I can already get a canvas and brush and draw what I think u/DessertStorms looks like naked and there is nothing you can do about it.
The lack of empathy in your response is telling. People do not care for the effect this has on teenage girls. They don't even try to be compassionate. I think this will just become the next thing girls and women will simply have to accept as part of their life and the sexism and objectification that is targeted at them. But "boys will be boys" right?
The number of people offering practical solutions instead of knee jerk feels... oh the humanity!
Demanding people to just accept that this will happen and they just shouldn't feel bad about it is not a practical solution.
Why?
Because this is not a solution for the people who are actually victimized. It's just a solution for the people around those who are victimzed, so that they don't need to change anything or talk (or listen) about it.
Beats clinging to a victim mentality imo.
A "victim mentality" is a personality trait which makes people feel universally victimized.
How is that applyable here? These kids were targeted for a crime and, in fact, victimized by their peers or possibly even adults.
What would actually beat leaving people alone who were blackmailed and had their privacy and dignity compromised like that, would be hefty punishment for the perpetrators. Those are the people you should look at with scrutinity, instead of concentrating on how the victims should behave.
That would in no way helps the victims tho.
Actually it does. For example by showing that people care and do not just let the behaviour slide as "boys will be boys".
You're not making the point you think you are, instead you're just outing yourself as a creep. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, you dropped this \
