Actually I think there were only a very small number of skeptical responses to the original post by the VICE producer here. At the time of that post (the very day) it happened that another producer was at Studio 588 who had been a subject of an earlier interview by VICE. She expressed the view that they had treated her fairly. There was also some negotiation. When they asked for permission to use small portions of several videos within their piece (and I don't yet know if these were used or not) it was granted subject to the understanding that the piece would not try to ridicule the community.
