    This is the second post I’ve seen in two days where people come out of the woodwork to victim blame women specifically. Hey Lemmy, what’s going on?

          I think it’s mostly an interference with data privacy philosophy that is very strong on Lemmy, they are blaming people who are not careful about handing their data to companies in general, not only women, although they should be more clear to avoid your interpretation.

            It’s literally in a thread where a guy tells women it’s their fault their nudes were leaked. I’m not sure what other ‘interpretation’ one would make here.

            He says, in the comic, ‘don’t take any (nudes).’ Someone makes an analog video/takes pictures with someone/etc, and it gets moved revenge porn - by far the most frequent way (non-famous) people’s nudes are leaked - there’s not some data pirate or whatever stealing it, it’s someone with direct access to it. Unless we’re saying people should be psychic and know what everyone around them will do, there’s no way to 100% prevent this.

              That’s a satire, not a promotion of this behavior. Unless I am the one misinterpreting this op.

              I agree that the privacy issue is not only due to company/pirating but also bad behavior of recipients. So let me extend the point to handling private data to someone else in general. I’m not saying this point is the best, just that this is what most critical comments are about here, not the gender of the person.

          Gotcha. Yeah. Lemmy has some unsavory elements that caused me to leave for a few months. I’m back on a trial basis at the moment

            If you can stomach it, the best way to beat it is to drown out their voices, and also block them. Suddenly it feels a lot better, and eventually it’s just trolls talking to each other, and everyone else talking with each other.

      I think you’re confusing two things. The fact that yeah taking and especially sending nudes puts you at risk vs assigning blame. A lot of people seem to think saying the first means you’re doing the second for some reason.
