I am not sure to understand the concept of a date in the US. Is it something you do with the ones you fear? And why would men be affraid of a date with a woman? And how could filming some part of the date prove that there isn't an unfilmed (or erased) part with an aggression? How something as simple and beautifull as a date can become so complicated and scary?

I genuinely try to understand...

    Please do not mistake my attempt at explanations as endorsements of the explanation.

    The line between comfort and fear is a sentence. So to the first question, sometimes. A date is about feeling out a person, so fear is certainly a part of the equation at times.

    Regarding a man being afraid of a date with a woman, probably due to a perpetually-online mindset that false-accusations are commonplace? That's the best I can come up with.

    In general, I think you're right to be skeptical, but hype and fear sell. Reasonable rationality does not.

    I understand it is not your position, and thank you for your explaination.

    Here is a soluton for them, easy and free:

    Have the date in a public place, and avoid private places until there are no more fears on both side. Wait until each can feel knowing each other enough to be alone together.

    (I guess you don't need the advice, but some of them could read this...)
