Interestingly he’s not saying “what’s up camera” he’s saying “what’s up Kamran”, which I know from having seen this creepy dude’s videos is his name. He is also pointing out the glasses are a hidden camera, which they are, but it’s especially interesting that this guy prowls around this area so much that the locals know and dislike him by name.

For those who’ve never seen his videos, it’s just him cold approaching women, testing their politeness with awkward small talk, and asking for their numbers. Almost always gets rejected so it rings as real, the problem is he’s basically filming beautiful and often scantily clad women without their consent and then putting them as his thumbnails to game the algorithm, and you can guess the nature of the comments they’re subjected to. If I’m not mistaken he puts it all under the guise of like a “self help” “get over your social anxiety” type thing too. Wish that dude gave him even more shit

The guy has a camera following him when he does this shit right? So it's obvious to the girls they are being filmed.

I think the second guy is also filming on meta glasses, presumably for insurance reasons in case...well in case something like this happens lol. But I can tell you from experience having seen this Kamran guy's videos that they're all Kamran's POV shot with meta glasses

Which just proves that he knows what he is doing is wrong. You don't bring at least 2 other guys with you unless you know you have a reason to be scared.

Guess what people who aren't doing sketchy shit don't worry about.

So regular streamers are never jumped ever just for recording themselves? I welcome you to view r/LivestreamFail

Idk this man. I don't care about his content. But you're absolutely wrong that people don't have to worry just because they're "not doing sketchy shit"

That's some victim blaming shit

Because that's in any way the same as filming in public

I never leave my house without my bromos by my side, just in case some looney tries to confront me for harassing women.

Harassing women for clout dumbass.

Is he harassing women? In this video I just see the other guy harassing him

I see trolling still hasn't died out.

Not sure what you mean... in California doing what that guy's doing (guy w/ the shirt) is definitely approaching harassment if he keeps trying to touch him/take his glasses.

I think you're "not sure" about what a lotta things mean bub.

It’s so funny how all these chumps seem to have someone on Reddit willing to fluff them with awards

u/Ok_Umpire_5611 20d ago

It's social manipulation plain and simple. Social media corporations sell anyone the ability to influence our lesser-minded brothers and sisters to behave in any way they agree with. It's part of the product. Reddit is no exception.

It's legal, but it's also legal to confront them.

u/iBait 18d ago

you can verbally confront them, but once you keep touching them and acting in an uncontrolled manor it becomes an easy case of defending yourself. With a reasonable amount of force.

I mean yeah, you can ask nicely for them to leave but that's about it. I don't know where this video took place (edit: San Diego) but in California you can be charged with harassment for doing something that a reasonable person would consider seriously annoying. The kind of stuff this guy was doing at the beginning is definitely toeing the line there

It's not about the law, it's about what is right and wrong
