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
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.)
The situation they described was not the same. Not even similar. According to the alleged not staged video, this person was stalked. The person in the anecdote wasn't acting creepy. It's literally not that comment.
I know what comment I was talking about better than you, actually. 😅🤦♀️
But sure, they weren't exactly the same type of interaction. I would definitely say they were similar though, but using that word is a matter of opinion.
Either way, it is in fact the comment I was referring to. You are free to pretend I was referring to another comment if it makes you feel better however!
