Why would you film some random person eating in a restaurant? That’s something a sick person would do.

This is clearly a skit. They obviously know each other, and no one actually eats like that. It’s meant to be a meme and to generate comments and discussion, that’s pretty obvious.

Way too many people watch these reels and automatically assume everything they see is real. This is literally how people make money off social media nowadays: “Let’s go to a restaurant, you eat like a complete freak or Goku from DBZ, people will react to it, we’ll get views and make money.” “Alright, let’s do it.”

And then you’ve got people in the comments taking the whole thing completely seriously and going full white knight with the “You shan’t film your neighbor without their consent!” 😭 Like come on, you’re falling for the exact engagement bait they made the video for. It’s genuinely cringe and boomer-like.

Where did this confident statement come from?

It's normal to eat like that in Chinese / Japanese culture if you're hungry.

I grew up eating like this. My uncles too, when we had meals at my grandparents'. We're ethnically Chinese.

Thousands of years of Chinese people ate like this.

Korean culture is omitted only because they don't lift their bowls and use a spoon in their left hand. I'm sure they have their voracious eaters too.

Here is a random example found on youtube of a random teenage boy wolfing down his food.

I've never been to China and I eat like this, I am not sure what part is supposed to be weird. Holding the bowl? Is that weird?

I don't believe most videos filmed in this fashion which are meant to look like they randomly spotted someone doing something weird or out of the ordinary. 9/10 times staged for Internet reactions. In most cases you probably wouldn't have the audacity to film someone this upclose just having a meal.
