The difference between Japanese streamers and foreign streamers in Japan is like night and day. When I watch local streamers, they almost always take the time to blur out faces and anything that might even present anything identifiable. It seems almost excessive at times, but there's a very real sense of societal awareness and social obligation not to be a dick. Even the evening news over here blurs out the faces of random passersby when they film on location. Then when I watch foreigners who stream over here, it's rude, in-your-face, talking about you right in front of you (with no regards as to whether or not they speak English). I expect the Japanese people who you see on these shitbag streamers' channels assume that they'll be treated with the same respect and decency that local streamers would use, rather than be immortalized on Youtube without their permission. It really sucks.

It's not about the permission or apologies. It's about being a decent human being. These asshats who spend the time adding text and graphics to their videos could also blur faces and hide identities, but they don't. Fuck them.
