So yeah, this is an actual thing.

Revenge porn is definitely ******. I feel like a march isn't gonna help, though. Assholes aren't gonna stop because some women marched. Aren't there laws or something?

They're few and far between because a lot of people don't realize this is an issue to begin with.

Or, when they do, they blame the victims.
Hence...the march.

I've actually been revenge porned before. But... what is a march going to do about it? Will people that are thinking about doing it not do it if they see people marching about it, or bringing awareness to it?

You're talking about it now, aren't you?
Welcome to the first step:
Recognizing that there's a problem in need of addressing.

Our legal system is always playing catch up, when it comes to ways in which people are crapsacks to each other.

Didn't really phase me, just seemed trifling. Chickens be chickens. I guess the solution is not to send nudes to whackos, or just not send nudes. I don't know that she deserves jail time for sharing what I sent her... she deserves it for other stuff, but not that.

This sh*t is wrong. It's easily preventable though, by not sending f*cking nudes/dick pics. There's a 99% chance they're going to get out.

Inb4 Plastron says I'm victim blaming.

exchanging nudes is a sign of trust, and it's pretty ****** to break that trust, even after a break-up or what have you.

It's as simple as that.

Nothing on the Internet or sent over a text is private and safe.

Reading is fundamental.

It's only a matter of time before some psycho highschool kid gets the book thrown at them for sharing pics of their underage partner...and has to register as a sex offender for disseminating child porn.

Both parties are at fault IMO. The sender for not thinking before doing, and the receiver for being a dickwad.

I can see that playing out well in a court.
"It's not my fault! They're the one who sent it to me! I'm just the one who accepted the illegal thing, and then shared it with my friends!"

Actually, depending who the defendant is, it probably would play out that way.

Reading is fundamental.

Your opinion =/= legal statue.

I'm with plastron on this one.

That being said, I'm glad I don't have nudes.

I feel like being a man this makes no difference. Who wants to look at naked pictures of a man?

Shhh. No one tell him.

Weak bait, man.

Okay, I'll let myself out.

Oh totally. I don't think the sender should receive any repercussions.

It's..just..such an easy problem to prevent if you think before you act.

Just because no one wants to look at your naked body, doesn't mean they don't want to look at naked pictures of a man.

I don't want to look at pictures of other naked men either. Even body builders or models.

That's fine, me and you just don't swing that way. Other people do, is it hard to understand? Just because you're not attracted to men, doesn't mean other people aren't.

What are you, gay or something? How can you not appriciate the male form?

This is bad and I don't mean to sound like I'm victim blaming, but I think they should teach people to not take or share photos of yourself that you wouldn't want anyone to see. I always jokingly say, "Don't put stuff online that may be used against you in a court of law" or used against you in general. Anything you do digitally can get put online, even if you don't agree to r are aware of it.

Girls need to be taught that you shouldn't have to send nude photos of yourself for a guy to like you.

Women? :lol::P

I had a friend who was super homophobic and it turned out he was gay, but he soon admitted it and came to terms with it. He's open about it now.

I don't feel this is Cubed's issue and don't feel he's gay. I feel he has insecurity issues regarding his own masculinity.

He's just baiting you all.

Not quite sure what a fitting punitive measure would be for this, but it's crazy that it's not illegal. It's a cut and dry violation of privacy rights.

I can't imagine anyone over the age of 18 thinking this is in any way an acceptable way to "get back at someone".

I'm joking. :lol:

I figured, but I wanted an excuse to say that.:P

Cause and Consequence. I just don't understand why someone would be upset at poor decisions that they made. it's definitely a crappy thing to do, don't get me wrong and extremely immature on the part of the other but at the end of the day those pictures or videos were given to the other person. They have to know these decisions carry consequences and most relationships don't really last, especially if you're young. Educating teenagers better on the consequences? sure, this is something that could be used taught in one of those jr. high assemblies or health class. People are sh-tty and do things they shouldn't, that's life.

This march however shows everything that's currently wrong with culture of people expecting to be protected or feeling like victims about stuff they should know better. I also think this is a complicated issue as people will continue to send each other private pictures and videos, your grandparents would've done so as well if they had the technology we do now, it's perfectly normal what we're seeing, it's not that today's youth are perverts, they just have another way of expressing their sexuality which other generations didn't have. So yeah, educate the youth through PSA and whatnot, this should be an episode of Degrassi not a march, what next? Marching because cigarettes made them addicted?

With that said I'm out, I gotta surf the webternet for Andrew's confirmed leaks. will return with the spoils.

Well said, sdp.

If you don't take them, they can't exist to be used as "revenge".

Also, polaroids are kind of back.... mini printer that connects to a phone... lol

I'd trust a partner to see me naked, but I wouldn't take any kind of digital image of myself or partner bare a$$ed. Its not a neccessity in life.

I absolutely love the idea that people think our grandparents didn't have the technology to take and send each other dirty pictures.
There have been dirty pictures for as long as people have been able to make pictures.

Holy crap, you all are acting like you never make bad decisions.

Just because you make yourself vulnerable to someone's cruel actions doesn't mean you deserve this to happen.

Especially younger women (or whomever) who are dying for acceptance or relationships do all sorts of stuff they'd rather not in order to keep a partner and because they don't think it will come back to haunt them. And the abuse and bullying they might experience if other people see said revenge porn can be enough to make someone suicidal.

The march obviously won't do anything except raise awareness, but that's what's needed to change policies.

a lot of people in here sound like every victim-blaming rape apologist

"oh, well if she didn't want to be raped then she shouldn't have dressed so suggestively" :ohwell:

This. I, for one, want to live in a society where young people (and everyone else) are able to get drunk/have fun/make mistakes without having their lives ruined.

Your grandparents? Aren't they from the early 1900's?

Hell my grandparents were born in 1927-1930, so that means they largely grew up in the late 40's and 50's. They didn't have technology back then.

That's very liberal and extreme of you. People can learn from others mistakes and make better choices of NOT sending nudes to every last person they "date" or hookup with. It didn't take me getting drunk to know I didn't want to do so. I watched my friends drink until they couldn't stand up.

Accept responsibility for your own actions is all I'm saying. Don't want naked pictures to haunt you, don't take them and stick them on Twitter or snapchat or text them or IM to anyone. Sharing it with someone almost 100% guarantees someone else will see them. To think otherwise is pretty stupid.

Um, the radio, camera, and movie industries would like a word with you.....
