Personally I thought it was just pretty funny and cute of ben affleck 😂😂😂 people have been feeling so negative these days they constantly look for someone to pick on, why can't we just laugh about things like this and move on?

I agree with you. It's a dating app and she thought he was fake. It is logical to send a say-Hello video to prove it.

Because this is the part where ordinary men say "well, celebrities did this, so I should be able to do it too!" and end up harrassing women who turn them down. People take it too far

It’s crossing a boundary. She rejected him, and he found her on another app so he could push her about it. If he was some ordinary dude, people would find it creepy - he shouldn’t get a pass for being famous.

He was showing proof and he's making a joke out of it too. I mean, he knows he's a celebrity and he knows the video will probably get passed around. I'm not american but I'm trying to understand, do people hate him just because he's not that funny?lol
