I would like them to offer some gesture of goodwill that reflects the seriousness of the matter. That is to say the double check-in, the resulting naked footage, the behaviour of their staff both laughing and warning against police involvement, the difficulty and delay in finding me a secure new room, etc. Not the single "free night" worth of Bonvoy points on offer (not really a credible gesture— I've already paid for a night of safe accommodation that I didn't receive). An offer of, say, 10 or 20 nights worth of Bonvoy points might start to feel like the issue is being taken seriously.
As to behaving rationally and the definition pornography: the guy stood there for a good 20-30 seconds interrogating and filming me naked. It was weird behaviour. And just because I wasn't doing anything salacious doesn't make it any less invasive, nor does it render the footage non-pornographic. If you are confused about these definitions, look up "revenge porn". Intimate imagery coupled with lack of consent immediately puts this in a different category. And this weirdo told front desk staff that he had "only shared it with his girlfriend". I was on the 17th floor. He had intimate footage, and he had already shared it with his girlfriend by the time he got to the lobby. Definitionally, that is already distribution of non-consensual pornography. Who knows where else this footage will go? Would you want intimate footage of yourself in the hands of some weirdo with a demonstrated proclivity for distributing it? I dunno, man. It seems like your perspective on this issue might be similar to Marriott's... which is exactly the problem.
Your reaction and what you are asking for are not reasonable at this point and you're not going to get the kind of resolution you want nor are you going to be able to undo what happened in the past. This whole discussion is pointless. Sorry this happened to you but it is what it is and you need to move on for your own good if you're this upset months later still.
