Leaked nude photos - victim blaming, privacy...

You've probably heard about the celebrity nude photos that have been leaked online. Essentially some idiot thought it would be a great idea to access and post private naked photos of some well known female celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Rihanna.

A lot of people have been talking about how women shouldn't take nude photos if they do not want them seen. Shut up. These women have been victims of a huge violation of privacy, they are not in the wrong. They did not take these photos for the world to see, they should not be blamed for this. The only people in the wrong are those who leaked them and those who are looking at them. Women can do whatever they want with their bodies, it does not entitle you to do what you want with them!

People are allowed privacy. There was no consent allowing this photos to be shared. These photos were stolen and that is obviously wrong. Imagine if it were you, if naked photos of you were seen by the world. How would you feel? Being a celebrity does not mean these women should expect things like this to happen. It happens to lots of women and it needs to stop.

Sharing these photos with others and viewing them means you are participating in this horrible violation of privacy. Do not take part in this no matter how curious you might be.

Remember:

  • You cannot blame the person in the photos. They have a right to do what they want with their body.
  • You are not entitled to see these private images.
  • This is a violation of privacy in a huge way.
