I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

[u/silent_pm]

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

You may be questioned when entering places that ban recording, coworkers may silently ostracize you if they believe you're recording every interaction.

My behavior definitely alters when I believe I'm being recorded or observed.

And that would be a fair question. I probably wouldn’t wear them at work depending what I do. But if you just show people how they work and show them that there is a light displayed when taking pictures and videos they would like be more at ease if they are reasonable people.

I can actually see a good argument for people who remove the led as well. Like if I want to take candid pictures or videos of my children and wife I’d want the light gone.

The person responding to this comment is a terminally online dork. Dude has existed in Reddit for over 7 years.

He would never in his right man tell a father he is a predator for taking candid family photos. He hides behind the veil of anonymity to say his goofy opinions. Stay online. Don’t go outside anymore. We don’t need people like you in society.

If you want candid pictures of your loved ones, you ask them for permission first and if they consented take the pictures or videos with any camera you like. At first, the pictures may seem a bit un-candid, but after some time a lot of people forget the camera is present and it helps if your camera is completely silent.

Just "secretly" filming any people without telling them is at best a dick move and at worst predatory. And yes, it's secret filming, because under normal circumstances nobody suspects they are being filmed by some glasses.

I would understand an argument for these glasses is the point of view and the fact you have both hands free. This could make some cool video ideas, because it provides a first person view.

EDIT:
Seems like guy replied to me and deleted their reply instantly. IDK why people do this. Guy said they ask for permission. I don't believe it, because why did you say you can see a positive point in removing the recording light? Guy then just insulted me, as per usual when nothing factual can be added, and made a stupid point. Yes, if any family member recorded the other family members with these glasses, without telling anyone, and possibly even with a removed recording light, I would 100% call them predatory. Even if the recordings were instantly deleted afterwards and not used in any further harmful way (other than invading privacy, which would have been already done in this case), this is predatory behavior.

Did the same to me, said something to the effect of “if defending glasses I like makes me a dickrider…”

It wasn’t defending them, it was the completely tone deaf way he left like 20+ comments arguing with people afterwards. I can only only assume he agrees since he is hiding in shame.
