Hacked/leaked nude photos discussion
GarandMarine:
Is it hypocritical of the Huffington Post to be decrying the recent leak of a big pile of celeb nude photos as "sexual assault"* and damning the objectification of women and the invasion of privacy of celebrities while at the same time on their own front page having at least six articles that objectify women and celebrities including bikini paparazzi photos and a NSFW photo of a nipple slip on the runway at fashion week?
*I find the appellation of this particular crime to this case kinda hyperbolic. I am no way approving of or absolving the various hackers who have been amassing these photos over the years through alleged deep web trading sites**, or the anon who leaked them. They have absolutely violated these ladies privacy in a very real and brutal way. I'm just not sure I'd call it sexual assault. Which has it's own definition that doesn't involve the intertubes.
**That's what happened according to reddit, seems like the most likely scenario to me, a leak this size being the results of many different hackers over time as opposed to one anon last tuesday who was the god king of all hackers or some stupid shit like that.
Thrillho:
Newspapers are hypocritical. Many years ago, a Chris Morris-penned satire on paedophilia called Paedogeddon aired over here, and two of the tabloids called it sick filth that should be banned from the airwaves - one of them across the page from photographs of two prepubescent teenagers in bikinis on the beach, the other one across the page from a photo of a 15-year-old Charlotte Church with the caption 'she's a big girl now.'
BeoPuppy:
So ... anyone seen the pictures?
Barmymoo:
Are you really asking whether anyone has actively sought out illegally-obtained photos of naked women?
BeoPuppy:
Yes. I'm honestly interested if anyone has come across them, whether they clicked them away furiously, how they feel about the leak, how they feel about the whole situation.
Because I cannot quite get my head around it. Specifically, I can't figure out who to blame, who should be prosecuted, how to feel about it ...
