A few days ago, a couple of New York natives on TRP claimed that the video was sensationalized, basically because almost all of it was shot in select areas of the city which they could more or less recognize. This prompted me to chime in with my own first-impression of why the video showed what it did, based on my experiences travelling.
Basically, the theory was that areas with a certain culture and demographic which do not see visitors of a different type tend to notice them more, and tend to notice them more obviously. i.e. If you're a suited-up white guy in Guangzhou, you might not be catcalled(well, actually you might, gweilo. depends on the area), but you probably will get enough stares to realize you don't belong.
Well, it turns out those New Yorkers were right. And I still say, this theory is in fact, what was happening. That video is just a shallow version of Kony2012, in the way it is designed to go viral. The difference being the previous guys at least had the dignity to at least not completely lie about the problem, before suggesting their rigged profit-oriented solutions.

These guys are preying on perfectly primed sjw/white-knight/feminist/victim-complex mindsets. In fact, I'd say they're trying to breed them to sell future videos. They recognized a market, and they hired an actress to cash in. They knew that if they could present it completely devoid of context, a video of an attractive white woman in those places would appeal to the fears of sally middle-class'es everywhere.
Cat-calling exists, but it does not exist to the extent of anything that women or feminism want you to believe.
If this takeaway wasn't true, this video shot over 10 hours, from the 8th largest city in the world, could be longer, show worse things, or be shot anywhere. Its doubters could be addressed via replication oof its claimed results, but more transparently. This is the falsifiable claim I will make.
A woman is not more unsafe on a given street than a man. Deserted or not. For almost any crime. She just feels more unsafe. Even the catcalling recorded here under rigged conditions was mostly "Good morning's" and "God bless you's" from black people. In fact, some of them who I imagine feel extremely saddened that even their nonthreatening hellos to a white person in their neighborhood were received in such a disgusting way.
Not unlike any low SMV man perceived as "creepy" would feel.
This entire exercise in my opinion is an example of how eager we all are to buy into whatever victim complex feminism is selling. All the righteous sob-stories by women in response to this, overplaying and humble-bragging about that one guy, all the white-knights saying how "he never knew"... this kind of puts that in perspective.
