Revenge Porn

I suppose most people know what revenge porn is. I know there are sites out there for people to post shit. I've never done it, and as far as I know I've never been posted on one. (I'm not much of sxter.)

And I recently found out that a guy I met recently got in some shit for doing it. I wouldn't have picked him, but I don't know him that well, to know if he'd go that far to get back at an ex.

So, what is your opinion of revenge porn, would you do it? Have you done? Why? Why not?

Sounds a bit like rape, or some kind of near-snuff movie . what kind of people are you knocking about with, lady

..you need to stop picking people up at that bus stop

I remember nearly having to burn my eyes off with a cup of hot oil after someone posted their sexting onto a forum.

recently the owner of a revenge porn website was sentenced to 18years in prison for identity theft and extortion... which means there's at least some kind of justice starting to happen

i wouldn't do it someone who trusted me enough to get their kit off. it's morally corrupt. kinda rapey really imho.
but stuff happens, photographers you worked with decide that tfp isn't working for them and your brief stint in fetish photography turns into a fight with pornhub... some spunk trumpet steals your images from a well known fetish social media and sticks them on tumblr ... that kinda stuff

so, if you suspect your images are "out there"

~ reverse image search. if there are thumbnails, try finding the original image[s] and that should lead you to the hosting site

~ file a dmca notice for takedown and once it's removed from the hosting site, it should disappear from all the others.
if you can't find the hosting site, you'll need to file a notice for each website displaying the photo[s]

~ you don't need to be a professional photographer to file a notice, the image[s] don't have to be watermarked etc

~ google needs an individual notice because thumbnails aren't always removed, even when they've disappeared from the hosting site  

that's just my two cents worth

@ Eamon, it's a site or sites where people post illicit or illegal pictures of their ex's, co-workers, etc, etc, pretty much anyone they basically have an issue with that they can get naked pictures of. Last time I check snuff films involved sex and death in the same scene, hence the snuffing it part (and there is speculation as to whether legit snuff films actually exist - it disturbs me that I've looked into this lol). Revenge porn isn't on that kind of level, though they're both seriously fucked up.

@Katja, I think the issue here is that a lot of women (because it is predominantly women having their pictures/vids posted) trust their partners at the time, and when things go to hell, they assume that the person they were with has enough respect for them to not even consider posting pictures of them on the internet. As for fetish/porn photography that the muse never gets paid for, I'm not sure that's considered revenge porn. A lot of artists, inside and outside the erotic arts don't get paid for their work by people who are happy to rip them off.

The way I see it, if you don't want naked pictures of you out there, either a) don't take naked pics of yourself, and b) don't let other people take naked pictures of you. In the cases of getting illegally filmed or photographed, that's unfortunately not something the victim can control.

the latter was referring to the recent "meatlist"... profile url and information  being compiled and published online [because said spunk trumpet's advances kept being spurned by the women he sent terrible copy pasta smut to] out of nothing but spite

that's vengeful, if ya ask me

yes, one shouldn't post anything online if you don't want to run the risk of it floating around the interwebs. that being said, it sounds too much like victim shaming/blaming and twists my balls the wrong way, especially in a community that preaches transparency and consent

i know the risks when i post something compromising. i also know i've consented to the image being on x website... however, that's where the consent ends.
i didn't consent to being placed on a list like a piece of steak. i didn't consent to be part of trilema's money making scheme because he's a spoiled padawan trying to protest a search function in a despicable way and neither did the thousands of other women under thirty who now fill the four volumes  

anyhow, i shall shut up now or i'll be on about it for days

I wasn't aware of the "meatlist" thing going on. Vengeance for rejected advances is low.

I'm not victim blaming or shaming. It's never their fault. When people share intimate photography it's rarely meant for public viewing.

I'm not so much talking about women posting intimate pictures on a website. I'm talking about private emails and text messages. Not that creeps stealing images from social media or websites is any better.

I know what I am about to say is probably going to come out wrong. As a victim of real world predators, I know how violence against women is never the woman's fault. Sexual harassment, abuse, rape... all that, is about power. Revenge porn is no different. In an ideal world women should be able to feel safe from these kinds of power plays. When you put your trust in someone you don't expect them to betray it. Sometimes it gets betrayed and that's never the fault of the person who becomes the victim. I guess where I am going with this, is experience has taught me to be cautious, overly so. Consent should be a given, but it isn't always, and not everyone you meet is going to respect your personal boundaries or rights.

