Let’s talk about all the sneaky photos and videos people are taking of Connor and Hudson.

Take a moment to imagine how they might be feeling about the invasion of their privacy and the violation of their basic humanity.

Not getting it? Recall how you’ve been reacting to all the stories about women unknowingly being filmed with meta glasses.

Still not getting it? Think about how you reacted to Hudson being hounded and filmed against his will by those paps in Paris.

Are you getting it now? How invasive it is? How wrong it is? How dangerous it could be?

Connor and Hudson deserve to be able to walk down the street without unknowingly being filmed or having their photos taken.

So, if you see them out and about, treat them like the humans they are.

If you want to say hi, fine, go for it, politely.

Maybe even ask for a picture, but be respectful if they say no.

And stop taking pics of them without their permission.

hudson mentioned on sue that he’s been experiencing a return of his social anxiety going outside bc he knew people would be taking pictures of him without his consent, even if he asked them not to

I don't think any of it is ok. The public street pictures help identify their neighbourhood - where they are staying, which gym they go to and lead to increasingly intrusive, dangerous and disturbing stalking like Connor being touched without consent and followed to his private residence or Hudson being photographed inside the private gym clearly without his knowledge or consent.

If you call yourself a fan of either or both of them, please don't spread these non-consensual photos and videos and call out the stalkers instead of encouraging their behaviour.

They will be working in Toronto for months, and the situation is already spiralling badly with stalkers reportedly flying in to harass them. They will be forced into lockdown, it will impact their mental health being hunted for pics, and it will burden the production to have to increase security.
