Re-read RickyRigatoni’s comment.

Yes, but the perp showed the images to a minor.

You consider it a heinous crime to draw a picture and keep it to yourself?

I have no idea, I’m just trying to guess how a vegan meme could be interpreted politically.

Uh… I’ll try.

Society can’t be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

No.

If we could implement maturity and so on, ease of access to the tools would be a non-issue. And the tools would be as legal as crayons or pencils, and the “material” as legal as any cartoon. But I agree with you that this is a super real practical problem, because we can’t.

Did you post a meme about cow farts contributing to climate change or something?

We really don’t have any solution to this yet.

We do, and always have, but good luck with implementation. Humanity hates acting like an adult.

1. Critical thinking: society knows to a certainty deepfakes exist and hence should be intrinsically skeptical of any image they see, demanding the image’s source establish some reason to trust the image. We could be less blindly trusting.
2. Body acceptance: for 0 seconds of humanity’s history has it made credible sense to shame someone over having seen them naked. We could choose not to.
3. Competence: Appeasing these people only encourages them. If people would just understand that giving your blackmailer what they want is always strictly worse than not doing so, it would remove the incentive to blackmail. Why would you trust your blackmailer to keep your secret? Makes no sense.

This is Lemmy, we don’t do “informed”. Count yourself lucky if anyone in the comments even read the thread’s post.

Basically yes.

Bear in mind Lemmy is an overall very leftist platform. Claiming an outside observer can tell a man from a woman is going to attract downvotes, let alone going on to list alleged specific differences.

Note to readers, because I am used to Lemmy: Anyone assuming I agree or disagree with any given take on gender differences can fuck off. My actual post conveys no opinion on them.

“African American Vernacular English” sounds like an awfully racist term for it.

There was no security breach. Did you even read the summary, let alone the article? There wasn’t even an attempted breach.
