I am to the point of realizing I am a complete prude or there are many people who just do not get it. Considering that since the news broke about Rep. Chris Lee and the despicable case of him sending a photo without a shirt on to a woman on Craigs List I have found it strange that us "normal" people have not figured out that it is not smart to go around sending pictures to one another that should not be seen. Nothing is wrong with a guy being shirtless or women at the beach but it is getting to the point that many people use that type of photo to attract attention to themselves and it is not the good kind of attention.
One story I know on this subject is a woman who sent compromising photos to several people and then blamed others for making her doing it. She is a woman in her mid 40's and should by now know that it just ain't a smart to do something like that.
Then there is the guy that sent pix of his wife to several friends and was shocked to find out that his friends sent them to other friends who sent them to other friends...... and on and on. What kind of nut would send nude photos of his wife to his friends in the first place is scary enough but what kind of friends a guy like that must have is even scarier.
The Mom that trashed a guy who alerted her to porn of her daughter on the internet who did not even say sorry when she was shown proof..... instead she blamed the person who proved it to her.
The mother who uses "cute" photos on her facebook page to attract guys to friend her........
Let us, the normal people, just make sure that we tell those around us to knock it off.... They will still be stupid but at least we will know we tried to warn them.
This blog is nothing but a rant but HEY, it is my blog. :-)

~~~VERY GOOD POINT. If you need porn, go get yourself a video to watch in the privacy of your own home. People do not need it slapped in their faces. It's Sick.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there are implications for privacy on the internet. Don't put anything on the internet that isn't intended to be seen by the world.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, this stigma on nudity, even partial nudity (seriously, a guy without a shirt?) is far too overblown. I don't mean to be dramatic here but... I get naked a lot. It's kind of hard for me to change my underwear without some form of nudity and I prefer my showers without clothing. Nudity is normal and human and yet people make a big deal over it.
It's not harming anyone and by stigmatizing it and inflating the importance of it, you're doing little more than throwing fuel on the fires that is the troll's desire for attention.
