  I have this crazy strategy that has been working so far: I don’t take any nudes.

    Did you read the article at all? They’re faked, but that’s still enough to cause harm.

      If they’re fake, then I won’t care. But of course, like it was said elsewhere, I live in a place where nude pictures are, at most, an embarrassment and not a threat to my life or physical wellbeing.

        You won't care, but your employer might, to the point where they fire you. Your partner might, to the point where they leave you. Your overbearing family members might, to the point where they put out an 'honour killing' hit on you, or do the deed themselves.

    Add 'dont use your computer or phone while naked' to the list. Spyware riddled machines with webcams can also be how these nudes come about.

      Alternatively, if somebody threatens you with nudes, release your own! Nobody’s going to blackmail you, if you’re a nudist! Jeff bezos energy

  My mum Well she’d know how my transition is going.

  My employer Doesn’t seem professional for my employer to be looking at such things. Shame on them.

  My kids I don’t have kids but if they were underage then that’s a mail-ordered crate of ACME-brand Yikes bad ideas.

  (I want to be clear that, even if I am a Dingus, I’m only one who is shitposting.)
