I had to read the title of this Fox News article and read the article in its entirety because I thought it was either a joke, or I was reading it wrong. But nope, it's for real.
So, an Australian nightclub, Club 77 in Sydney is implementing a policy that bans individuals from staring at each other without prior consent of the person being stared at. It's considered "harassment" without their consent. Law enforcement may be called if patrons engage in that behavior.
The nightclub warns, "As a nightclub, we encourage you to interact with strangers, however any engagement MUST begin with verbal consent. This also applies if you are, for example, staring at someone from afar. If the attention you are giving someone is unwanted, that is considered harassment."
"This is a joke, right?" one user responded. Another user wrote, "Guess everyone will just have to walk around looking at either the floor or ceiling or have some ‘staring’ NAZI throw you out."
Here's the entire article for any who wants to read this nonsense.
