In reply to the discussion: How do you feel about publicly shaming private citizens who behaved badly? [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)I'm LGBT also. Someone could post pictures of me engaging in sex on my back deck with a lover and I'd probably comment that I needed my ends trimmed and deserved payment for the show.
And there are assholes out there who would happily make a video of me and a lover going at it, thinking they were shaming us, thinking it would be funny and entertaining to people, while thinking they were shaming me.
There's a lot of mean, stupid, ignorant people in this world.
Mean, stupid people who might mistakenly, or maliciously, publicly shame someone to great loss or commit suicide.
Is that worth your precious entertainment? If this man was just boasting, and was just making shit up to make himself look like a super stud to his bros, (and men actually do this) and ended up losing everything because of the public shaming, and committed suicide because of it, will you still feel the same?
Would you believe he deserved what he got?
I'm personally sick and tired of having my privacy invaded; from the workplace snooping thru my pee and the government listening to my phone calls to ignorant assholes posting shit that might have serious consequences on social media.
If someone is obviously committing a crime, go for it. Otherwise, mind your own fucking business.
