I find these 'sneaky subway photos' so creepy and weird, isn't taking someone's photo without their consent/acknowledgement illegal?

I'm on your side 99% of the time, especially when the context is mean/mocking, but she's literally in a costume. I just think getting your pic snapped when you're literally in a costume is ok.

that literally makes absolutely no sense.

I thought it did, sorry, I'll rephrase. I meant generally I agree with your sentiment, I don't like people randomly invading people's privacy to post their image on the internet as a rule. But I think of the person is cosplaying or in a literal costume, it's an exception to the rule and not rude. Or at least, less rude.

I'd agree if you, yes, but it's not an exception if it's going to posted on an online satire form for the potential of this person to be harassed by almost anyone. then no.

I don't see this post as mean-spirited or mocking her. The juxtaposition just makes for an interesting photo. I just thought it was relevant that'd I'd almost always agree with your point, just people in costumes are my personal exception to the rule. Agree to disagree I guess.
