        They are, but they’re not typically filmed with the express intent to post online

        Theyre an issue as well but when you walk in a store there isn’t some jerk in your face acting like they aren’t recording so they can sell the video to the highest bidder

    I’m not a woman, so I’m confident I’ll never find myself in this position, but if I ever do, my reaction will be aggressive and someone’s getting a knuckle imprint on the bridge of their nose and losing there meta glasses. There should be zero tolerance for pieces of shit like this.

      This is how we know you’re not a woman. Someone willing to break social norms to film you is also more likely to break social norms around violence or retaliation.

        Women can only politely follow social norms?

        What kind of sexist nonsense is that. Suffragettes were firebombing, letterbombing, and bombing misogynist politicians in the early 1900s to get rights. Women are quite capable of fighting for themselves.

          awesome. but the lady walking to the grocery store isn’t likely to bring a molotov just in case.

          that and males in general are quite strong compared to most females.

          i am capable of fighting for myself to a certain degree, but risking my own death for confronting a psycho filming me is not exactly how I want to go out. nor is the law likely to be on my side if I were to try and punch him in the nose over it.

        You must know me better than I know me then. It’s wild that even though we’ve never met, you know my actions better than me.

        The truth is, I don’t have patience for predators, which is what these scum bags are. I would absolutely throw fists to protect myself, and this is one of the types of situations where it’s truly justified and arguably defensible.

          When was the last fight you got into? Because I can guarantee you’ve been filmed in public in the last year.

            I’ve never been targeted specifically with discrete recording equipment to exploit me online. That’s quite different from getting recorded in someone’s picture or video not focused on me. One of those is predatory and deserves just retaliation.

            In general, I don’t get into physical altercations because I don’t put myself in positions where it’s necessary. The last time was at a concert some years ago, and a few close encounters diffused since then. Usually it’s not worth it, especially with all guns out there, but there are times when it is.

            Like I prefaced though, there’s pretty much a zero percent chance I ever find myself in this scenario. If I saw someone recording, I’d avoid it. If I discovered someone I’m having a conversation with is recording me for exploitation, all bets are off.

    Why don’t they just call it the loserverse? We need a nice name like that for it, to shame these losers. Manosphere is wayyyyy too nice.
