I'd just like to share my favorite insight on this issue from one of our champions of free speech over at Voat.
Wasn't this debated in the video? "Don't live in a house if you don't want to get burgled"? Guess that Voatee person didn't watch before posting
Nah this was a few days ago when the issue first came up concerning Google. Lots of people are deluded enough to think this is actually a free speech issue. You know, because using someone's photo without their permission with the intention of harming their life, reputation, and relationships is totally a free speech issue.
Funnily enough though that is one thing I sorta disagree with John on. Yeah there's always people who like to victim blame (such as our lovely Voater friend) but sometimes saying "don't take nude photos" isn't really trying to issue blame on the person, but more about just giving solid advice in a world that isn't safe to do that right now. It's not always necessarily, "don't live in a house if you don't want to get burgled," but sometimes "lock your door if you don't want to get burgled."
That being said, people associate this weird kind of deviancy with taking nude photos which leads to a lot of the victim blaming. If you want to explore your sexuality by experimenting with photography or exhibitionism, then dammit, you should be able to. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not sure if it's that we're too conservative with sex in our society, or if you really just can't fucking trust anyone, but for safety's sake you have to work hard to protect your own privacy.
I agree, I'm a very conservative person myself. I am fully aware that any information I give online has a chance to come back and haunt me at any point in life, and it's really damn scary.
I know, which it really shouldn't be that way in an ideal world at all, but this isn't an ideal world. I think what makes people so upset is that this kind of behavior happens disproportionately to women online, and then it seems like they're getting blamed for the consequences, even though I'm sure men are sending equal if not many more dick pics every day (and a lot of those are unsolicited too!) But at least for people like me, I say "don't take nude pictures" not with undertones of judgement, but rather just trying to give safety advise. And online stalking and harassment happens for tons of reasons too beyond sexual, and it's gonna be a while before we can find a way to properly deal with that, so just be fucking careful in general.
But otherwise, express your sexuality any way you damn well please.
