Nobody is holding their camera on some salaryman about to enter a soapland, commentating how they're about to fuck. Well, at least not any people with a brain. All the people "walking by" give just as many fucks about a guy with a camera as they do about a guy standing around with his phone in his hand chatting on LINE. It's 2022 and for better or worse, cameras, smartphones, streams and all the other shit is part of society now so I highly doubt that the average Japanese person is offended when they appear on some guy's video for half a second, masked up at that. On the contrary, more often than not people actually want to engage with someone because of the camera and find it interesting.
Yeah, I agree - if someone points a camera at a random person and just films them for multiple minutes, that's stupid as fuck and disrespectful. Anything else is an overreaction and out of touch with the times. It's not 1990 anymore and this applies to a bunch of things I've seen people say on here.
Twice in the past two years, I've seen different Chinese guys wandering around Dogenzaka filming shops, love hotels, girls and their customers, narrating the whole damn thing. I think a dude who does that should face consequences for it, that's my primary issue.
As to all the rest of the dudes wandering around streaming, thinking their lives are endlessly fascinating and everyone else is an NPC: I can accept that they are assholes, and I can ignore them. But just imagine a world where you didn't have to do that?
Well, once again - there are bad ones and good ones. There are the ones you are talking about (and there certainly are a lot of those) but the few good ones are really good. The one I talked about is in general a great guy, humble, respectful and knows he's lucky to be able to do what he does instead of wasting away in a cubicle in Tokyo somewhere. He's one of the people who inspired me to just go on this one year trip I am on right now. That 3000 kilometer cycle across Japan he did was probably the best thing I've ever watched on a stream, so many great places and people he met in rural Japan and so forth.As to all the rest of the dudes wandering around streaming, thinking their lives are endlessly fascinating and everyone else is an NPC: I can accept that they are assholes, and I can ignore them.

Hah no idea which culture this would be normal but I guess in europe at least I'd also find it a bit rude tbhWent to a dinner at friend’s house. Someone’s boyfriend, in the middle of dinner, video called someone that none of us knew, and we watched that guy’s toddler do toddler things on a phone whilst I tried to eat dinner.
Clearly I am old because I’d rather not be on the phone with some dude’s kid; I’d rather be having dinner with my friends?
Same person (friend’s boyfriend) video called his sister when we were on a long train ride. Speaker phone loud English in the middle of a train…man sorry but a) talk to the people you are WITH and b) if you’re going to video call someone make it someone relevant to the group you’re with? And finally c) middle of a train or dinner ? Just fucking don’t.
But everyone younger than me thought it was totally fine and normal behavior so clearly it’s just me.
Sadly he is actually a really good dude. He’s just young and it is a different culture than what I am used to.
Kids.
These.
Days.

But anyway, I think we said enough on this topic
The “no camera” dialogue is not Boomer-esque at all.
Japan only have themselves to blame.
Soccer? What's that?
Football.
We know it's played with handsOur distant cousins in the other side of the pond think football is played with your hands.
It's somewhat like ice hockey only the skill level is a LOT lower imhoWe know it's played with hands
Calling it “ice hockey?”It's somewhat like ice hockey only the skill level is a LOT lower imho