And here was I thinking it was porn you indulged in after being dumped or your partner/ boyfriend/girlfriend/ significant other failing you in some way.

Though thinking about (not in that way) it seems rather counter-intuitive. This revenge porn as Indie described it is not exactly going to get the proverbial 'you' into 'their' good books. I mean sure, they might feel some shame, hurt and betrayal, but they sure as heck aren't going to run back into your arms. (Though one that finds revenge porn a turn on is definitely a keeper for some sod, and isn't exactly in the main spirit of the thing, so its hardly harming them and as such is not really revenge.)

I can understand obsession and stalking and that whole area of possession and wanting, but revenge porn makes little sense. Its shooting yourself in the foot. That porn is then widely available but the special interconnection and dual relationship is shattered.

It seems like something that could have been done earlier in a better time. By that I mean not literally revenge porn, but the whole theme of sharing media of your other, except without specific information, just to show the world what there is but it cannot have.

Revenge porn is done by the savage prawn [only barbaric scum].

No matter how much I cared for or trusted a partner there's no way I'd do naked shots, or film us having sex...it would just shatter the illusion I have on how good I look..knowing full well I don't....but hey, let me be deluded....

Seriously though, the bottom line is when there's a breakup one or the other MAY become revengeful...and what better way to get back at someone, to hurt that person you once loved or cared for, than to post nude photos etc on line to be distributed worldwide and more than likely to have crude and disrespectful comments made with the photos...people like to laugh at others expense...and it can be cruel....like the American comedian who made fun of another American comedian because she was fat, one armed and smelt....the thing is he named her...his attempt at humour just showed how immature he is and how low he'd go for a laugh... Come to think of it he'd probably be a guy who would post revenge porn...

Why do we take such photos etc...are we wanting the other person to see what they're missing, something to look at while you masturbate? Do you look at porn and think 'shit, I can do that and so much better....'  Where does one's mind go when they decide to take nude photos or make a video?  I remember when I bought my first car I wanted to get a personalised number plate that said '69'...
I was talked out of it and I'm glad I was....

I have on my computer some photos send to me by a guy...I was upfront and said not to expect any from me and he was fine with that...I quite enjoyed receiving his photos and I'll admit I looked at them so much they became embedded in my mind...he's no longer in my life but he lives on in his photos...one day I'll delete them but I will never, ever show them to anyone else..ever...

The internet is an entity unto itself. Even in a court of law judges aren't sure what do with certain internet cases, and law enforcement? It's a joke. There are less rules on the web, less boundaries and more anonymity, with less chance of getting caught, if you know how to get around. And it's easier to hide than you think, if you have the right tools. It creates a dangerous world that most of us don't think about because we often assume the same irl rules apply. Sadly in many many cases they don't.

Reddit just recently banned revenge porn, after [ finally ] having put an end to subreddits dedicated to hacked  I-phone photos.

Twitter is considering banning porn altogether due to concerned sponsors not wanting to be associated with it.

I frequent several adult webmaster boards where the general consensus is that Revenge Porn is fucked up.

Absolutely not. I have nude pics of a few of my ex's. If I wanted to get revenge on them for breaking my heart, I would have. Besides, they have nude shots of me too, so I know if I ever posted theirs, chances are they would post mine. Not sure if they or I would ever find out unless someone told me or them if we did do it, but then where is the revenge if they don't? I'm not the type to do it anyway and knowing that ip addresses are traceable and I would probably go to jail and get raped by big bubba and his gang bang buddies in our cozy prison cell, i'm not about to take the chance. Maybe the best revenge i could get with their naked pics would be to tell them I use them as masturbation material. Not sure if that would even bother those cheating whores or not, lololilolol...

I don't like this one bit. I'm rebuking the sin. Don't fully understand it though not sure I wanna. Carry on.

I see revenge porn as perverse, in that pictures taken in LOVE (during happy times in a relationship, when one was happy to be naked with another in intimacy, when they were never expected to be broadcast) are being used in HATE when the relationship is dead and should be moved on from. Do those who post pics in revenge think it will bring a partner back to themselves?

Hmmm, isn't the best revenge porn the one that is not porn of another but of the self. Showing the world and the ex what they are missing and how they can lust and want to hit that but cant now. That said it kinda only works for the physically adept and the narcissistic.

Thats an invasion of privacy like if you trust someone with your body you would atleast expect them to show some respect. I could never be able to date someone who's ever done this or thought of doing iy.
