"I didn't ask to be on TV. In fact, nobody asked us to be on TV," she pointed out.

Leaving aside the whole sexism nonsense, she ain't wrong about this. Focusing the camera on some individuals, for whatever reason, who are in a stadium for 20 seconds is pretty stupid.

I'm sure there's a more nuanced way to say this but I ain't that smart, but if you go to an event that will be televised there should be an expectation of being filmed. I can understand that not everyone wants to be filmed, but what's the solution? Should we blur crowds unless the fans agree to be on television?

You can pan the crowd without zooming in and lingering to single someone out.

It has room for nuance. Everybody likes seeing home run balls being caught or given to kids.

It's been almost 30 years, but I'm still mad about this one:

That's why I stressed the 20 seconds. It may not be great that there is an 'expectation of being filmed', but it usually not individualized (the camera shows a crowd) and when it is, it shows people for just a second or so.

Even though this is probably not illegal, I don't think this is cool. But then again, as a European, I'm more of a stickler for privacy and all that than is common in America.

Focusing on funny or interesting looking people for a long time is pretty common at American baseball games at least. Any time I've gone I found myself hoping they don't put me on the big screen. But some people like it.

I disagree that CCTV everywhere Europe expects more privacy than an average American.

They don't care about privacy as long as the government is the one doing the spying.

It's worse in some places (e.g. the UK) than others, but good point.

Still, the CCTV isn't being broadcast everywhere. It's just for our safety, just like illegal spying and all the other pleasant things the rulers do.

What the fuck are you talking about? That happens all the time. What do you think shit like Kiss Cams were?

What the fuck are you talking about? Europe openly has mass public surveillance and mass public compliance. Maybe you as an individual is more of a stickler for privacy, but not as a European.

Something no one in Europe has ever heard of, mercifully.

Multiple things can be true at the same time. People here love to be slaves but also not to have their personal information or image broadcast to the whole world.

What's this got to do with Imp? What community?

Are you alright?

I noticed you posted on a place called "Impstradamus" and wouldn't you know, it was another faggy little argument chain with Imp like what used to frequent this forum.

That's not "his forum". That's something I created to post his predictions, because they're good. Unfortunately, he was banned for a long time soon after I created it, so there's not much there.

A few days ago, he suddenly posted to one of them to declare victory, and I responded to that. I fail to see what is so weird there.

I'm asking if you could keep your faggoting contained to that board so we don't have to see retarded shit like you crying about a camera focusing on somebody in the audience of a baseball game

So... you asked to not be exposed to opinions that you don't like. You may be in the wrong place then.

Nah she's wrong about this. Having the camera on you for 20 seconds is not a big deal. If you get upset about it that's on you.
