Thoughts on the Fappening?

October 07 2014

Seeing as the Fappening continues to continue...Interested in opinions coming from the female perspective? Over the past few weeks I've been thinking about the various reactions people have had on the event. From delight to indifference to anger, it's rather interesting to see the spectrum of thoughts and emotions coming from these photos & videos.Some of the questions I've had:Do people enjoy the Fappening because they're not personally affected? Does it stem unconsciously from jealousy? Is it a giant example of groupthink and deemed okay because everyone else is doing it? Would these people do the same if they personally knew the ones affected? What does this say about our morality? Our attraction to the famous? What does it say about us when we revel in others' embarrassments?What is the right way to view the victims? Do they need support? Are they a wake-up call to the larger issues of online privacy & security? Was that only because they were women? Opinions welcome.

    I think this says something about our culture and how we view celebrities and women as commodities. Really these are PEOPLE people. They have a right to privacy. Yes, they might make their living from being in the public eye and may even court publicity but they still have a right to at least some privacy. Certainly I would feel seriously violated if someone took my nudie shots and disseminated them in a public domain... Repeatedly. We all have the right to keep a part of ourselves private.

If those celebs and others didn't take the pics in the first place, there wouldn't be any to hijack.

    Tall, your comment just made me sick. These women were violated and like LD said, what you are doing is classic victim shaming. They did not save their pic in an insecure place, they were hacked. What you said is the same as: If the windows of a person's house are not unbreakable, it's their own fault if someone breaks in and steals all their personal stuff. Serves them right for being stupid, no? And that's not even the point. Even if they left their windows wide open, someone entering and stealing their private things is an offence. Yes, they are in the public eye, but that obviously doesn't mean that goes for every aspect of them. These women had their privacy violated and it's because of people like yourself that there is a market for it.

    Jennifer Lawrence in Vanity Fair: “Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this,” she says. “It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world. ”She had been tempted to write a statement when news of the privacy violation broke, she says, but “every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.” Lawrence also addresses the legal ramifications of the hack. “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime, it is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That’s why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.” “Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame. Even people who I know and love say, ‘Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.’ I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body.” Lawrence also shares a message for the tabloid community: “You have a choice. You don’t have to be a person who spreads negativity and lies for a living. You can do something good. You can be good. Let’s just make that choice and—it feels better.”

I agree that it was a terrible invasion of privacy for them (though I do admit I took a gander at the pics/videos), I don't think it is fair to suggest it was their fault for taking the photos or having them in their icloud accounts (though I _do_ think this sort of hacking is foreseeable, this isn't the first internet account hacking or phone data scandal that has hit headlines while they've been alive) I'm not so keen on singling out "women as commodities" in this - it suggests that we'd never do this to male celebrities because we see this as the wrong thing to do and doing it to a man would be beyond the pale. I don't think that is the case - I don't think there is such a high degree of interest in seeing their pictures, so the likelihood of their photos being hacked and shared is much lower.

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I have naked pictures everywhere and it should be my right to show them to who I want, not have the decision of who sees them made for me by someone who disrespects me enough to hack into my personal files and make them public. Amazing that most people would find reading someone's diary an offensive thing to do but somehow when you connect things to a computer then suddenly morals go out the window and you must have 'been looking for it' to be exposed by anyone who knows how.

    Victim blaming / shaming - not quite right. As long as the Internet has been in existence, there equally have been hackers around to try and take advantage. Everyone is aware of this - even my mother knows that and she doesn't even use a computer. The placing of any kind of sensitive material through the 'net has to be thought about with care, and if someone decides to proceed in doing so then that is akin to being wilfully negligent. The only victim that has then been abused is common sense. So I re-iterate that these people that are now complaining about certain material becoming available on the pages of the 'net is due to their own stupidity. A twist on the old maxim applies here - don't upload material that you wouldn't want your grandmother to see / know about. Yes, everyone has a right to privacy in their forms of what they wish the world to see or know about them. But that does not give them the excuse for being lax about what or how they decide to store their material in other people's domains - as mentioned, hacking is a well known phenomenon. You must always proceed with caution, or beware of the consequences of not doing so. " These women had their privacy violated and it's because of people like yourself that there is a market for it" - tell me Meander, we have never spoke nor met, so I would like you to enlighten me as to how you are now suddenly an expert on me personally. That has me really intrigued. Tall

