There's no expectation of privacy on public transport. I don't really find someone taking a picture and posting it problematic at all. I am aware, yes, that women would get butthurt if you did it to them. I disagree.
The tax you pay for being poor or living in a city where public transit is your only viable option is harassment from crazy people and living in a culture where strangers creepshot and gangstalk you over how you instinctively rest your legs.
The fact that being on public transport is a miserable experience is unfair and a topic that should be addressed. Having your picture taken? You don't have to be poor or on transport for that.
I don't find it problematic either, but I 100% fucking guarantee that there'd be uproar if these were pictures of women instead. Someone could even end up arrested over it.
There's an expectation of privacy when you're doing nothing interesting.
If you're doing something weird, interesting or embarrassing, expect to be photographed.
But if you're just sitting there, you shouldn't have to worry about that. It proves that they really are creeps as well as sadistic hypocrites.
