I thought it wasn't very good. And of course they had the "trans woman" go nuts there for a moment and also throw around the "racist" term even though nothing racist was involved. And if you notice, help evaporated when the "trans woman" went all aggressive and put hands on the dude and shoved him around.

I just thought it wasn't done well due to not using an actual trans woman and then for the guy to actually get over aggressive just at finger pointing and words.

I appreciate the attempt to show crowd reactions (or lack thereof), but tend to agree with marsh monster that is was not done very well.

It really infuriates me when people exploit our issues for a laugh or media attention. I hope GLAAD targets them.

Why do people like to do moronic pranks and then call it a social experiment?  Cause they want more views...

The what would you do ones that kira posted were good. They were positive overall and the first one used an actual trans woman.

True they were and you definitely have to give them credit for having used a trans woman in the first one.

This isn't a social experiment, just a couple of fools wanting attention.

Anyone who expected something good from a YouTube channel called TrollStation should report to me immediately for a complimentary wallet inspection.

From their channel:

Trollstation a Online Hidden Camera Prank Show Created By DigiDanTv : Our content is intentionally provocative & controversial with the aim to get reactions from the general public in the name of comedic Satire. Trollstation is a collective of social misfits playing mad mind games on the public. GET INVOLVED TrollstationTVuk@gmail.com

My nickel says they ought to be added to the BANNED blogs list. There's nothing supportive going on here.

I agree that Trollstation needs to be blocked or at least flagged as triggering, I couldn't even watch their whole video. The WWYD? clips are much more positive and beautiful in their message. I'm glad an actual trans individual was used in one of the clips, and I understand why the second did not have a trans individual, we struggle enough with transition without being seen on international television.

A++ for WWYD
F for Trollstation.

Yes, yes, yes, yessity yes, YES! I couldn't get past fifty-one seconds of the troll video. I'm sure most of us have been in that very situation too many times. I did watch the What Would You Do about the prom dress and thought it was sweet.
