Police investigation remains open. The photo of one of the minors included a fly; that is the logo of Clothoff, the application that is presumably being used to create the images, which promotes its services with the slogan: “Undress anybody with our free service!”
This isn’t about nude photos, it’s about consent.
I can already get a canvas and brush and draw what I think u/DessertStorms looks like naked and there is nothing you can do about it.
You’re not making the point you think you are, instead you’re just outing yourself as a creep. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, you dropped this \
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The lack of empathy in your response is telling. People do not care for the effect this has on teenage girls. They don’t even try to be compassionate. I think this will just become the next thing girls and women will simply have to accept as part of their life and the sexism and objectification that is targeted at them. But “boys will be boys” right?
The number of people offering practical solutions instead of knee jerk feels… oh the humanity!
Demanding people to just accept that this will happen and they just shouldn’t feel bad about it is not a practical solution.
Why?
Because this is not a solution for the people who are actually victimized. It’s just a solution for the people around those who are victimzed, so that they don’t need to change anything or talk (or listen) about it.
Beats clinging to a victim mentality imo.
A “victim mentality” is a personality trait which makes people feel universally victimized.
How is that applyable here? These kids were targeted for a crime and, in fact, victimized by their peers or possibly even adults.
What would actually beat leaving people alone who were blackmailed and had their privacy and dignity compromised like that, would be hefty punishment for the perpetrators. Those are the people you should look at with scrutinity, instead of concentrating on how the victims should behave.
Photoshopped nude pictures of celebrities (and people the photoshopper knew personally) have been around for at least 30 years at this point. This is not a new issue as far as the legal situation is concerned, just the ease of doing it changed a bit.
