Comment on Dude almost lost his life

  I’m sure it has nothing to do with the guy who started and continued talking about sex being a baby faced white guy and the other dude being a fit black guy.

  It’s not.

  I think it’s incredibly telling that very few people are considering it sexual harassment at all for a stranger to come up to someone on the street, shove a camera and microphone in their face, and start questioning them about their sexuality and sex life.

  Asking a question about someone’s sexuality isn’t sexual harassment. That’s a really weird thing to think.

    Since you apparently stopped watching as soon as he asked “are you gay,” the question he asked after that was “are you a top or a bottom?”

    If for some reason you think that’s a more appropriate question to ask a stranger with a camera in their face than “do you use condoms?” or “have you ever tried BDSM?” then that is also a self report.

      I started writing an annoyed reply then realised that maybe you just have a radically different level of comfort than I do.
      I’ll ask some of my friends who are not in the BDSM community for their opinion and I promise to have an honest re-evaluation of my thoughts on this, while taking your perspective to heart.
      Please consider that the video does appear to be in a setting where people would be more likely to answer these questions happily. However I am basing that on a few assumptions, so maybe I am mistaken.

      I would ask you to consider how your comments come across to others. I’m sure you are simply trying to establish reasonable boundaries for people of your comfort level, and I absolutely respect that, but your comments in response to me were very aggressive from the beginning.
      And yes, I do see how my exact complaint with your comments may be related to your point about the video. I will take some time to give that consideration as well.

    if i’m asking a friend in a quiet place it’s not. If i go up to a Stranger with a Camera, it is.

  Your Comment was absolutely great until you had to make it about skin color.
