I am not victim blaming here. She didn't invite this leak to happen by doing so, but I feel she did expose herself without thinking of the possible consequences. It is a simple thing not to take pictures of yourself and then send them over a network to a phone that could possibly be stolen. Especially considering she's a celebrity and in the United States there is an unhealthy obsession with them in my opinion generally. You can't do things like this as a public figure if only to avoid possibly incriminating yourself.
I close with the following points:
1. She did not invite this invasion of privacy by taking these photographs. No one(save certain situations) has the right to do this kind of thing.
2. I am not blaming her for what happened to her. The one responsible is the asshole that got a hold of them.
3. I am NOT condoning the actions of said asshole.
4. And to all those that downloaded said pictures and use "Well she shouldn't have taken them in the first place.", fuck off that's not the point of the argument to justify your invasion of a woman's privacy.
I do not condone this turn of events and do not blame her for them. I simply feel that if she should not have taken compromising pictures of herself in the first place.
EDIT: In light of EVERYONE saying I am victim blaming, I have changed the title of the topic to more accurately reflect my view on the matter.
Yes, it was prudent as we have no idea the reason as to why she did it. Nor should we be privy to that. So I think it's safe to assume that she acts with agency one can expect one to utilize in the process of actions. I also think it's safe to say that you are a troll for this trollish post. There is no possible situation that could have come from this post that would lead to this post being worthwhile in any sense of the word.
This isn't a troll post, I just think it was pretty reckless to take pictures of yourself nude, regardless of who you are and upload them from your phone to the "cloud". It's not very prudent to huff paint but people do it anyway for the high, it's not prudent to drive way faster than the speed limit but people do it to get places quicker/for the high, it's not very prudent to eat really spicy food, but do it anyway for the flavor. Point I'm making, even if you CAN do something, doesn't mean you should do it. Taking nude photos of yourself, regardless of medium, is risky as there is always the chance of someone not meant to, finding them. Putting them out digitally in any form, doubly so.
I never said she wasn't allowed to take the photos, why does everyone keep inserting that into their rebuttal?
There is literally nowhere else to go with this! You aren't making posts about spicy foods or paint huffers,and you don't because it's a meaningless post with nothing to it. You are making a post about putting the blame on a victim. You couldn't make a post about how Travon Martin shouldn't have taken pictures of himself with pot without being blamed for your racism. There isn't anywhere else to go with what we are given. It's a non-issue, her taking nude photos, she is allowed, end of story. She should just assume they will be stolen and therefore be able to know "right" from "wrong" and not take them, that is what you are implying. That logic doesn't fly, the pictures were stolen, she locked her "house" she didn't just leave them lying around. Prudency is just a filter, we have to assume you are using this to filter your intentions. You haven't convinced me at all btw.
I am so tired of this going to victim blaming, I'm not saying she's at fault they were stolen. However, she made a mistake in doing what she did.
You can't do that! Mistake is a judgement, you are judging her for being a victim in this. You are saying that she should have displayed the foresight to allow herself to not get caught up in this. Something she couldn't have done. There is inherent risk in everything. Should she also change behind locked doors in windowless rooms for her life so that nobody can spy on her?
THIS GETS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE OF THE JUDGEMENT.
So stop! You don't get to ask this after this scandal, IT IS AT IT'S MOST BASE LEVEL, BLAMING THE VICTIM. You are only asking because you see the story in the news, you are judging her, you make this post to convey YOUR judgement! There is no innocent, non-biased question to ask here! That position DOES NOT EXIST. YOU ARE CALLING HER STUPID FOR BEING HACKED. Prudent means to act with thought to the future, to be wise and smart and you are saying she wasn't those things.
MAYBE THERE IS MORE TO THIS FOR YOU THAN YOU THINK THERE IS.
