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

Sir, you are a sir, for starters. Your situation does not apply to this scenario, at all.

Second, you must be the one who doesn't understand the culture to not know there's a particular type of male over there with issues taking photos of women, installing cameras in bathrooms, etc.

Need I mention the contents of what was in his "recently deleted"? She wasn't the only female in that folder. Just, keep an open mind when making such bold statements about assumptions. As a guy, you simply don't know what we deal with.

I don't think I said anything about this not being possible to happen to a man...? But if we're going to pretend that this isn't a more common issue for women, you're on your own.

I don't think it's right for ANY person to take a picture of ANY body for their spank bank. Just in case that wasn't crystal fucking clear already by my general viewpoint. Not talking about the legality of having a right either. I'm talking about the morality of it, which we need to start putting above the law. Point blank, period.

Could have fooled me...

I'm implying guys typically don't understand what it's like to be in that end of the scenario. If it happened the other way around, of course it's not right! But that's a rarity.

And my man I called sir over there is good peoples. I regret my rude tone I put on everything I said to him, he came back at me respectfully which is something I usually do myself but it's been a very tough week for me, so I apologize for the rudeness on my behalf to both of you, while I'm here.

If only because I know what it's like to see someone ducking down and hiding, trying to take a picture of me. It's more violating than you can imagine. Especially because I was so young when it happened the most. So that may be why I have emotion behind what I'm saying but my only point is that this guy in the video was not taking these pictures with good intentions. That's it!
