It’s allowed to go parachuting, but when you go parachuting we teach you that it is dangerous and that sometimes people die or get hurt. It’s not necessarily their fault that they got hurt, but at the end of the day the result is the same. If the risks aren’t acceptable to you then of you know of them, you can decide to not take the risks and not go parachuting.
In an ideal world, nobody would get hurt, your chute would work every time, and you would always land perfectly. But in the real world, people do get hurt and while we can and do strive to make safer and safer parachutes, getting on that plane still means that there are risks.
This doesn’t mean that the people getting hurt are to blame for going parachuting. It’s a fun activity that is usually safe, but if you don’t want to get hurt then don’t do the activity that puts you in danger.
This also doesn’t mean that if someone were to push you off the plane, that person didn’t have your blood on their hands. In the case of nudes leaking there is always a perpetrator who ought to be held accountable, it doesn’t just “happen”. But the internet is a big plane with insane people, and getting on such a plane is a risk you take, and if it were a real plane we would similarly say “do not fly on this plane unless you’re absolutely certain you have everything on lock, because it is extremely dangerous”
Agreed. Sharing nudes is risky, and something people should consider wisely.
I just don’t agree with the weird victim blaming that is going on here and the idea that if a woman shares her photos then she shouldn’t expect any privacy.
I think you’re buying too much of the self-righteous asshole’s perspective. He’s the only one dismissing it. Normal people dismiss bad stuff in this EXECT SAME way. It’s the same as the people who respond to news of a rape with, “what was she wearing?”
The comic is explicitly showing that the attitude is wrong even when applied to lesser things like nudes leaking.
No, but they should understand the risks.

It’s definitely the same for people who aren’t women. But the author decided to go with what they did.
