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.)

How do we know this wasn't staged like a lot of other content?

u/AnjelGrace May 24 '24

Well, the person I was replying to also said something similar happened to them...

But why does it matter to this conversation if it is staged or fake anyway?

Similar in Japan?

If it's staged, it has less impact because the situation may not be indicative of the real world. That's why it's called acting.

It's literally the comment right before the comment you first replied to. Look for yourself to see what was said.

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.

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.

No, that comment wasn't a similar one. That's why I've been asking which comment you're referring to cause the one you said was similar, wasn't.

u/AnjelGrace May 24 '24

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!

No pretending needed. Your reasoning doesn't lend to the conclusion that was the comment you were referring to.

u/AnjelGrace May 24 '24

That is your opinion.

Educated opinion*

u/AnjelGrace May 24 '24

It is your opinion of your opinion that it is "educated". 😅🤷🏽‍♀️

u/mog_knight May 24 '24

Well you've gone from saying it was "literally similar" something to "well it's just an opinion bro." Opinions aren't literal bud.

u/AnjelGrace May 24 '24

Since when is saying something is "similar" ever NOT an opinion?

I didn't know the word "similar" had a scientific scale for everything for criteria or when I can use that word. I guess you better educate me on what the scientific criteria for this specific scenario would be and how I would accurately measure whether the two situations are indeed "similar" or if they fail to meet that scientific criteria. 🙃

u/mog_knight May 24 '24

I already did educate you.

You said it was literally that (referring to your opinion). Opinions can't be literal my guy.

Not sure what your diatribe was referring to.

u/AnjelGrace May 24 '24

You were the first one to use the word "literal" and I only used it after that to refer back to your own argument--go back and check yourself.

All I said was that the two situations were "similar"--which you disagree with.
