Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage
flora_explora@beehaw.org 13 hours agoWhat the actual fuck? This is victim blaming! Instead of focusing on the responsibility of the perpetrators you keep focusing on the victims. It obviously is a bad idea to have cameras in places like a gynecologist clinic. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to abuse the footage. And even if you want to focus on why there were cameras in a gynecologist clinic, how can you first blame the victims instead of actually talking about the people who put the cameras there??

what the actual fuck, no, it is not. the victim status does not absolve you of a responsibility. if you get mugged going through a sketchy neighborhood, that does not make it ok for a robber, but it is a valid question whether it was really good idea for you to go there.
it obviously is, but no one seemed to mind, otherwise someone would go to complain about it.
there is one person who got stupid idea to put the camera there, and there is hundreds or maybe thousands of patients who could have stopped them by telling them they lost their mind and/or going to complain to authorities, and instead they shrugged their shoulders and did nothing.
we are responsible for the world around us. if we just shrug our shoulders when it is not going the way we like it, we can’t be surprised when it is going the other way. sometimes it is not easy, sometimes it is relatively easy and this is the later.

This is classical victim blaming! Same like when people ask women what they were wearing when they experience sexualized violence. It shouldn’t matter!
You don’t know anything about the context or what patients have said and done in this clinic. You just assume everyone was OK with it.

it shouldn’t matter, but it does. shouting about it on the internet does not change that. and it is not even about sex. if i go to some sketchy neighborhood with 20k$ camera around my neck, i am asking for a trouble, and it is smart thing to think about it beforehand and adapt. whether it should or shouldn’t matter does not matter (pun intended).
it is like a pedestrian walking in front of a speeding car, getting hit by it and then complaining “they were in the right”. how does it matter, when you are still the one being hit by a car?
