/r/creepshots was almost exclusively photos of women, very few of whom were obviously underage, in public places.
The extent to which these photos were "sexually suggestive" was largely in control of the women concerned. If you're going to wear low-cut tops, yoga pants, etc. then a photo of yourself taken in public may be interpreted as sexually suggestive.
Contributors to the subreddit were just posting things they had seen in public. What's wrong with that?
- tptacek 14y agoYou realize that this argument about the implied consent to sexualize someone based on their attire is extremely fraught, right?
- aes256 14y agoSince when did people need consent to post pictures they took, legally, of people in public, where these people have no expectation of privacy, then post them on the Internet with words to the effect of "I find this person physically attractive, I would like to have sexual relations with this person"? I can sexualize whatever I like, thank you very much.
- rmc 14y agoWomen (or anyone really) do not give consent to be photographed for sexual purposes merely for wearing a certain type of clothing in public.