    Quoting 'Tall_n_Hard' they shouldn't be stupid enough to put themselves in vulnerable positions. Let's see. I was in the Couples Club a while back wearing little more than my heels. Vulnerable? Yes. Public? You betcha. Did that give others the right to touch me or grope me without my permission? Absolutely not. Was the guy who followed me out of the club within his rights as I had fully exposed myself when inside? Did he have the right to invade my personal space (and more) because I had set myself up to be used due to my sexual behaviour in a public place? Quoting 'Tall_n_Hard' Victim blaming / shaming - not quite right. As long as the Internet has been in existence, there equally have been hackers around to try and take advantage. Everyone is aware of this (...) The placing of any kind of sensitive material through the 'net has to be thought about with care, and if someone decides to proceed in doing so then that is akin to being wilfully negligent. Like I said earlier, as long as personal items have been existence, so has stealing been. If someone enters your house and steals your stuff, are you being "willfully negligent" (WTF?) if you haven't barricaded your house properly then? Or, if you want to talk about a public domain: Is it your own fault if someone steals your wallet in a pub because you weren't guarding it closely enough? In other words, by showing people your wallet when paying as well as where you keep it, isn't that inviting them to take it?How "willfully negligent" of you! And about us having never spoken: Yes we have, in writing, and it taught me plenty about you.

    So if I take your logic further Tall I should not own a nice handbag and carry my money in it because there's a long history of bag snatching. It's been happening for all time and I know it's inherently risky to carry all that stuff that I care about with me when I am but a small woman and not really able to defend it, taking it out in public is just stupid. I'm not sure where you're going with the only upload what you'd be happy for your grandmother to see comment either... I mean do we really need to constantly be vigilent about what we do, how we appear? Is there any space to relax and be ones' self? Where? When? God I would hate to be a celebrity (outside my own lunchbox).

I don't think that is the case - I don't think there is such a high degree of interest in seeing their pictures, so the likelihood of their photos being hacked and shared is much lower." There is no market for men's nudie pics because their bodies are not objectified as women's are. It's probably a bit deep for the Rhp forums but we live in a culture where women are subjugated by being placed as an object upon which society has the right to gaze. A woman's image can be bought and sold without her consent or control and even against her wishes, she is commodified.

But still, we all don't take nudie photos and show our faces in the pictures. It's rude photos 101. Or hey, if you are Tall you use photos from 1980! Come on Tall... get with the program.

    Home vids as in home made naughty shit, even family stuff that has been taken with digital devices and stored on the cloud or your home computer. The most recent internet crimes are of hackers locking peoples computers and demanding a sum of money for the code to unlock your own computer. (Until then the hacker has all information) It has the authorities stumped. Everything on your desk top, mobile smart phone, is just a hack away ATM If you are in business or a celebrity you are on the hit lists. It is all getting quite serious indeed. Internet crime has taken over the war on drugs now and some fellow named "Ervine the evil and associates", sitting in their mums garage, are the new world crime lords. Yep the paparazzi hackers have loaded up the lap tops and moved too Beverly...... Hills that is, swimming pooools and movie stars.

    There are people saying...(paraphrase) "well, you didn't guard it well enough by putting it on the internet/sharing it on the cloud (etc).... so you're culpable". The people taking this position are in RHP, concealed to certain degrees behind aliases to protect their identity.... and I can say with near perfect certainty that some of them would NOT want the world beyond these walls to know that they ARE in here..... or for their real identity to be outed in RHP.

Isn't it ironic that she (felt like she had to) apologise....for what she did in private with a loved one.....and those casting stones, where the gutless pricks looking at her photos....they should be the ones hanging their heads in shame. Like I said, I don't really follow celebs....but she has gone up in my estimation as a class act...

    Quoting 'Crystallight' Total invasion of privacy with mysogynistic motives. An objectification of women. It doesn't make me think any less of those exposed. It does make me feel sad though as it seems Internet misogyny is on the increase. what evidence was there that there was anything mysogynistic about it? just because there were women involved doesn't mean we should actually toss out this M word willy nilly, perhaps it was mysogynistic in the "Alannis Morissette Ironic" way. i.e. not really at all, but it makes a catchy song. I keep thinking Tall is doing a really bad job of just suggesting that people be careful and engage in risk minimisation. Like saying "look both ways when you cross the road" is not trying to victim blame/shame anyone who got run over - its just a sensible suggestion because sometimes people don't stop in time. I feel like his main point is "be careful, if you want to make absolutely sure nobody else sees it, don't put it online where some nefarious person might get access"(As I understand it, these accounts were hacked just by guessing the security questions or passwords, this was why Apple didn't consider it a breach as no exploits were required to gain access)

