A recent Reddit post on r/Coachella suggested a satirical, “groping allowed” section for the festival, quickly igniting outrage and confusion within the community. The thread, titled “Fam wtf is this 😭😭,” was removed by moderators due to widespread negative response.
Community Reacts: Disbelief and Criticism Flood In
- Many users called for strict measures, some demanding arrests for anyone participating in such “zones.”
- Concerns arose over the suggestion implying a male-only area, raising serious safety and consent issues.
- While a few recalled the long-gone festival “cuddle puddle” culture, the majority condemned the idea as tone-deaf and inappropriate.
The post’s removal by r/Coachella moderators underscored the community’s collective rejection of any notion that trivializes consent or personal boundaries.
No Official Connection—Just Internet Buzz
It’s critical to clarify that this proposal was entirely user-generated with no affiliation to the official Coachella festival. Organizers have made no announcements or plans for any such “groping zones.”
The viral post highlights how quickly outlandish ideas can spread and spark heated debate in music festival forums, but festivalgoers can expect the usual emphasis on safety and respect at Coachella ’25.
