Tourists are bad by standing out too much.
Acting out of place. Everyone identifies this problem and always complains about it.
Like the boomer white woman standing in front of the geisha
But I would like to propose an equally bad thing:
Looking out of place. If you travel somewhere and you're dressed like a slob or a walmart person, or you're wearing atypical clothes, or you're lugging around a heavy backpack and sweating from it, you are disrespecting and bringing down the place you are going to. You need to looksmatch or exceed the place you are travelling to, out of respect.
Look at the photos of the boomers. Disgusting. Desecrating the place.
Can any philosopher explain to me why I feel so disgusted and a sense of despair looking at these photos? Is it their gleeful almost smug ignorance and lack of self awareness? You can tell they really do not understand and are not experiencing the culture. It's like theyre just on a curated tour. (These photos are from a tourguide website so figures)
Which tourists are worse? Blacks, white boomer couples, chinese aunties, young chinese couples, roudy whites (Tiktokkers/drunks), hippy backpackers, boomer sexpats, obnoxious americans, indians, tourgroups in general.
