It has gone viral already, that's the downside of social media.

Gremlinertia

I feel lucky sometimes that i was before phone cameras etc.

Hi Joya o/ Yourself and myself seem to have a lot in common when it comes to our woes girl :pac:

I haven't seen the picture yet but in all honesty but I just read on an article on it. It seems the guy that took the pictures was out to "slut shame". Absolute cretin..

Shiminay

Well we all saw with Slane Girl how quick people are to slut shame. I personally loved telling people who shared it that if it did turn out that she was underage, they could and probably would be arrested for distribution of images of child abuse. Shut a lot of righteous indignation down immediately (as if there was any possible defence of sharing an image of someone giving someone else head at a gig).

Gremlinertia

It's frightening how quickly people jump on the bandwagon. And meanwhile there are some very big things going on around us that we would do well to pay attention to..

Shiminay

Yep, couldn't put it better myself Grem.

Mozzeltoff

As I said it's **** that happens in every night club up and down the country at the weekend. Actually I know of worse stories than this and they all happened on nights out.

x Purple Pawprints x

I've seen a lot worse in clubs myself.

Mozzeltoff

As have I girl!! And I have heard quite a few tales about shenanigans that a few people I know have gotten up to. It happens, I don't understand the need to go out and shame the life out of some randomer.

True, same here. While it's not something I'd do myself, I'd never shame anyone that did. It's their business.

Mozzeltoff

Exactly. It's no ones business. Some guy just wanted to start a massive controversy over nothing. One sad individual.

ARCHER is brilliant

You'd have to wonder about someone wandering around these gigs actually looking for that sort of photo. :eek:

I'd consider them to be a pervert.

Sure lookit, we all occasionally let the hormones take over and get friskier with someone in a public place than might strictly be "decent" as they used to say, but we're still such a sexually repressed nation that the almost genetic need to shame someone who you've "caught" has a long way to go before becoming a thing of the past. Fking Catholics, they make you ashamed of all sex, ashamed of the specific sexual act of procreation, ashamed of your bodies, ashamed of expressing love and intimacy, say you should be burned if you have the audacity to be attracted to the same gender as yourself and then spend their time fking children entrusted to their care.

Very well said Shim. Couldn't really add anymore to that tbh, except that I went to a school where we were supposed to be ashamed of something they taught us nothing about. We didn't even get the period talk until 6th class and at that stage I already had mine. Apart from that talk, and a 5th year biology class, I learned nothing about sex in either primary or secondary schools.

I remember reproduction was part of a module we had to do in 1st year in science in secondary school. I remember we had a sub in and not a hope in hell would he cover the topic of reproduction.

One day, just before class, one of the boys went up to the white board, found a marker and drew a picture of a vagina. When the teacher came in a few minutes later he was stunned by what he saw on the white board. The artist then pips up "Have you never seen one of those before, sir?"

Not a bit of "birds and bees" chat to be had in out classrooms unless you count desk graffitti!

That's priceless!

That was pretty much my experience. Everything I learned I had to Google, honestly.

Gremlinertia

I was before google too. Learning came from animals and wild scurrilous tales from school yard..

Apparently back in the day, the local pub would screen some "blue movies" on a certain day of the week :pac: Or so the gossip in the parish would have you know :pac:

I think nearly every pub in the country did this at some stage or another!!

Shiminay

We had reproduction on our Junior Cert syllabus and our science teacher was the one who taught biology to the senior classes. All Boys school, so there were some smart comments form some, but it was all fairly straight forward and hassle free given we were a bunch of 13-15 year olds.