    I'm not going to lie. I looked at the Jennifer Lawrence photos. She is a major sexual fantasy of mine so when nude photos leaked, it was a no brainer that I would click on them. And they were amazing. Just saying. Is it wrong that they were stolen from her? Yes. Do I have a right to look at them? No, I dont. Am I selfish for thinking that me looking at them is not going to make a difference because they are already leaked? Probably. I do feel bad for the girl (and others in her position). She has done something that we all do, she took naked photos and sent them to her partner. Its nothing to be ashamed of. If someone wanted to, they could hack each and every one of us and steal our naked pics, but no one is interested in us because we are not famous. Fame certainly does come at a price as Jennifer found out. But I am glad she has come out defending her pics, saying that she has nothing to apologise for - because she is absolutely right. Oh and to the person claiming the leak was "Misogynistic" - spare me! Misogyny is the hating of women, these leaks were not done by people who hate women, they were clearly done by people who are attracted to women. I certainly didnt look at the photos because I hate women, quite the opposite indeed! Invasion of privacy yes! Misogyny no!

    Male photos have been leaked ... Hulk Hogan's son has apparently had a few released and one of the celebs is dating Justin Verlander (baseballer) who appears in some of the pics. Conspiracy theorists are saying these "leaked" pics are leaked by the "stars" themselves to further their own interests (all publicity is good publicity). Who knows. I've heard of a few of the names on the list but tbh if 90% of them walked past me in the street I wouldn't know who they were, or maybe I'm just getting old. I recognised one as Jesse Pinkman's OD'd gf from Breaking Bad. A lot of the pics are rather tame. Those saying don't look ... it's human nature. How many drivers rubber neck at an accident or stand around an incident. This is no different, human curiousity. If it is an iCloud leak and someone has signed into their iCloud accounts and stolen the pics then I am stunned as to how none of the stars picked up on it. Whenever you sign into iCloud with a new device it tells you (or certainly it has with our house and we are Mac, iPad, iPhone) so if an alert popped up that "Dodgy hacker's iPad is now using iCloud") you'd be onto it straight away. Apple are saying their servers weren't hacked and that individual accounts were. Who knows. I'm sure iCloud has backdoors. The only let down for me was Hope Solo. As a right back I've always wondered what it would be like to have a keeper like that behind me (so to speak) and was disappointed with the fact she doesn't wax down there. That said, from one of the pics she has an MacBook charger so at least she's an Apple girl.

    I agree with you on here how awful to have PRIVATE pics and vids out in the PUBLIC.The humiliation, embrassment, out cry of mistrust. To have your PRIVATE PICS shown to the world etc.Thats the RISK when we take them right!Posting on this site or sending a sneaky pic to your lover, girlfriend showing workmates & friends your collection in your phone, Is it funny??Its happening all the time..... As soon as WE all click POST or SEND anything NUDITY........Where does it go??Who else sees it???Does DELETE really mean its DELETED?We all know theres people out there collecting our PERSONAL PICS and storing them for the wankfile or to brag at work " I overheard a guy at a pub one night say to his mate at the bar "Wanna see who I had last night?"" Check out her tits mate she sends me pics all the time"Yes you are reading this right now and going Shit that's me .........No surprise HUH? I will never lose sleep over our PICS nor worry my ass off that one day our PICS will come back and haunt us,WHY???? you ask.Because every single NUDE pic of us our heads are not seen at all.Weve taken heaps of NUDE BODY shots, no faces in any of them, so unless some SICKO out there wants to photoshop a head onto my body go for it!!!!! I do feel sorry for these CELEBRATIES,But they know as their in the PUBLIC eye all the time... The RISKS are greater because their CELEBS Its sad be true they are not using common sense when making home PORN or taken NUDE PICS, Simple, DONT SHOW YA FACES!If we really had TRUST in the world.......We wouldn't have to lock our cars or houses, BANKS could leave their doors wide open 24/7Supermarkets leave them unlocked tooCmon guys!!!!So closing with my opinion on this lets start by looking out for one another on here.... Help a fellow RHP member TODAY!go into your profiles or your friends on here who have so TRUSTED YOU to check out their pics.And if you think some of them will come back and bite them.Tell them!!!Isnt prevention ALWAYS better than a CURE!

