No one realized the antenna thing is standing up while he's looking at those hacked celebrity pictures?

That's a weird place for an antenna...

I was more curious about the clone tool usage on the bottom left.

This is utterly despicable.

I really feel for them too. It's like people disengage that part of the brain that says "Hey, this is a real life person. This person has feelings and emotions. This photo was meant for this person's partner and their own pleasure". But since it's a celebrity it's all "fuck them, they're rich and I'm not! They're beautiful and I'm not! People pay too much attention to them! The only logical recourse I have is to wank to these pictures".

An incredibly accurate contradiction. Well done.

Edit: Damnit, my poor inbox. If you have any objection to this small quip, please check the responses to it already. I've responded the same way to multiple people, so please see if what you intend to respond with hasn't already been posted.

You guys are acting like there's only two people on reddit.

Reddit's an interesting group. Everybody seems to believe that they are some special snowflake that stands alone opposing the reddit hivemind.

People only care about rights when it theirs being infringed on.

So was this a cloud storage hack or what? Is somebody cleverly trying to get celebrities pissed off about data privacy so we all follow suit?

This is fucking disgusting. I don't understand how people can be turned on by this when it's clear that the women had no consent in this. \

For people who are saying they should have been more careful about it. Sometimes your pictures accidentally get auto synced. I know celebrities released statements saying they had long deleted some of those pictures so they don't know how they got leaked.

I hope the hackers go to jail for this. What a bunch of assholes.

The guy who hacked Scarlett Johansson's phone got 10 years. So if they catch this guy (given the scope of what he did) I don't think he'll get off lightly.

Can I get some context here? I feel like I missed something.

Edit: downvotes, okay. I'm a big asshole for being a straight woman who doesn't have the first hand look at leaked actress nudes.

Less and less shitty as time goes on.

But yeah, people aren't drawing a distinction between INSTITUTIONALIZED AND LEGALLY INSULATED ROUTINE ORGANIZED PRIVACY VIOLATION and some random fucker unilaterally taking it upon themselves to ruin someone's day running the risk of getting caught and having their lives fucked up right back.

Is there really no difference at all?

u/ColdChemical Sep 01 '14

It's hypocritical to demand privacy while simultaneously actively engaging in the violation of another's privacy (in this case through dissemination of nudes).

Reddit isn't a hivemind. Not everyone on reddit is angry at the NSA and not everyone on reddit is going nuts at the leaks.

No, not everyone on reddit is a bad person. But the fact that people are collectively distributing and upvoting this content, and the admins are doing jackshit about this is utterly disgusting.

u/______trap_god______ Sep 01 '14

I feel like even those criticizing reddit during this whole ordeal have looked at them.

u/FrankieDF Sep 01 '14

I think the problem here isn't so much looking at them, as it is the massive effort to spread them around and post them as much as possible.

With due respect check top for the day. Leaked photos rank fairly lowly at the moment

Also:

Reddit: Fight against SOPA!

turns out reddit admins can read PMs and have been banning people for talking about certain events or simultaneously browsing certain websites
