A social media influencer was compared to prostitutes after a peculiar video from Bangalore divided the internet over the safety of women in fast-paced cities.

The video is of a social experiment done by a woman who was roaming the streets of Koramangala, Bangalore, where she was recording the reactions of men in her vicinity, and they are rather unsettling.

In the video, the woman gets bombarded by stares and comments from the men around her. One, even assuming her to be a prostitute, started calling out rates. One disgusting creep runs shouting around 200-200. At one point in the video, the woman is gestured at by a passing biker.

The video aims to shed light on the teeming nightlife of big cities. However, the message did not propagate nicely, as the commenters started berating her.

They started pointing out her outfit, which was a short red dress, with some saying that she is indeed dressed like the women who roam around and, therefore, men got confused.

The disturbing comments get viler as one scrolls down. A woman started to berate her, saying things like, "I would give her a disgusting look myself and ask my male friends to teach her a lesson."

People hold the opinion that she was out there "asking for it," and thus she got such a response.

There were also some who tried to support the woman. "It is a sorry state of affairs for Bangalore," said one user, while another pointed out that even though she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and deliberately put herself in the situation, it doesn't change the fact that the problem is real.
