If the general public are taking at face value everything they see on YouTube and expect responsible and accurate tagging then they really are incredibly stupid and deserve to believe that a fat bloke wobbling his beer gut is belly dance. As if most of them care anyway....

I completely agree about not misrepresenting ones amateur efforts. But as Moon said, comments are along the lines of "you're a .... (insert colour/ appearance/ gender/ religion/ background etc), you'll never get it, you shouldn't be doing this" are plain offensive. It sends a hate-filled message to everyone, from the ones who don't get it, don't care and just want to do their own self expressing thing in the name of belly dance, to the most responsible and dedicated genuine student.
