a bunch of yokels in myrtle beach physically attacked a trans woman doing performance art. pretty gross. this happened a couple of years ago but the video was just made public i think.

http://www.vice.com/read/myrtle-beach-is-a-frightening-hateful-place-in-american-reflexxx-456

quote:

American Reflexxx is a powerful short film directed by Los Angeles–based artist Alli Coates that stars performance artist Signe Pierce as a mirror of society. Well, at least a certain part of society. In the video, Pierce saunters through a touristy boardwalk in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, never speaking, only posing suggestively and pressing forward. Immediately, the members of the growing crowd proposition her sexually ("Will you do me in that later?") and hurl accusations about her gender ("It's a SHIM!"). They are enraged by her silence. "God will laugh at your calamity," a preacher wails.

This film is proof that sometimes reality is the strangest fantasy of all. Without revealing how it ends, I can say that it escalates to a shocking climax where the artist is actually attacked by a member of the crowd. It's amazing to see what fully grown adults will do on vacation. The first time I saw this film was two years ago at Art Basel in Miami Beach, and wrote of it then, "the video was terrifying, surreal—and true." This week, the video was released on americanreflexxx.com and already has provoked hundreds of comments, most of them expressions of despair about the picture of society presented by Pierce and Coates. "I see humans but no humanity," says one commenter.

Someone affix "FYAD" and "GBS" labels to the appropriate parts of the crowd for some biting commentary on the state of the forums.

This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
In this powerful documentary a camera owner hires a histrionic person to annoy drunken halfwits. Witness the shocking conclusion, which is only shocking if you haven't spent time in the south. Buy the directors cut if you want to see footage of the shirtless guy in the first picture attempting to convince the star to give him a handy when he thinks they've stopped filming.

No the jarring motions every couple of seconds were artistic and good and not at all distracting and aggravating.

Still pretty hosed up, and South Carolina is a garbage state. But I already knew that before watching the video.

Shameful goy! Won't even let a transperson rub its own fake tits in front of kids without thinking something is wrong with this. You will pay not only for this but also your actions during the shoah.

Fat southern women are constantly in a state of intense aggression. They attack at the least provocation. It is quite dangerous but all attempts at instating a leash law have failed.

I'm trying to understand the reasoning behing editing the footage to spaz out occasionally.

Also I've lived in NC for a long time and never felt even a little bit curious about visiting Myrtle Beach. Good thing apparently, looks like a dump.

poo poo like this only happens in the south, if that transwoman had been sashaying down the boardwalk in Wildwood New Jersey she would have found only quiet nods of respect and teary-eyed applause from onlookers.

without the editing it's just a mob stoning a girl in a mask then scattering like startled pigeons so they felt the need to 'vice it up'
