Seeking permission and consent before filming or engaging other participants in Black Rock City is a requirement and responsibility for anyone at the event. This camp received multiple warnings and opportunities to correct their behavior, yet continued to violate our policies and were therefore evicted.

And of course the Christians played the victim afterwards.

Hinerman’s videos allege that the camp was being discriminated against based on its religion and that its members were given only three hours to pack their belongings.

Apparently, they didn't properly clean up their campsite on the way out, either. Classy!

They went there to convert a bunch of people, but they didn't show any respect for the local customs. Sounds like Christian missionaries, alright.

Don't you know saving souls is more important than local customs, heathen?! vomiting sounds

Call me crazy, but I think that it would be easier to convert people if they weren't being assholes, but what do I know.

You aren't wrong, syncretism is a thing for a reason.

When I read the term "Christian EDM" I noped right out of that article.

Perhaps the Christian’s should just…fuck off? They keep breaking the social contract, therefore courtesy is no longer necessary
