Inside the secret world of trading nudes

  1. Private photos being shared is horrific but people need to understand that anything posted to social media is not private.

    It’s the equivalent of me putting a poster of myself naked in my window and then being upset that people have seen it.

  2. Tangential maybe, but for anyone querying the actions of the women in this I strongly advise you to spend 10 minutes looking into Medusa tattoos on the social media platform of your choice and reading the comments of women there.

    Some women do increase their own risk of being exploited like this, sure. But the blame for the crime should always rest with the perpetrator.

  3. Reddit moderators freely ban and suspend people all the time for wrongthink, but when criminal rackets exploit women and engage in disgusting practice like this their admins are nowhere to be found. Ridiculous.

  4. Did they HAVE to call it “collector culture?” Now anyone who is a collector of genuine collectables; comics, toys, stamps, coins, records, etc are automatically going to be labeled creeps.

  5. It’s bigger then this and it’s not just Reddit, but places like 9chan etc. I know you can’t expect your images to be yours anymore after you post them online, but it’s still a dangerous concept and something we need to address and think about how to tackle.

    A few years ago, I was posting to a street wear sub, talking about my outfits and things I wore and eventually posting. I was young and people were just discussing my clothes. Someone took my pictures, posting them on 9chan, and it was horrendous… these pictures were normal and fully clothed, and I was seeing comments after comments over-sexualising me. And guess what… I couldn’t get this removed, no matter how uncomfortable it made me. Many women have stories like this and it needs to stop.

  6. I like reddit for how specific it can be but these echo chambers have a dark side.

    I stumbled across/whatwouldyoudotoher and found that pretty fucked up. That doesn’t even have the additional element of blackmailing the person etc.

    I don’t know what the answer is, its like guns in America…how the fuck do you stop it now. Further still, people partaking in this, have very little sense of how bad it is.

  7. I’ve met people in the pub that we have mutual friends with. I’ve honestly had guys ask me if I wanna swap pictures of my girlfriend or previous girlfriends.

    I wouldn’t. But there’s alot of men that would. So as much as you think its OK to send pictures to your boyfriend I’d still make sure that he is someone that respects your privacy. I work with guys who show me pictures of girls they are “talking to” and some of these girls Ive ended up knowing.

    It feels dirty to to see a female friend naked knowing you shouldn’t have. And not in a sexual way. As much as i meet girls I’d love to see what they got under their clothes.. I’d want to see it knowing they are OK with it. I wouldn’t want pictures of my dick going around my friend group.

  8. The logical conclusion of this is banning porn altogether.

    There is no way of proving consent was given for an image/video to be taken or not.

  9. More manufacturing consent for censorship because someone was betrayed or hacked. Also a creep to digital IDs so everything ever done on the net is traceable to you. Also dont forget Shitty Patel has arranged for a safety tech industry to pop up to support the online harms bill. So there is a lot of money to be made from pushing this bill through.

    Once there was physical notice boards and lamp posts people would use to humiliate people with, then the likes of ‘readers wives’ which for sure were not all wives and not consented. Then vbulletin boards on the net and social media and now instant messaging group apps. The reddit subs are gross and the reddit admin are far too slow to take them down contrary to the auto bans they use for certain words but technically it’s extremely hard to guarantee consent for images that have gone up.

  10. Why are people such trash. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had explicit conversations myself with people on Snapchat/Insta but as a guy if a girl sends me nudes I never ever save them or send them about.

    I don’t get why people do such scummy stuff by leaking a girls nudes. Like bro she trusted you enough to show you herself in that form and your here breaking the trust it’s actually sickening.

    And those of you victim blaming are part of the problem!

  11. Because we are turning into a population that wanks and mastrubates instead of having healthy sexual life.

    Dating is expensive, marriage is expensive, going out is expensive and people’s moral have become inferior due to multiple years of brainwashing through social media.

  12. I’d be genuinely surprised if a good number of the offensive comments aren’t made by women.
    Yes Reddit is male heavy, but the article only ever refers to the users as being male.

  13. Take naked pictures of yourself and store them on connected digital devices…. I am shocked that a percentage of them get miscirulated. Who would of thought it?
