Sir Ted's blog post - "Hidden cam" and "revenge" pics

Normally, I use this space to do semi-philosophical riffs on erotica, photography, etc., but at the moment, I'm a bit too pissed to be abstract and highfalutin'.

Is there anything *less* erotic than photos appearing on a site like this that are put there for the sole sake of humiliating and embarrassing the subject? Putting up photos of exgirlfriends, exwives, or just women a guy doesn't like (and it seems to be men doing this to women, although it would be just as sickening the other way around) without their knowledge is putrid. It's also pathetic. It announces, with full confidence, that the person posting them is limp-dicked little twit.

Even if you threw out the obvious moral and legal issues, the fact remains that these pictures aren't even erotic! There's nothing remotely arousing about them. They just reinforce the idea that sexuality is something that is inherently humiliating and/or violent, and we've got enough of those attitudes around without supposedly sex-positive sites like NN enabling such crap.

I won't name names here, but I have had to hit the "alert moderator" button a number of times. It's clear that others have already done so on a number of the photos in question, yet still the photos remain up and the cretins publishing them apparently continue to be members in good standing of NN.

This needs to stop.
