Pornceptual Pool Party - privacy and safety concerns
Hello all,
I wanted to share our thoughts on the latest Pornceptual party, last weekend at Maaya.
First of all, I want to say that we have been going to Pornceptual for years, we have never had issues and always found it safe and open to be our dirty slutty selves.
However this time, two huge issues:
Recording
There was SO. MUCH. RECORDING. going on, I would see someone with their phone out, pointed at the crowd, at least a few times per hour. And thats only from what I personally saw.
It was mainly near the DJ, recording the DJ themselves, but also with people in the background, and then they would just blatantly film the crowd too.
I think I don't need to explain why this is such a huge issue, especially in the age of AI.
I infomed awareness, several times, and the only thing they did was to come to that place, stick around for a few minutes, and then leave. Nothing was actually done. I don't blame them themselves, but it seems they were not properly trained for this.
Also, I was told that recording is actually allowed?? I have no idea why they would allow that, at Pornceptual of all places.
Maaya Security
For some reason Maaya had HEAPS of security guys walking around EVERYWHERE. And it was obvious they weren't prepared for pornceptual. It was like tourists at a zoo. By the end of the night they weren't even pretending to do actual work, they were just staring, glaring, commenting at the people, mostly female. At one point one guy came so close to a female friend of ours, he was openly ogling her, we had to move.
This will be our last pornceptual, as these are all non negotiable criteria for us. Its a shame, but it seems like this isn't made for the community anymore, it seems to be becoming a brand.
Would love to hear others input / experience.
