From now on, I deem them to be known as, "PERVVISION"

I get that they are totally sus, especially in this case, but.....are the glasses the MAIN issue here? It feels like he's just a person who needs to get his ass beat in general.

and the perv security cameras all uploading to the cloud ?

What a weirdly written article. Reads like the disjointed ramblings of a teenager. That being said, someone should beat the shit out of the general manager and break his perv glasses

The comments on that story are fucking misogynistic as hell

When everyone is naked then nobody is

This seems like an AI slop. Not an article at all but a catchy headline and story.

video evidence is good protection against false accusations

While the glasses are definitely a problem, this seems to be more about the general manager just being an utter cunt.

“At this point, my friend’s husband’s getting frustrated, and he’s like, ‘You need to give me my ID back,’” Marilyn said. “The GM threatens to call the cops on my friend’s husband and threatens to ban him.”

"OK, call the cops." is what they should have said.

which resulted in her considering other gyms entirely.

Considering!?

did AI write that article? what a mess of words

I don’t think newsbreak expects people to actually move past the headline and read the article because most of it is incoherent bullshit.

now we have fucking start putting signs to ban recording glasses too? fucking hell just be a decent human being so we don't have to drown in rules.

The source for this article is not great. Maybe OP should consider that before sharing it here.

I'm not sure how the glasses provide protection. Seems like corporate must get a constant stream of complaints and accusations about this bozo but recordings of him being such an ass would not really be much of a defense.

The title isn't even accurate to what happened

I saw an article the other day about women in Spain not sunbathing topless anymore because of all the "nudify" apps and pervert glasses. Are gyms going to be next? And I mean "going to the gym", not "working out topless".

The gym already has security cameras, the fuck does he mean the glasses are for his "protection"?

Call them creeper glasses.

“He’s like, ‘Hey, you know, what happened with my wife earlier?’ The general manager then responded, saying, ‘Do you wanna get bonk with me?’  Like, do you wanna fight?” she recalls.

Is this what passes for a manager these days?

I feel like stupid is consistent. Someone who is stupid will wear these glasses, and also act like the manager in this story.

I have a hard time believing this story. The woman claims she brought her friend in on a guest pass but then when there's an issue, that friend's husband appears in the story out of nowhere and happend to be there working out at the exact same time under his own membership? The claimed over-the-top responses by the manager and the fact that she then deleted her post makes this all very fishy.

Dickhead with glasses for no real reason vrs victim content creator

Trash TV

Wow. That's like a super badly written article.

The manager with the glasses claimed recording was for his protection, for anyone confused about the wording.

The husband should have backed out of the situation and called the cops. It's a rare situation that cops are a good solution, but this is one of them. The minute a cop walks through the front door, the manager will find the ID. That is, if you can get a cop to show up for this at all. You'd need to emphasize that the manager was threatening to start a fight, I suppose. Also, I'd love to see the cop ask to watch the recording of the incident. Fucking fool thinks the glasses are for his protection, that's not how it works.

Finally, if he actually needs a camera "for his protection" there's no reason to use pervert glasses, he can just mount an obvious camera and put up a sign, as has been done for decades. "Smile, you're on Candid Camera!", although that reference is lost on anyone under 30 now.

You know, the specific situation aside, because fuck that guy; but I kinda get why someone would want something to serve as a body cam. There's benefits to it, particularly if you're in public a lot.

Yeah, it's not fucking cool the way the glasses do it, but I still get the use case. It's just a shame it's impossible to use something like that and be privacy friendly
