Hacked/leaked nude photos discussion

<< < (3/15) > >>

cesium133:
I think it's not so much that society accepts the behavior but rather that it's difficult to enforce laws against that behavior. For the analogy listed earlier about locking one's front door, I'd say the internet is more like a really bad crime-ridden neighborhood rather than some ordinary suburb. If you don't lock your car in the bad neighborhood, you can expect it will be stolen. Does that excuse the people who do it? No, but it still means you don't leave your car unlocked.

The Seldom Killer:
That's verging dangerously into the realm of victim blaming.

BeoPuppy:
I've had the victim blaming response as well: if you want to make a living in the public eye, you shouldn't be surprised that the public eye wanders into your private live ...

But then I stop myself and think that this would deny some basic rights I have to these ladies.

Still, I feel that if I were in their position I'd ... buy a bigger lock on my front door? Be more careful?

I've split off this discussion from the miscellaneous musings thread because it got a bit less misc and a bit more discuss, but it's in Chatter because I didn't want to block the person who started the discussion, GM, from being able to participate! Please try to follow the Discuss rules regardless of the thread's location.

I'm not sure I would say that the people who walked past profited from the crime. Personally, whilst I'm very much in favour of the female body I wouldn't enjoy seeing naked photos of women I didn't know, in the knowledge that they hadn't wanted me to see those photos. Frankly I don't particularly like seeing the semi-naked photos that The Sun newspaper STILL insists on having on page three (and often also on the cover) because of the context of those photos. It's a lot more complex, in my view, than "yay boobies!".

The Seldom Killer:
This isn't just the public eye wandering into your private life though is it. It's the public eye breaking into your home with a crowbar and hanging your private life from every available lamppost. The material was placed in a location touted as secure by a credible organisation. Blaming the victim when they have a reasonable expectation of security, regardless of  their social standing is still victim blaming.
