Hitting on people is equivalent to racial segregation and centuries of hatred…? Besides that whole can of worms, how did your parents meet? My dad hit on my mom at a summer camp. I met my wife by hitting on her at a store. Hitting on people is the most traditional way people hook up. Weird to me that people are trying to demonize public flirting.

People like you want to demonize the desire to be left alone by strangers, and sadly you’re in the majority, so stop whining.
Humans are social creatures by nature. Some of us prefer to be left alone, but others welcome the company and advances of strangers. I don’t think it makes sense to demonize people for wanting to be left alone, but respect goes both ways. People are going to flirt. People are going to like it, other people aren’t. Everyone is valid. Reject and move on. Be rejected and move on.
I couldn’t* care less what it reads like to you, in your world nobody talks to anyone and everything is black and white. I’m good, I won’t ever want to live in your world.
Edit: the video
In yours, people is entitled to bother anyone at any time, and I’m pretty sure that nobody takes “no” for an answer, so I’m pretty sure your interlocutor wouldn’t want to live there, either. Neither do I.
“Simply turn them down and move on”
Yep, I can see how you’d think someone who says these words would also think that it’s ok to harass someone. Your logic is incredible, please continue.
