Hello, Sorry if this is off-topic, but I just wanted to air my general concerns about respecting people's privacy in videoblogging, especially towards women. I'm not naming names.
I just heard this comment from a woman who was videoblogged without knowing she was being filmed: "You videobloggers SCARE me." This is not the message that I want to be putting out there with videoblogging. Also, another instance happened recently where a male videoblogger was taping a scantily clad woman at a party and was tracking her every move and making lascivious comments. The woman felt nervous and raised the red flag to her friends to stay nearby because she felt unsafe. UNSAFE? Anyway, the word gets around and now the word "videoblogger" gets attached with descriptions such as SCARY and CREEPY, just in time for Halloween. Even though I believe in freedom of speech, etc. I think that we should still be mindful of people's feelings - after all, we are all human beings and not mere objects of entertainment for mass consumption. ------------------------ Yahoo!
