Masive celebrity nudes leaked - Jennifer Lawrence and others
As dumb as her views about this are, I really am starting to feel bad for these dumb girls. I've seen all the releases that were made public... these girls are doing some really raunchy, embarrassing shit that no one would want to have publicized, especially someone already in the spotlight. Actually starting to feel bad for them.
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
I honestly feel bad for them too, but there's a limit to my compassion.
I know they're not Kardashians and didn't intend for this stuff to go public. (And for Kim fucking Kardashian to get upset about her photo being out their is beyond ridiculous. The bitch is only famous because of her amateur porn.) However, not taking ANY blame for the photos/videos existing or ANY responsibility for properly securing said images is self-serving horseshit. I know they didn't intent to get hacked, but this is the real world equivalent of taking Polaroids of themselves, handing it to a stranger with no guarantee of security, and then being shocked when other people see it.
Oh, and calling everyone who looks at their nudies a sex offender is complete bullshit and as childish as it gets. You're famous, hot, and naked. Who isn't going to look? It's fucking human nature to look.
If it wasn't happening to them, they'd look. Don't let them fool you and say they wouldn't. It'd be a lie. If NASA had accidentally released images of Liam Neeson's cock a week prior to this scandal Jennifer Lawrence would have looked at them. (TPR just laughed.)
Pro tip:
If you don't want people to see you naked or doing embarrassing things, it's easy. Simply do the following:
1. Don't let someone take photos or video of you doing it.
2. Don't text those images out to people.
If you have a nudie photo out there, someone is going to see it that you didn't want to see it.
Instead of whining about what happened, grow up and realize you can't make people unsee those images or stop their distribution. Stop attacking your fans for having natural curiosity. Fucking OWN those pictures. Teach other women not to act like a victim and instead be empowered by something like this.

I keep seeing all this bullshit about "I can do what I want when I want, and you are just slut shaming me for having nudie pics." To me it is just another way of saying that women don't need to be careful in back alleys at midnight, because we just need to teach men to not rape.
People should just know to not be kidnappers, but I am not going to put out my thumb for the first car to take my kid to school in the morning, and if you don't put it in writing (or take a picture of it), no one can prove a thing. It's just basic facts of life.
And I told you guys Apple was going to get off easy.

Right, but without Apple's shit-tacular security, we'd never know the pictures existed. Historically, nudes on the internet have been a bitter boyfriend type of thing/revenge porn.Vince wrote:I don't know if I'd say it's irresponsible, but it's a risk they had to know they took going into it. If they didn't go into it knowing these might get out, they're just stupid.
I'm still stunned Apple hasn't taken more fallout for all of this.
It's not me, it's someone else.
I'm not really but kind of surprised about Apple and the lack of fallout as well, but Apple is the Obama of the tech world. They aren't going to get the bad press.
Lots of celeb nudes have made their way online before this. They took a risk and rolled craps.

I fully endorse all nude photo taking, but don't be so naive to think you shouldn't protect them in every way possible if you don't want people seeing them.
And certainly don't blame folks for looking at them once they're out. To imply you wouldn't do the exact same thing in their position is bullshit.
That's why whining about it doesn't help. The damage is done.

It'll be more than 40.
I've spoken to a few younger ladies about Snapchat and apparently they were going nuts with it thinking the messages were just to one person and deleted immediately.
If you remember, the first Snapchat scandal was the fact that the company was keeping copies of all the pictures.
They might have been the world's largest database of underage porn. Wonder why nobody busted them on that?

To put Snapsaved's post in perspective: 500MB is roughly 10,000 Snapchat photos worth of data, and importantly, it appears that data doesn't come with the personal information that could be used to link it back to you.
Snapsaved apologized for the hack, noting that a majority of it users are in the United States, Sweden, and Norway,
Thanks for narrowing it down, Snapsaved.
