I can understand her reaction to all this but I think that she shouldn't be so niave. Anytime you make a video or take pictures and post them on a public venue like youtube or webshots or flikr or a numerous other number of social networking places you have to be ready for that kind of thing. Maybe it isn't even "fetish people" maybe it is just rude people attacking the way you look or that your video/picture is stupid. If you are going to make your videos and pictures public be ready for criticism. Better yet there is a function on youtube that allows you to turn off the comments on your videos so that people can't comment on them. To me this comes across as bitching about something that you set yourself up for whenever you post your own pictures, videos or even written work on the internet.
Criticism is just a part of life may it be some guy telling you that he thinks you suck or that he'd like to tickle you cause you're hot. Believe me I can understand that it is creepy to someone who isn't a member of this forum and doesn't understand fetishes, but you open yourself up to that kind of thing when you post a video of yourself being tickled on a public site for the entire world to see. If she doesn't want to read the comments she needs to either make the videos private so that only her friends on youtube can see them, or change the settings on youtube so that no one can leave comments on the videos. I don't like having my band's music critiqued by people who can't play an instrument, but we open ourselves up to it by going up on stage and playing in bars and clubs. If you can't handle criticism and the comments that people make then simply don't put your videos and pictures and creative expressions out in public for everyone to see because when you do they are going to make comments about them.
Like I said earlier, because I don't want to come across as an unsympathetic asshole, I understand that it must weird her out to read these comments about wanting to tie her up and tickle her. I can imagine it freaked her out and it disgusted her a bit that people would leave these comments on a video that she and her friend made for fun. And to be honest people should realize she like 18 and obviously niave and to make comments like that is going to freak her out. I still say she brings this on herself because when you post a video like that on an open forum people are going to write comments about it and critique it. If you don't want to be critiqued, judged and commented on then don't make your videos, pictures, writing and other artistic expressions public. Be uncreative and normal like the rest of the world and we will all ignore you. But, if you want to be different and creative and choose to express yourself in some way you have to be willing to accept criticism and take the comments that people are going to make no matter how weird they may be at times.
