Quote from: Peter D. on September 16, 2023, 01:22:50 AMDoes a teacher who asks their students to bring in photos of their family for a family tree or a timeline cross the line?
If someone who I'm chatting with, whether I know them or barely do says, "You have three kids...you're busy and blessed...do you mind sharing a photo of them so I can see what they look like?", I don't take it as anything more than curiosity and happily oblige.
Now, if someone says, "You have a teenage daughter eh...would love to see a picture of her," then I'd take that as downright creepy.
Who the heck knows where this story falls. I'd like to think Babcock is not stupid to have this be anything more than genuine interest in getting to know a player on a personal level. Since this was done with every player, I also don't feel he was picking on or isolating certain players, nor made it an attempt to stumble on scandalous or nude photos or something.

You don't need to see my PERSONAL pics to get to know me. It's one thing for a player to volunteer them and another to ask to see them. And asking a player who doesn't want to share puts them in a very awkward position seeing they will most likely feel pressure to show them because of Babs' power. Add in It's creepy.
I don't see the harm asking the players to see photos of their family as a means to get to know them on a personable level.
Now, if he asked them to hand over their phone and he was scrolling through the pics at his discretion, then yeah, that is creepy. No guy wants someone else looking at their phone (particularly their wife or significant other haha).
As mentioned above, if this was Dubas he'd be considered a saint being so personable. But it being Babcock, who is known to be an unsympathetic jerk, he will not be given any benefit of the doubt. Even still, I think this is relatively harmless, provided he's not scrolling through and stumbling across a bunch of inappropriate private photos.
There's a reason they're expanding the investigation.
