'Inappropriate and rude': Content creators get flak for pranking dancers at *Scape
Content creators known as Excuse Me Singapore are facing backlash after filming a prank involving the harassment of dancers at the *Scape youth park. The group interrupted a dance practice with disruptive challenges, causing visible frustration and anger among the performers.
Why it matters
This incident highlights the growing ethical debate surrounding 'prank culture' and the potential for social media content to cross the line into harassment.
This was a prank which apparently didn't work.
Content creator Excuse Me Singapore has come under fire after their recent prank at *Scape appears to have offended the dancing community, according to their video on Tuesday (Sept 8).
In their post, Excuse Me Singapore shares that the loser of a match of rock-paper-scissors must listen to the winner's orders — "No backing out. No excuses. No dignity".
The loser, a female host, is told by her male counterpart to approach a group of dancers at *Scape.
His first challenge to her is to go up to the group once their music starts playing, and shout at them to stop the music.
"I cannot, they are f****** serious right now," the female host says, but she does it anyway.
