    And back on topic. Yeah. Popcorn. I love internet meltdowns, but I always wince at the same for since I know there's always real people caught up in the backlash.

    "This all stems from a sub reddit of creeps who take creepy photos of women and post them online (without their consent). This quite rightly alarmed some people and pissed other people off."


    Oh what the fuck, that is weird.

    I will say that in my opinion, these cases of kids being cyber bullied are probably just part of the process of adapting to a new social landscape and down the road there'll just be a different problem kids will have to deal with that they didn't face before. I'm certainly not defending the crap, but I think it's easy to lose perspective and forget some of the awful shit that kids went through in other generations.

    there was a post i saw yesterday that i can't find now which was basically

    'if you don't expect us to have any privacy re: having our pictures taken without our consent in public, to be used sexually

    then don't expect to have any privacy online when you post those pictures and we trace you.'

    There 's a picture of Stewie from family guy. He has a gun in his mouth.

    The caption is "I'm out"

    I'm not the biggest fan of memes but if I wasn't at work, I'd be posting that picture now.

    I suppose now that I have two neices I have to worry about this shit.

    There's a pretty high chance that I would track down any shitbags like this and utterly crush them but I hope laws and schools(ha!) will adapt in the next decade and teach kids some responsibility so it can be prevented entirely.

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    I'm not sure I trust these internet detectives to really do a proper job of investigating or making sure they got the right guy before they start posting information online.

    well yeah thats a pretty huge problem

    Yeah I'm not really sure "an eye for an eye" has ever been a good end game, even though on a primal level it can be very satisfying to contemplate.

    I would honestly hire a professional if my endgame was legitimately outing these people and then only for proper legal action.

    That said if they get mad when people use their own bullshit against them Im not going to have any pity for them.

    This more and more seems like it could be someone's attempt at writing a hackneyed plot for some Criminal Minds episode. Bleh.

    Yeah, thanks for suggesting that I was asserting that the two acts are trivial in how bad they are instead of, say, simply comparing how immature it is to do something to someone and them blame them for it while taunting them.

    The thing is, how do the mods on reddit not think the whole idea of taking photo's of women without their consent and publishing it on the internet isn't a massively bad idea.

    What I'm saying is that they need a CT style of mod.

    Posting photos of other people without their consent on a website millions view sounded like a huge bluff too, and then they actually did it.

    Basically, I would no longer put anything past them.

    The admins of reddit use the excuse of free speech to avoid doing any moderation at all of the subreddits, which means the people who make them have complete control and freedom to be shitbags until they get enough negative publicity.

    To my understanding, its taking a photo of an unsuspecting girl and then posting it on the internet without her consent.

    Yeah, I really appreciate the iron fist moderation here, compared to other forums I browse where mods are terrified of doing anything other than giving warnings, not even infractions.

    Also that Amanda Todd story is the saddest thing I've read all week :(
