Finally Justice for victims of revenge porn site - 18 years Jail

Women being in any way responsible is like saying cyclists are responsible for being injured. There's a risk with cycling. Nobody is ever hurt cycling if they're drivibg a car.

The same bs I'm reading on this thread is like the bs I read from drivers blaming cyclists for doing something obviously dangerous and should accept the risks.

The real cycling analogy is whether suggesting using lights at night is blaming the unlit person involved in an accident or advising that lights may prevent that accident in some , but not all cases

No it isn't. Riding at night without lights is illegal. Having your photo taken isn't.

 

[ufkacbln]

No.

No.

Shame the person who brought these two points into the discussion doesn't appear to share this position

No it isn't. Riding at night without lights is illegal. Having your photo taken isn't.

Unfortunately some of the acts on the site in question are also illegal which is why I chose lighting as a comparison

Oh good. Another cunobellend bore fest.

Well you chose badly. Having your photo of yourself naked is not illegal. Riding without lights at night is illegal. Try harder.

 

[Drago]

One is illegal, one is not.

When considering the possible adverse consequences of each, both are ill advised.

 

[Drago]

Some might contend that you failed to respond adequately to the point, hence your strong desire to move things quickly on and not give a simple and concise answer to an equally simple question.

<sigh> I made my original post about Stanley Spencer's painting in response to rubbish like this, suggesting that the world of electronic data sharing is something special and that this is a new problem, easily solved by people behaving themselves:


Cunobelin then waffled on about 'moral climate' and 'old fuddy duddies', as if this sort of thing never happened in 'the old days' when he probably believes people were prudes and no one produced nude images of themselves or their partners. Spencer's painting shows that to be the utter bollocks it is.



Then we moved on to the idea that 'images were private and you chose to share and with whom' which is also clearly nonsense in view of Spencer's painting, displayed in public for anyone to see and admire. As is the notion that the only solution is not to make/take the images in the first place.



As most people whose opinions I value on here appreciated, my intention in referencing this artwork was not to do with blackmail, or necessarily even with the issues of personal boundaries and interpersonal betrayal that follow on from this court case. It was encapsulated in the last six words of my original post:



Cunobelin if you wish to discuss blackmail, start another thread. But please stop this stultifying idiocy and stop attributing things to me that I did not say.

My apologies... and there was me thinking that the concept of blackmailing "a little bit was part of one of your posts:

Oh dear Cunobelin, I think you need to google the story of falling out of lust, and betrayal, that lay behind 'The Leg of Mutton Portrait'. It's a self-portrait by Stanley Spencer, gazing at his then wife Patricia Preece, full of disillusion and sadness, She tried to blackmail him a little bit with it and other images because of the social mores of the times (late 1930s), but he wasn't ashamed of it and it's a masterpiece of artistic honesty. There is nothing new under the sun.

I must also apologise for imagining that you posted:

Of course. She said, 'I'll make the picture public.' He said, 'Go ahead.'

The implication that consent in response to blackmail is obviously reasonable and the words were never posted by you, I must also apologise for raising the difference between the forced consent of responding to blackmail and free consent as obviously as forced consent is apparently acceptable and questioning forced consent is unacceptable

 

[Cyclopathic]

I'm not excusing what he or the revenge porn posters did nor am I justifying what he did. They are all exploitative twats. I'm just presenting the other side of the argument.

Why? It isn't pertinent.

 

[ufkacbln]

What the blackmail is naughty diversion? Of course it is. That is so obvious that it is hardly worth discussing.

... and TMN is even in denial of having posted this!

cunobelin.. it's like you're having a conversation with yourself, only wanting focus on three words in much larger post on a much larger thread. There's a topic in question and plenty of points that you're ether missing or avoiding or ignoring, all because you and only you want to focus on three words in one post. it's a little bit sad really.

I'm marking you down for the unnecessary italics, but that's an otherwise excellent point.

No axe to grind nor friends to please but you are coming across like an arse here.
