Sexism, god help us (3 Viewers)

It seems like in previous years there'd have been wider online rage about this leak of nudes that happened recently.

Or perhaps there has been but I'm just so old now that my social media platform of choice, twitter, is passe for the people who've been directly hurt by this.
"My" twitter is up in arms, but I haven't seen much about in in real life, although some PBP politicians have been talking about it on Facebook. It's such an alien concept to someone as old and out of touch as I am.

I saw one woman on twitter saying that the general silence from men on the subject was telling.

Saw a video of a statement in the dail on the matter from a Soc Dem TD as well. Perhaps I've been so busy this week that it hasn't infiltrated my bubble, I've barely had time to check the news but was surprised I couldn't see anything about it on the journal or if its been discussed on the radio.
 
I've only seen the news pieces on it. I haven't seen much in terms of victim blaming or anything but I haven't gone looking either.

It was front 'page' on the journal last night.

HOWEVER

As a new report, until there is some legal movements, as an defined thing its harder to legitimise a story in terms of putting it on paper. It'd take a day or two research to get this one up.
 
I'd love if people were ok enough with their/each other's bodies to not give a fuck if anyone saw nude pictures of them. It's all so daft. That's not to say I wouldn't be weirded out if there was a naked picture of me freely available online (especially if I was in a sexually aroused state) but ... like, why? Would you guys think less of me if you found out that, under my clothes, I'm in the nip?

The erosion of trust is the issue to me.

I mean, christ. I'm pathetic in lots of ways but at least I never was pathetic like that.


But then I think of some of the "banter" that happens in workplaces, and i'm not privy to 99% of it. Like, it's very much a cliché at this point to blame misogyny and "the patriarchy," but some people are completely warped when it comes to the opposite sex.

Because unlike women, you wouldn’t be considered a slut, undatable and bringing shame to your family, job etc.
Also don’t forget that some of these photos were of girls under the age of consent.
 
I'm not trying to diminish the victims' plight here, btw - I mean, clearly it's a big deal (and like I said it'd be a big deal even for a relatively shameless man like myself), but the more I think about it the less I can see why it's a big deal. I mean - I can feel the feelings, but I don't understand them
 
I had never heard of dischord until this, and when I heard it I assumed it was some dark web shite. I still don't really get it tbh. Some kind of reddit alternative, is about as much as I can figure out.

As awful as its been for the victims, it has been contained, has it not? As in, there were 500 pricks involved and the images, from what I can gather, didn't circulate any wider and, in fairness to dischord, they shut it down and banned the wankers who did it.

Someone identified one of the ringleaders in an instagram story I saw. A college student in Athlone IT.

And, whatever about the issue of leaking nudes in general (and I'm 100% behind all the calls for 'revenge porn' legislation), the fact that there were under-age girls caught up in this, takes it to a whole other level of seriousness. Acknowledged that the media have been somewhat muted in their reporting, and probably for the right reasons, the cops need to treat this with the utmost seriousness. The people involved in the leaks need to do hard jail time.
 
I imagine it's going to get messy when half the lads involved are underage as well. I was looking through the girl above's tweets and came across this:

I remember being 15 (16,17,18) and lads in school would absolutely have been doing this if the technology had been around at the time. Not the majority if them, not by a long shot, but not just one or two either.

The actual scale of things that are photographed since the launch of Instagram is kind of mind-boggling, it's no surprise that whole new forms of abuse have appeared. In 2019, every minute of the day:
  • Instagram users post 277,777 stories and 55,140 photos

Think this is it really. If even one of the women involved is under-age, then it's automatically a crime isn't it? And considering that the perpetrators are obviously shitheads, fuck it, lock em all up.
