I was walking with my friend and we passed near a fountain. It’s very hot here and in the fountain there was an obese kid (maybe 11-12) on a bike without a shirt. We shared a look because it’s not an usual sight but then she took her phone and started taking pics/recording him. I asked why she did that and she got really defensive, saying that she wasn’t going to send or post it anywhere. I again just neutrally asked why she needed to take picture of that and what’s the point of having stuff like that on your phone. She said that I’m blowing things out of proportions and trying to make her feel bad, but I was genuinely curious what the pics were for. She just said that it’s normal to talks pictures of unusual things and it’s nothing bad because she’s not posting them anywhere and in her opinion it’s not disrespectful. For me taking pictures of any stranger is kinda weird but especially kids. She also brought up her friend who sometimes posts pictures of homeless people sleeping in weird places which I also don’t think is okay (may be illegal even) but she’s making it seem as if I’m taking it too far because it’s just a harmless photo.
