Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage

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?

South Korea actually has a major problem with sexism and gender-based violence. Especially with men secretly filming women! It doesn’t seem unlikely that the filming of the gynecologist clinic was done in secret as well. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it actually gets punished.
There is also the larger context in which women experience daily sexism and violence. This fundamentally changes how they react to further violence. Victims of sexualized violence often think of themselves as responsible for the violence they receive, because society constantly tells them they are at fault! Victim blaming is part of society’s effort to tell women they are worthless and to keep control over them. If you solely focus on how the victims of this act of violence are at fault here, you are part of the problem.

i am not solely focusing on victims. you, on the other way, are bent to explain that you are not responsible for your risky behaviour, which makes YOU part of the problem. i hope you will never have to find out the hard way that real world can’t be tackled by shouting on the internet.
