Sexual Health Revenge Porn: who's fault is it?
ciitruskiwi Guru
Definition of revenge porn for those who don't know: "revealing or sexually explicit images or videos of a person posted on the Internet, typically by a former sexual partner, without the consent of the subject and in order to cause them distress or embarrassment" I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Revenge Porn". I've heard of it before but this documentary really opened my eyes. The countless of websites there are for it, the amount of people who willingly go looking for this, the rude and disgusting comments people leave on the pictures. It's all so sickening and the most shocking of all, the fact that uploading pictures to revenge porn websites is illegal but the websites themselves are not illegal. One of the women interviewed that her pictures were viewed by 48,000 people. That is absolutely sickening. Some people interviewed were victim blaming and that's where my poll comes from. Who's fault do you think it is? The person who sent nudes or the person who posted the nudes without consent? Personally, I think it's the other person's fault. Obviously you should always be careful and not send nudes to every single person (or at all really) and it's always best to not show your face if you do send them but you trusted someone and they betrayed you, that's not right. Yes people will betray your trust but it shouldn't happen and no one likes to think that someone would do that to them. Few more questions: Girls, how would you feel if you were ever, unfortunately, in this situation? I'd freak. Just thinking about it happening to me makes me cringe. Guys, would you or could you ever do this to someone? Also, if it were your nudes shared by an ex girlfriend or whoever how would you feel?

7 27If you are going to send nude pictures of yourself, you might as well expect them to be shared with the world. This is really no big deal.

The uploader,,
It's shared fault. This situation sucks.
It depends on the situation, I was pressured into sending to keep him from spreading rumors that we had sex, and then after I sent one he threatened that if I didn't send more he'd leak them to my school
I'm sorry that happened to you.
It's ALWAYS the other person's fault. No argument, no questioning.
That being said, if you're going to send someone nudes or have your photo taken be careful who it is.
The fault definitely lies with the person uploading the images. I would also say that with the way devices are insecure these day that having the images/movies at all is kind of risky.
The person who kept the pics and videos and used it to their advantage to shame or cause libel against the person
