A design flaw it only becomes due to people’s violent acts. If the goal is safety, we should spend more time helping people process their shit and less on raising shields. They only make people more angry. Everybody draws the line differently, but pushing your data on somebody else’s device without their consent is an intrusion, and as such I consider it to be an act of violence. We need to grow up and understand how to break cycles of violence, not push it further towards mutual destruction.
- lazide 4mo agoUnsolicited Dirty pictures via a protocol which is easy to disable (and rarely used anyway) vs getting punched in the face or shanked? Really?
- limagnolia 4mo agoI don't think it was presented as an "vs". Both can be a form of violence, even if one is much worse than the other.
- lazide 4mo agoGrouping them together is the absurd part. The unsolicited dick pic is gross, but not even in the same category as the other stuff.
- tekknik 4mo agoAnd if the person has been traumatized by “dick pics” in the past and seeing one causes further distress, then what? why are you defending unsolicited nude images so hard and who gave you the right to speak for everybody?
- lazide 4mo agoI take it you’ve never been punched in the face before? No matter how hard someone has been traumatized by unsolicited dick pics, I guarantee they’ll be traumatized in an entirely different way by the same amount of unsolicited punches to the face. Speaking from experience on both fronts. You can have more than one category for shitty criminal behavior you know.
- 47282847 4mo agoWhy the “vs”?! All three acts are acts of violence. We can order them by our own judgment of intensity, but they’re still all violent. And as such also expressions of pain/hurt, which will lead to further expressions until it is finally seen and addressed. We all know this, but still act like we don’t.
- pc86 4mo agoNo - someone dropping a picture to your phone when you have the ability enabled is not violence by any definition used by people with functioning frontal cortexes. Maybe it's good to remove the "Everybody" option, maybe it's not. Maybe it's good to make it auto-disable after 10 minutes, maybe it's not. Irrelevant. But absolutely nothing will make a photo popping onto your phone a violent act.
- anigbrowl 4mo agoViolence, violations and other similar words have the same root, meaning to pursue, to suppress, to overpower. Quibbling over exactly where the boundary lines are drawn misses the larger point about unwanted incursions upon your person, whether physical or psychic.
- pc86 4mo agoReferring to someone airdropping an image over a protocol you specifically opened up as "psychic violence" is even worse than referring to it as simply "violence." Words mean things. I know it's popular to pretend they don't and anything can be anything as long as we say it long enough and loud enough, but that's simply not true.
- alterom 4mo agoSomeone walks up to you and stuffs an ad for local prostitutes into your shirt pocket before you react. Don't like it? Should've worn a T-shirt. Your wife founds another one in your back pocket later that day, and has questions. What, you practically asked for it. Should've zippered that pocket. An open pocket is practically an invitation for everyone to put their stuff into it.
