Ive been stopped by cops for playing Ingress, but they only asked a few questions and let me on my way. They didn’t even get out of their cars. Someone did call them on me, but I was walking around a quiet city neighborhood at 2am. All this while being very much white, which is to say, I was never in any real danger,…

I don’t think the point is “this is a Pokemon Go specific thing” but rather “oh, look, yet another thing for POC to worry about doing in public”.

This is gonna be one of those comment sections, so I just want to say I appreciate you sharing with your experience and hope things get better.

Agreed. He’s not saying Pokemon Go is bad or wrong, he’s just pointing out that loitering and wandering around with your phone like a creeper is more dangerous for a black person than a white person.

I was gonna write “inb4 all the ignorant and racist bullshit” but there’s already a “fuck off” comment, so I guess I’m too late.
