    You know i have trouble thinking this isnt a planned leak for publicity.

    Who takes naked selfies of yourself on your own phone? 'hacked pictures from <actresses boyfriends phone>' seems so much more believable. especially the photos in question which sure as hell look professionally done.

    It's kinda late in the century to pretend you dont know these things can get hacked anyway.

    There were a couple dozen celebrities hit at once. Also it was leaked onto 4chan first and I don't really think that's a big target demographic for PR firms.

    it's kind of amazing that you're admitting to going and looking at those stolen private photos in the first place, never mind that you think they look "professionally done"

    Yes yes. A group of actresses got together for brunch and this idea came about after too many mimosas.

    "If we do it as a group no one will catch on to our fiendish plan!"

    its kinda hard to read an article about this without seeing at least a censored version of the photos in question. i'm not blind and i know most cell cameras arent that good.

    wow, this is actually more fucked up and ignorant than your post on the Ferguson protests, which was at the time accurately described as "one of the most ignorant posts I've read on Penny Arcade in a while"

    Okay, let's consider this completely irrational thought based on no other evidence than "i don't think cell phone cameras are very good" for a second. What possible gain would any of these women receive for leaking these photos? I mean, we could ask Vanessa Hudgens, who was publically shamed by the Disney Channel for someone stealing her privately shot pictures and plastering them all over the internet. We could ask Jeanette McCurdy, who basically got barred from Nickelodeon events and essentially got her show canceled over photos of her where she wasn't even nude. The publicity from these events has done wonders for their careers!

    We should also consider the logistics of a hundred actresses banding together to release these "professionally shot" photographs to some shithead on 4chan or reddit or whatever so he could sell them for bitcoins. When did they engineer this meeting? Was it just their managers who were involved? Why do some of the actresses involved confirm it was them, and why do others claim the shots to be entirely fake? Why would they all agree to do it at the same time if publicity is the goal? Why are you making an insane argument that makes literally zero sense?

    Besides, the quality of photos has more to do with the photographer than the camera. I watched a video of some photographers comparing iphone pics to those from some 20k camera, and with a decent setup the two are pretty comparable. Expensive cameras are just better at handling poor conditions.

    I'll save everyone some trouble - it's much easier just to come by and look in my windows if you want an eyeful. I've never really believed in closing curtains.

    and I don't usually spend much time in front of my computer with my clothes off anyway. Actually who the hell - oh wait this is a porn thing isn't it.

    Like, the Academics are trying really hard to portray the Orphics as monstrous black magic using oppressors in their history, but so far they've failed to drum up any sympathy for their cause, and mostly have just made me doubt the honesty of their history. Basically the whole situation reeks of the "we were oppressed by this other group, the only right thing to do now that we're in power is oppress the hell out of them now that the situation is reversed"

    Yeah, everything we've seen of modern-day Orphics suggests they're basically second-class citizens that are denied jobs and forced into crime, etc.

    What makes you say that? To me it seems like they are just forced into practicing their magic in secret.

    It's a good thing to do, though not because of NSA. There's a thing called clickjacking where something creates an invisible window asking you if you want to turn on your webcam and let someone watch through it. You don't know it's there and you don't know you clicked something most of the time. You just think your mouse might be acting up and missed the click.

    Really isn't as simple as saying "Well if they see me naked then good for them," either. Ask yourself how much stuff you keep on your desk and if any of it can be used to hurt you or your identity. Credit cards, bank statements, SS numbers, etc.
