This is men. No where in his pissbaby rant did he mention consent. “Do you think it’s wrong to send people pictures of yourself?” Yeah, if they haven’t asked for them. “Are porn stars creepy” No, they consented to those videos being distributed to the public. And the public isn’t being forced to watch them. The…

She consented by signing a contract that gives the photographer the rights to the images. A written and mutually agreed upon contract is as close to a gold standard of consent as you can get.

She’s actually been very outspoken about free the nipple and women having the right to display their body other own terms. The problem here is consent.

It’s highly unlikely that they entered into a contract where the photographer only owns five images, with the hundreds of unreleased images owned by the model. I’ve never heard of such a contract. From a legal standpoint, he doesn’t need her permission to release those images. The correct wording would thus be “being…

She seems to be saying that she signed off on only a small number of the original shots, and that he’s now using them for a purpose/context she never consented to. To me that seems wrong from both a legal and ethical standpoint, although my original comment was on the ethics of the situation, not the law per se.

It’s not about shame, it’s about control. If her body is the commodity, why is he the beneficiary of that commodity? That’s exploitation of the terms of her original consent for the profit of the photographer.

“Shall we say” - fucking pig. She was comfortable with her body. Period. “Shall we say” implies there was so much more when there was no more.

Just because he did something that isn’t illegal doesn’t mean he’s not an asshole.

She was very, shall we say, comfortable with her body and as far as shoots go, I would say it was fun.

I’m starting to think that this is the reason Trump said he wasn’t going after her today. They all probably made a deal bc I read the WH is against the recount. He leaves her alone, she lets it go, everyone wins except us.

Silver is 0/2 of late so he’s out. They need to do a recount starting in WI. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

IKR? What’s with all the Macedonian Troll gaslighting around here tonight? We must be getting close to lifting the rock they live under. It’s time we make the GOP prove they won fair and square and didn’t rig it. Apparently Karl Rove teaches a technique for rigging elections which is why he was SO STUNNED when Romney…

Not tales of, DEFINITELY hacked. Nobody ever pursued it. Like you said: best interests of the nation.

This issue is now getting international coverage, covered by the Guardian. Should we be hopeful?

I think if there is enough to order a recount and audit , it should be done as a precaution in any close election to reassure people the fairness of elections.

What those “you lost” people fail to realize is that they lost, too. There is so much denial, and I can see why people would be extra motivated to deny the full horror of a man they put in office. Because that would be admitting to a pretty crucial deficit in your own makeup.

It’s definitely less now but it is too little too late. I still see way more people saying stuff like “you lost, get over it” “calm down” stuff like that. At the end of the day there’s an overwhelmingly large amount of people whose morals boil down to “go along to get along”.

I couldn’t agree with you more. The Godwin’s law shut down was particularly frustrating. It made it seem like the rise of someone like hitler could never happens again and therefore any comparison was ridiculous. People are still doing this.

That is so frigging true. Just because he’s wearing an ill-fitting suit and not a pair of shiny jackboots doesn’t mean he’s not a goddamn Nazi.

It sure got everyone’s attention, which I believe was precisely the point.
