"The Fappening"

So apparently some people on Reddit have come up with a name for the celebrity nude scandal, which of course is named after the onomatopoeia for male masturbation. Oh, and there's an entire subreddit dedicated to it, too, proving once again that Reddit will allow a subreddit to exist for anything no matter how disgusting.

    Someone made the argument that all of this is superfluous since there are plenty of sites with passable nude shoops of celebrities. A cursory google search shows they even have GMILF stuff of the Queen of England, so that was good for a laugh.

    I'm personally kinda baffled at what did all those celebrities think. They had nude pics taken, and then... what exactly? They nicely asked the photographer to promise he's not gonna show them his friends, or what? I mean, if I couldn't refuse myself getting some nude pics, I'd at least keep them hidden in a place that would need some effort to get broken into. Unless I've been mistaken this whole time and 4chan somehow snuck cameras into all those people's bathrooms, in which case I take it back.

    From what I can tell, the leaks didn't come from whomever took the photos, if that's whta you're suggesting

    Nnnot exactly. More like, irresponsibility in general. Unless 4chan did an extensive data theft operation, those folks must've been rather blase about the safety of their supposedly sensitive data, and extensive data theft operation is something that I find a bit too professional for a bunch of script kiddies with too much free time.

    It probably wasn't 4chan who did it, but yes, this is precisely what happened. iPhones automatically upload all your photos to the cloud (because Apple is terrible), and it turns out iCloud didn't bother to do anything to prevent brute-force password attacks.

    So it's Apple's fault, then. Well, apart from the whole fact that stealing involves a thief, and that I doubt anybody was forced to shoot nude pics with her own iWhatever. But apart from that, mhhm-hmmm, looks like I've got yet another reason to stay away from gadget fashion.

    It's kind of depressing how many people failed to realize this during the whole scandal.

    In other news, here's an amusing bit of hypocrisy for you:


    Here's Jezebel saying that the first amendment and freedom of speech is not reasonable justification for posting Jude Law's nudes.


    Now here's Jezebel's parent publication Gawker using the first amendment to defend putting up the sex tape of Hulk Hogan.

    Should I join Reddit just to ask people why they give enough shits to see celebrities nude

    Jokesters claim that some fully clothed pictures of Sasha Grey have also been leaked.

    Welp, /r/TheFappening has been banned from Reddit.

    Oh god this is funny. Reddit admins took down various Fappening subreddits due to destructive amounts of traffic, child porn and viruses everywhere, and too many DMCA requests to properly deal with

    And yet this exists, calling the admins celebrity shills who care only for money and are horrible and infringing on their rights

    Just avoid the crap boards. The admins hate deleting boards, so you'll sometimes get crap like /r/beatingwomen

    @Icalasari: Interesting how Reddit only seems to care about deleting the horrible subs when there's a massive public scandal that becomes known to the rest of the web.


    I mean, we still have /r/GreatApes, for example. One guess as to what that's about. (Hint: it's not about actual apes.)

    dx/dt = A(x-T)^2, where x = Glenn's desire, t = time, T = the point of subreddit deletion, and A < 0?

    ^^ Although one'd have to wonder why Glenn's desire is a continuous functions in the first place. Did the fappening not cause an immediate impact on it? Did he foresee its deletion for his drop in desire to deaccelerate?


    Singularity and Dirac delta functions work for everything.

    "I've come to the conclusion that this is a VERY STUPID IDEA."

    ^ Alternately, we could make it a piecewise function:


    dx/dt < 0 when t < T1 (deletion of subreddit) or t > T2 (discovery of other subreddit)
    dx/dt = 0 when T1 < t < T2

    A lot of subreddits are kept as a containment measure of sorts for shitposters too.

    Actually, the admins explicitly stated that it would have stayed up if the sub wasn't grinding Reddit to a halt and also taking up a ton of time with responding to DMCA notices



    Although one could say the admins are just lazy in that case

    ...but then stuff like my school's president doing an AMA on reddit happens, and I have to further reconsider my not going on reddit.


     


    Sigh.

    Just go on the specific thread, anybody who thinks you are some sort of enabler by doing this is absolutely bonkers.
