France Student Protests Main Character Moment (Credits: X)
\n\nThere is a protest happening, thousands of people have gathered on the streets, and everyone is supposedly fighting for the same cause. Yet, somewhere in the middle of all that collective anger, everyone is also apparently busy creating their own main character moment. Someone is posing against water cannons, someone is calmly sipping coffee while the city burns behind them, and someone else is casually jogging past a part of town that looks like it belongs in a dystopian film.
\n\nWelcome to the age of main character syndrome, where even a revolution can come with a side quest for personal fame.
\n\nOver the past few days, protest footage from France, India and other parts of the world has served up some truly cinematic moments. There was the woman jogging calmly through the streets of Paris as unrest unfolded around her, followed by a Russian woman seemingly enjoying her coffee while protests continued in the background. Then came the man wearing swimming goggles and striking a Marvel-style pose against water cannons, as if he were auditioning for the next superhero franchise.
\n\nIndia, too, has had its share of such moments. Remember Rhiya Ahir…
