If it seems incredibly fucking bizarre for a venue to have facial recognition cameras and a database tracking the sexual orientation of guests,
The surveillance practices implemented by Dolan are also enforced at his company’s other venues: The Sphere in Las Vegas and Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
It’s because the venue is owned by a rich, paranoid weirdo.
They’re just building their “antifa” and “undesirables” lists for when the mass murder starts. Nothing suss.
Because everybody knows straight cis people never do anything untoward, amirite?
[E]ntries [note] a supposed risk level, and, in some cases, an individual’s sexual orientation and racial identity.
Straight white cis people never do anything untoward.
For what its worth, its not just lgbt people. Morgan Wallen is on the list as well.
To wish them happy pride, right?
Right?
It’s all projection.
I’ll play devil’s advocate, these venues kind of have an obligation to have information on the artists they’re hosting. How they use (and store) that information to book and host events is another thing, but a good venue doesn’t blindly book artists. And when you book a lot, you can’t rely on memory.
A venue needs to know if they should expect blowback against the artist and crowd they’re hosting as they’ve an obligation to protect them. You can’t have a safe place if you turn a blind eye to the people who might seek to disrupt the show.
Wth are you on about. If you’re going to play devils advocate at least advocate for some realistic alternative viewpoint. What you just wrote makes zero sense.
Maybe they should get them to wear pins, too! Ya know, for their safety or whatever.
Get real.
