Tourorist reveals her favorite ways to tourorize:
1. Tourist: Pardon me, ma'am, but can you please tell me where the Empire State Building is?
Tourorist: Didn't you hear? The terrorists got that one too. It was all over the news.
2. Tourist: Excuse me, which way is it to 34th St?
Tourorist: It's after 34th Avenue. Just keep going west.
3. Tourist: Ooh, look, a squirrel! C'mon kids, smile! (Tourorist mugs with tongue out, e.g., while passing.) ... Hey! Look at that young lady! New Yorkers are, like, sooo weird. That gal must be a tourorist...
Tourorist: Dude, I, like, totally like to tourorize!

Protest Tourism

The act of attending a protest or direct action for the purpose of documenting signs, checking in on social media platforms, or otherwise being present without the burden of caring about the subject of the protest or being invested in any particular outcome. Not to be confused with being an “ally”.

“Believe me, she’s just doing it for protest tourism. Rebecca does not, in fact, give a rat’s ass about BLM.”

Q: Did you hear the 'Bed Intruder Song,' the auto-tuned version of a man telling reporters about how his sister had been raped? Wasn't it hilarious?

A: No, it wasn't, it was a cruel and disturbing example of class tourism.
