    James, you do realize that Freud has been largely discredited, right? And that your line of thinking, however well-intentioned, is usually used to justify rape? Just checking.

    This. Can't be repeated enough.

    From The Psychological Significance of the Blush (2013):
    But this all seems rather off-topic. (How repressive! [face_blush])

    I'm not sure describing human sexual response as "barbaric" is a good argument.

    This war between civilisation and barbarianism results in a deep shade of crimson in the facial epidermis.

    Too busy downloading the hacked photos of many female celebrities. They deserve it for trusting Apple.

    I'm guessing dp liked the post because he thought you were actually downloading them and he wasn't alone.

    Nope. Some of the internet commentary has been very rape-y in that "these girls deserved it" solely because a) they ever took nude pictures of themselves to share with a sexual partner / significant other or b) trusted technology.

    But... thank you?

    i remember the first time i played super mario bros. 3 and there was that level in the bowser world with the ships firing cannonballs everywhere. and there was one part where one pipe was shooting out huge cannonballs back towards the ship behind it and the ship behind was shooting huge cannonballs at the ship in front of it. and i thought what kind of incompetent boob has his ships firing at each other? this bowser, i guess.

    A few quotes off the radio from the day concerning the iCloud thingy as accurate as I can recall:

    "Maybe they should not have taken the pics to begin with."

    "People should be able to take a pic of whatever without some ass breaking in and stealing it."

    "I don't condone it but I'll look if they get out."

    "I didn't hack their accounts so why should I be the bad guy if I see their pics?"

    "How about we all ignore any leaked pics so it all goes away?"

    "Lawrence is like a hot gamer girl."

    "10 years in prison for the guy who leaked nudes of ScarJo is a bit much isn't it?"

    "Why do people need to see these? They all have boobs and vaginas."

    "It's ok for the NSA to do it but a few leaked pictures of celebs and the world goes bonkers."

    "We should just unplug and start over."

    I frankly don't understand who is sharing nude photos of themselves. The entire thing is a bit beyond me I'm afraid.

    EDIT: You've totally look at them/for them, haven't you Monite? Come on. You have. Come on. Admit it.

    Apparently, the leaked nude pics of Mckayla Maroney were of her when she was underage.

    Oh boy, there's going to be trouble now.....

    Yes whilst legally the landscape shifts somewhat around the above, I don't think it makes what amounts to in my view a sex crime any less sex crime-y in nature.
