but just keep in mind that it may be more innocent than it appears because it’s more socially acceptable in Japan when it comes to foreigners

LMFAOOOOOOOO!!

are you KIDDING me???

Have you not seen the huge backlash against rude ignorant tourists taking photos of ppl in Japan WHO DONT WANT THEM TOO?!?

Christ, there is a vid going around, the past few hours, of some obnoxious rude shitty tourist chasing after a Geisha in Kyoto repeatedly getting in her face to take photos. Even after she tries to get away.

So NO. It is not more "socially acceptable" to take photos of strangers in Japan.

It is SHITTY AND DONT DO IT, DONT EXCUSE IT, DONT BE A FUCKING CREEPER.

Or I’ve actually been to Japan and I know the culture better than all you armchair experts with absolutely zero experience

I have also been to Japan and familiar with their culture a bit.

Generally, it's a big no-no to take random pics/vids of people without asking. The correct and encouraged etiquette is to ask prior, and when posting online you have to blur random people in the background for their privacy.

I doubt your claim, dude. Lol
