In reply to the discussion: Are you victim blaming when you encourage people not to take nude selfies? [View all]tazkcmo
(7,419 posts)It's not about whether one does or does not take a nude selfie. It's about advising someone about transmitting said selfie over the internet or even just having the device hooked up to the internet. The advice given, and I agree, is it's not a good idea because there are d*ck heads out there that will publish them on the internet for everyone to see if they can. This is advice I would give my children, siblings, parents and friends and while we're at it, to you also.
I would add that if you have this burning desire to do so, I recommend a REAL picture like a polaroid type (no developing needed) hand delivered and any negatives/other existing evidence destroyed. To do it electronically is very risky.
No where have I disparaged the act of the selfie, nude or other wise. I have never said anything negative about the act of taking nude pictures of consenting adults be that another person or yourself, in my life.
Don't talk to strangers, if you play with fire you might get burned, look both ways before you cross the street, don't flash your cash. All pieces of advice of given my children. If this is blaming my children for getting abducted, receiving a 3rd degree burn, getting run over or mugged then so be it.
