Comment on Inside the deadly instant loan app scam that blackmails with nudes
Lemongrab@lemmy.one 8 months agoI can ruin your reputation or be used in conjuction with other social engineering techniques to eicit fear. It is also very intimate and personal, and shows a private side of your person that may not be intended for others. Examples of threats could be sending them to in-laws, emoyeers, your whole office, the school were your kids attend. Even without any really intention of distributing it, the threat is enough.

Sounds like we just need a Share Your Nudes Week to help destigmatize a very ordinary part of modern life.

While i agree in the idea of destigmatizing sex, consent (or lack there of) is a key part in why this is so traumatic, without even considering the negative and wrongfully directed anger often targeted at the victim by their community.

yeah having your bodily autonomy removed for any reason is a traumatic experience.

I agree. I call myself a closet naturist because I'm all for the human body just being a human body and not ridiculously hyper-sexualised. But I'm also a sexual abuse survivor and that same western hyper-sexualisation makes me very wary and anxious around people who are not also naturists.
I've been assaulted way too many times WITH clothes on to trust the general population who can't comprehend that a naked body =/= sex and an open invitation.

Remembering this from Community.
"It's Vietnam!" And he laughed. They had no idea what they were in for.
