London’s tube network, typically the scene of unspoken social codes and personal boundaries, recently played host to one influencer’s bid for engagement gone wrong. Instagram influencer leonanomii filmed herself and a new love interest indulging in highly flirtatious and inappropriate displays of affection while on the train. Judging from the comments on both her reel and several Reddit threads, the internet isn’t amused.
In the clip, the pair are seemingly intoxicated by their connection (and perhaps their own reflections), ignoring all social decorum as they pose, and flaunt their “chemistry” for the camera. A cramped, rush-hour train carriage is undeniably odd for such public affection. “She thinks she’s living in some movie,” said one commenter, while others likened the spectacle to a scene from a low-budget rom-com parody. Yet the real comedy, many agreed, was the exasperation of fellow commuters, visibly restraining their reactions as they became unwitting extras in this unfolding PDA saga.
The scene has captured attention over on Reddit’s ImTheMainCharacter subreddit, too. There, the attire of the young woman was another hot topic on. with her choice of an “adult onesie” drawing considerable ire and confusion. “Seriously, what is with the adult onesie?” wondered one user, highlighting that the outfit only seemed to amplify the already jarring display. From “Temu Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox” comparisons to quips about the man being “90% of the way” into her heart (or, as some hinted, elsewhere), the internet wasn’t holding back. “What’s happening? Am I dead? Is this my wake? Am I in Hell?” another comment joked.
One of the more scathing reactions humorously summarized the entire ordeal as something that will “end in a quick finger blast by the bins at the back of Iceland.” It seems most agree this was an attempt at baiting engagement on social media, a bid to carve out their moment as “the main characters” on a platform known for elevating just such characters.
Indeed, the trend of social media influencers vying for attention in public locations is becoming increasingly boring. As they’ll likely have discovered, their short-lived romance won’t outlast the lifespan of the video’s comment section.
