They're faked, but that's still enough to cause harm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] elbarto777@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 520@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) You won't care, but your employer might, to the point where they fire you. Your partner might, to the point where they leave you. Your overbearing family members might, to the point where they put out an 'honour killing' hit on you, or do the deed themselves. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] puppy@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) He/she already said it. It is not a problem in the country/society he lives in. "Just an embarrassment", they said. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 520@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Like I just pointed out, 'something embarrassing' can have much dire consequences when put in the wrong hands. It only has to go to someone with no chill and they will make the problems. The place they live in might be chill, but that doesn't mean there will be zero consequences. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] puppy@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) I live in a place where nude pictures are, at most, an embarrassment What part of above sentence don't you understand? If their society (neighbours, employers, friends and family etc.) doesn't care about nudity, what kind of dire consequences can you have in the wrong hands? If they were photoshopped into doing something illegal, it's not something that can be avoided at all. So you "caring" doesn't work either. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 520@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* It only has to go to someone with no chill and they will make the problems. What part of the above sentence don't you understand? If their society (neighbours, employers, friends and family etc.) doesn’t care about nudity, what kind of dire consequences can you have in the wrong hands? The problem there is that you are assuming that literally everyone in their lives is chill with this kind of thing. Maybe that is true if you spend your entire life in one particular bubble that happens to accept nudity, but that is true of basically no one. There is always at least one prude that would try to raise hell in the name of Christianity or some other such religion or other shit. permalink fedilink source parent
