Sexting victim calls out men trading photos as Woodstock police investigate

If she is angry with her partner, then she needs to take it up with him... not with an entire gender.

Well yeah, absolutely! But her partner also shared those photos with several strange men, so now they’re involved too. That’s not an entire gender, but rather a really shitty group of men who normalize this creepy and unethical behaviour.

And my intention isn’t to normalize the creation of porn, but I’m acknowledging that it’s a common thing! People in relationships have sex lives, and that can entail many different things. Some people enjoy creating and sharing pictures and videos of that nature within their own relationships, WITH THEIR PARTNERS. The people who create porn for the internet or who share it publicly are obviously not going to complain about revenge porn because there’s no revenge involved - they made their content public for others’ enjoyment. The reason there are laws against revenge porn is because the content being shared wasn’t mean for anyone else but the recipient, and the recipient is maliciously and selfishly sharing it with others. That is the big difference. You simply can’t compare that to mainstream or internet porn, as the intent behind it is very different.

For reference, the website Gawker was shut down because they published Hulk Hogan’s private sex tape and he went after them for it.
