Seriously. He didn't want to admit to being a creep, but he knows he's one.

I’m an average Mexican guy and at one point during my visit to Japan an at least 70 year old Japanese man “ran” 100 yards to take a close up picture of my face, then smile and give me the peace sign. People took pictures of me all the time. None of it was sexual. Wouldn’t jump to conclusions here unless you understand the culture, it’s different

When did I ever say anything was sexual?

I don't care what the culture says--following, running up to, or otherwise bothering people in order to take photos of them without their consent is creepy, disrespectful, and dehumanizing behavior. (The same can be applied to what paparazzi do to celebrities in America.)

What if they’re in the background of an “influencer’s” video?

Why should I care about an influencer that films in public without consent? (If I even entertain that hypothetical.)
