love to creators who care about the craft & take the time to inform others who may not understand what happens behind the curtains of the emerald city.

I don't know, I used to like cart narc until I saw a video one day when he went up to a homeless person who was using a shopping cart to hold his stuff inside. He basically told the homeless person that he was a thief for stealing the cart and told him that if he stopped being a lazybones, he could find a real job. He got backlash for the video and took it off youtube, but you can still find it online. I don't really like him since then 🤷‍♂️

This tripled my Lazybonesness and gave it to the next person

[TribunalGames]

Let's rephrase that. Nobody wants to be a target, and social media prank culture is a cancer on society.

Really glad you’re putting this information all out there for kids to think more critically about the underlying motivation behind it. And you get to ride the sweet high road comparatively speaking while tearing down systemic issues.

Cart narc is just usually ok but he has some pretty egregious cases of harassment on his channel. He'll take someone on their worst day and push them to the point of violence.

[treeofrage]

Ive only seen a few cart narc vids, but in those he did not let people drive away. He keept putting carts behing their cars, or just standing there himself. He does not let people leave.

[SineNmine]

Filming random strangers is still a scummy thing to do, even if they own cars.

[undeadOtter]

Harassing people is harassing people. Don't compare it to that. There's no difference. They just want to get a reaction. That's what's pathetic on all ends of it. Attention for yourself based on other people that you purposely pissed off is pathetic

[wavessurfs]

Cart Narcs is pretty funny, but I liked him a lot less after seeing a video or two where he puts down the homeless, such as calling them "permanent lazybones"

[Peachykream]

He literally puts carts behind their cars to stop them from driving away. All they ever want to do is drive away.

[sepphero]

Can we just agree on not focus filming people without their explicit concent? Please

[limabean]

Might be an unpopular opinion but i dont think leaving a cart out is a terrible offense. I usually put my cart away and if I dont i leave it in the grass where it wont roll into someones car or block the road. I watched a couple videos and he isnt just narcing. He goes up to strangers and blocks them or touches their property but he does it in an annoying voice so that the people who get angry look even worse. He could be fixing something so much more important but he's just going around harrassing people for being mildly inconvenient

[aloysious]

My kids and I love cart narcs!
Anytime we go to a store and they see someone leave their cart somewhere, they both go " Woop Woop skiddily Woop!"

[turbosoggy]

Cart narc doesn’t let them leave. He puts the cart behind their car or stands behind the car. Then, if they do manage to start driving away, he throws magnets at their car

[BruklinBridge]

Cart narcs literally oen people in. They can't leave without damaging their cars.

[TheThirdlittlepig]

The thing with cart narc that I don’t like is he would block peoples ability to leave I remember seeing a video where he kept putting a cart behind someone’s car forcing them to get out of the car. As a woman if I man did that to me… I’m not leaving the car. It was like 2-4 years ago I saw that video but I won’t support an asshole like that. If he would have just let them drive away then it wouldn’t be so bad.

I have lots of compassion for people who are trying to get their lives back on track. None for those who prey on others.
