Dublin/New York portal temporarily closes because of 'inappropiate behavior'

[MadDogTannen]

Dublin-New York livestream portal temporarily shuts after 'inappropriate behaviour'

People on the Irish side of the portal have been seen flashing body parts and showing images of 9/11 to their New York counterparts - with numerous videos going viral on social media.

Not sure what they were expecting when they put it in that part of Dublin tbh lol

But basically on the Irish side you had people doing coke, showing images of 9/11, mooning and the American side had OF models flashing

I'm surprised it stayed open so long

I said it before and I'll say it again, you can't have nice things in Ireland without the scangers coming along and ruining it.

I'm surprised the incidents were so tame. I expected a LOT worse.

 

[gofreak]

I sort of expected worse tbh, especially at night time.

I saw conflicting reports about whether it's actually still off, or was ever off beyond the period yesterday.

Apparently they're going to add some software to block out any images held up to the camera or something.

Genuinely, what the fuck were they thinking when they put it in one of the most heavily drug used areas of Dublin.

What was the TTP, a few days?

A stupid decision no doubt, but unless they put it somewhere that was closed off after hours, the result would have probably been the same.

They should of gate checked this instead leaving it out in the public

NYC tourist babies kept getting spirited away through the portal and replaced with changelings.

Getting some real

vibes from the Irish side here. Not a great thing to joke about 9/11 like that but I'm not surprised.

To be fair, I don't know if the NYers really did anything messed up, but it says it was closed because of the Irish side of the portal, so...

I opened this thread thinking it was a vague reference to a piece of sci-fi media, but this is an actual thing.

People can't be trusted with anything.

The portal was surely created by people who've never been on the internet.

 

[lunarworks]

I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

 

[RedNalgene]

I assumed my fellow New Yorkers ruined it. Came in surprised to see it was the Irish!

Where would you put it in Dublin though? Temple Bar? lol

Well you joke but put it somewhere the guards are actually around.

You'd have to have lived your life under a rock if you are shocked at this

I'm still very confused by this thing. It's just a screen. And every photo I've seen of it the screen looks kinda low tech and crappy.

Rules out most of the city then :). Seriously there are plenty of other not stupid places to have put it. Fusiliers arch at the entrance to Stephens green, in the pedestrian area at the top of caple street, anywhere in the grounds of imma, the pedestrian island outside Trinity on dame street, Smithfield square, anywhere in the Phoenix park, the top of howth head. Anywhere except in the middle of the country's largest open air drug bazaar.

It's basically a huge public webcam chat.

It's an art piece not a legitimate communication device

Yoko Taro's next game will be about 9/11 and the Irish potato famine confirmed.

Yoko Taro explains how a Coca Cola ad inspired Nier: Automata

"I wanted them to realize that the person they're directing hatred towards is also, just like themselves, a gamer."

Yes, it's oddly low quality for what it is trying to do. Also it's not closed. I literally saw it on 3 hours ago and people were being goofy waving to each other.

 

[Volimar]

I read the title and full on expected it was New Yorkers that ruined it. Expectations subverted.

The problem is at 5pm when everyone in New York is commuting home, it is 10pm in Dublin so people having been drinking for twelve hours.

Cocaine is legal in Ireland?

 

[Hud Hastings]

Some real "that's what you get for putting it among the poors!" stuff in here. I'd argue it's much more "that's what you get for putting it in a time zone 5 hours ahead of the other side" than that. Obviously you'll get people acting the maggot when they're bladdered after getting turfed out of the pub, and it seems a lot worse when the people watching are on their way out for dinner or whatever it is people do at 7pm.

They absolutely should set it to stop auto-focusing on close-up objects, though. Would stop the phone-screen based stuff, which seems against the spirit of the endeavour.

No?

 

[Complicated]

This should be the primary use case. Just taunting people by doing things illegal in their jurisdiction but legal in yours.

 

[Wrexis]

It's reopened, with limited times, and ambassadors keeping an eye on it.

Doesn't that pretty much ruin the original intent of this art piece?

 

[julian]

It never really closed! I don't know why people keep repeating that it closed. Maybe for some hours or a day or two but I pass it nearly every day and it has been open most days despite the stories saying otherwise.
