The Internet Is a Public Place, Men Are Pigs Dept. 1

This time, it involves students at Emmaus High School (Emmaus, Pennsylvania–ed.) and a specific website, a photo-image board packed with pornographic images of young women from all across the country.

Apparently, there were several young ladies from EHS texted naked photos to their boyfriends. The boyfriends then posted those photos on the internet without their girlfriends’ consent.

The story quotes a sophomore girl as saying, most wisely,

“I think a lot of the girls are really upset about it and wished they didn’t do it, but in my opinion, it’s like their own fault for sending the pictures to people, if they didn’t want them out, they shouldn’t send them in the first place,” sophomore Emily Sowers said.

Sure, the boys involved acted like scum.

This surprises you how? They are teen-aged boys, a demographic not renowned for good judgment. (Nor, for that matter, are teen-aged girls, or this would not have happened.)

    I used to buy guitars, amplifiers and some records at shops in Emmaus! Or as the Pennsy Dutch locals spelled it, Emaus.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