Anything on the Web is open to be stolen, if the CIA, Defence Department, banks, big corporations etc can't keep their servers secure why would you expect a free Web based cloud server to be secure?

    I read about this in the news and I wasn't surprised at all. This is the usual hack, be it Sony, hotmail, gmail, etc. No difference. So this time it was iCloud. Next, it will be Dropbox or something else. I was overseas recently and someone used a virus to get money out of ATMs. Putting stuff online is great and convenient but there are always risks. So, any ladies out here, I do not want to receive any compromising photos of yourselves nor will I send any to you. As for the act itself, it is stealing. Taking something that someone locked away and using it for their own purposes. That is stealing alright. The point here is they used it for their own purposes, with the understanding that it was secure and only they, or the people they authorise, would have access to it. Websites do have terms of use, which includes how they will handle your data. Mischievouslad, it is a problem if they put the photos up for only certain members to see and it gets published for wider consumption than intended. If I put a photo up here, it is for people here and not my 10 year old cousin or my 90 year old grandma to see. However, there is nothing we or anyone else can do once it is online. The site might have good intentions but that is not how the technology works. It is naive to think anything on the net is secure and private. This is only a news story because they are famous. It happens to other people and the news doesn't care. What I am really interested in is how many people got infected by malware after they opened a link purporting to show those photos? Anyway, just my two cents worth.

    We have The Snappening. Allegedly thousands of Snapchat accounts have been hacked and 200.000 nude images will be released tomorrow, according to the 4Chan website. A never ending story.

    Hey-ho Crystal..! Why would one assume that this is the domain of the female only? I recall several years ago when stolen nude pics of Brad Pitt were posted on the internet, yep - cock and all. It is wrong because it is wrong! Nothing to do with gender. Hop down off your little wooden stool and contemplate the real issue. From what diabolic biological fount comes the voyeuristic compulsion to look at a nude - if you can get to, or at, it, people will look. I sure would - if it were there! My home PC is protected, and any pics I submit to a public site I accept the risk that they make be hacked and stored. Name of the game in this modern world where people have 6,000 Facebook friends, but no-one to visit on a Friday night. If you lodge explicit pictures in the public domain, any intelligent adult should know the associated risks of hacking or sharing. The right or wrong of the matter become irrelevant. Do you deserve greater protections just because you are famous? Me thinks not. Now, where were those nudes of Cock Hudson again...?

    I skipped to the end as I couldn't be bothered reading the whole lot after I read the first 800 references to the word 'hacked'. These pics were not hacked from iCloud - these users were not unfortunately smart enough to have strong passwords and 2 step verification in place. If you're using common and very weak passwords (date of birth anyone?) then it makes it very easy for someone to get access to your data. Should these celebs be given special treatment because they didn't secure their digital property? Err no. Go look at Tumblr or Reddit and you'll find thousands of pics that have been leaked of girls and I'm sure guys - that did not give expressed consent, but they aren't famous so no one cares. It's the risk we all take as soon as we take one of those compromising pics.. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Hmmmm...... Fappening....... sounded like a world record attempt involving Vaginas or something..... i was like wtf?? Meh, theyre photos, theyre people running the same risks as we are with ours....... like any risk - you take it and wear the consequences if it doesnt go to plan. Ive no sympathy for em - just because theyre famous it doesnt make them any more desirable to me personally. Most celebs to me look like Madam Tsaud has already set em in spack filler any way - much more prefer a natural girl ☺ - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'abcplus1' But sheer stupidity storing that sort of content on cloud servers. Who in their right mind would ever think they are secure. Anything on the Web is open to be stolen, if the CIA, Defence Department, banks, big corporations etc can't keep their servers secure why would you expect a free Web based cloud server to be secure? And yes, we did look at some the content :-) the point I made, but I don't see the same RHP'ers that had a shot at me having a shot at you too. Amazing ! And S on the Loose, yes and no. I think I put down a fairly logical explanation of my thoughts, but obviously some people do not understand logic. Yes, the main message was 'be careful' because the internet is not secure enough from hackers - regardless of perceived security. If someone has the skills and time, they will always be able to get in if they wish.WeWillWreckYou also has said it quite well. Tall
