    Does anyone know of any real life examples in Ireland? I think it was only just made illegal last year. Browsing 4chan, I saw one of my former classmates on an "Irish Sluts" thread. Unexpected but this country is a small place

    You must have yourself torn asunder.

    It's a scummy thing to do and people should be prosecuted for sharing intimate things like that without consent.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    Genuinely, truthfully never heard of it. (4 Chan)

    Sound like an abbreviation of a Channel 4 online thing.

    I do but your mum made me swear I wouldn't tell you.

    Indeed, I'm actually keeping an eye on a blog about a chef and his local (to me) current girlfriend who took money from his ex..and made threats about posting her images....so I'd say while not common..it definitely happens


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭Always Be Closing


    My ex is now a pornstar

    She’ll be delighted when she finds out

    serious question here for the ladies. when your boyfriend takes a picture or video of you naked, do you think he keeps it to himself?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 61 ✭✭Flavour Diaper

    If your putting up videos of intimate encounters, in an attempt to shame humiliate or get back at a person..

    You should essentially be put on some form of sexual predator list. Utterly disgusting thing to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,193 ✭✭✭Vestiapx

    It's clear what he's suggesting, I'm sure loads of people treat the boudoir pics with the intimacy that they deserve but many many lads are insecure children that can't help but boast in every and all ways they can to help them feel important.

    Sexual predator is a bit much, but I agree that there should be harsh penalties.

    Harsh? I think its fair. Some hateful human putting a video of some one having sex, Imagine how you'd feel after 1000 people watched it tugging the stomach of them selves. To something you never consented to being put in the public eye it should be viewed as an act of a sexual predator.

    The very nature of revenge porn is to humiliate, violate and hurt someone. How is that any different to pedophilia or rape?

    My ex posted a revenge porn video of me online. It was so short she could have made it into a .gif

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,483 ✭✭✭mr_fegelien


    The thing about revenge porn is, does it really affect someone as much in 2020 compared to if it was posted in the early noughties?

    If you had told people when the internet began that in not to short time, people would be posting images of themselves at home, on holidays, etc on social media, they would have been utterly perplexed by how stupidly open someone is. One would have thought it wouls bring a lot of attention.

    But posting your entire life is what happens today on Facebook, Instagram and no one gives a **** about it. Ironically, everyone openly posting about their life means that it won't attract attention.

    My thinking is that this is the same with revenge porn. There is so much pornography online that if someone were to put a video of you sucking dick for 20 minutes, it would be part of the millions of videos that already exist on thousands of internet sites. Thus, no one would take notice and this would barely affrct your life.

    As i told you, one of my classmates in secondary school had her nudes uploaded online. I don't think it's affected her much.

    Who even sends someone a nude photo/video, honestly it's a recipe for disaster

    A friend of mine had revenge porn posted online, hidden camera, no consent given. There were threats to send it to her job, family and friends. Absolutely horrific thing to do to someone. The name doesn't help, it's not always a leaked picture you chose to be a part of and even if you do, it's still a violation.

    because it is neither pedophilia nor rape

    for the record, it should be an offence

    but classing every offence that involves sex as full on sexual assault is a retrograde and counterproductive instinct


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 12,955 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    It’s a very good reason why I have never, and would never, consent to have intimate or revealing photographs, video etc of me taken by anyone.

    It is an absolutely vile and despicable thing to do to someone.

    On the face of it, yes. But it depends on what the other person did and whether they deserve it too.

    Haha thanks. Don't do videos but I've been with my OH for a very long time. If we were to break up and my pics were leaked, I wouldn't be embarrassed because we were in a long term, loving, healthy relationship. I think it shows his character, not mine. I also ensure I look good in them, just in case 😉

    12 hail marys and an our father for even thinking of it. do it now quickly.

    I get where your coming from, but again, out side the more normal aspects of some one, posting a sex tape. You've also got to look at how that person will be seen by family members, friends in a social setting, walking down the street or even going to work or how that would affect their employment opportunity's.

    You agree it should be an offence. But you think its some how counterproductive to class them as a sexual predator and that my attitude is backwards?

    The only person who's going backwards is the narcissistic vindictive ass clown who released the video. And shows a complete lack of basic respect or humanity. Much like a rapist and a pedophile.

    I think classing them in that way, would harsh but also may make a lot of people who would think about doing it realize that there are indeed hefty repercussions. For doing so.

    It's no real excuse and completely un gentlemanly.

    And if things did end that badly it's better to be the bigger person and have some class.

    Nonsense. You can't share revenge porn in self defence. Outside of some kind of utterly ridiculous hypothetical situation there is zero excuse for it whatsoever.

    Carrying oneself with a certain level of class seems to be a lost art.

    How would people feel towards someone who came home to find their wife in bed with some guy, who subsequently cleaned out their joint account, and stopped him seeing their kids by accusing him of molesting them etc, posting some revenge porn?

    Two wrongs don't make a right and all that, and of course it's wrong, but in some very limited circumstances I would have sympathy.

    What would that achieve though?

    If it were me, I'd be looking to get the best solicitor I could find and take things from there.

    Any sympathy I'd have for someone in that position would be gone the moment they posted revenge porn. Makes you just as bad as her.

    I'd have sympathy for anyone in that situation but it would be heavily eroded if they shared revenge porn, which leads into the next point.
    Leaving aside the moral issues I'd consider him a massive idiot for prejudicing himself in his legal troubles by acting that way.

    Anyway how often is this the case with revenge porn? It's such a weirdly specific circumstance that it feels like you're jumping through hoops to justify revenge porn.

    Hmmm, a choice between having my naked pictures posted on a porn site or having a man lie on top of me forcing his cock up my ass?
    Not sure about you but I'd probably go with the old photographs on a website option.

    All I'm saying is I think its as utterly deplorable as any other sex crime, I'm not trying to compare them. There's a huge difference and both can create large physiological hurdles for people

    How ever you can make the punishment so harsh, that it intimidates people from doing it.

    Nah, gentlemanly doesn’t come into it. Obviously people break up for other reasons but if she was riding your mate or brother or something then game on.
