Imagine some middle school kids. One of them scribbles a drawing and writes the name of a girl in their class above their stick figure drawing and a giant penis in their face, with the name of some boy above it. It gets passed around at school and people pick on her. Are we going to fault the drawing for this? Or are we going to fault parents, the school, culture, kids being assholes? Imagine some Mothers Against Tomfoolery group agitating for this to be punishable by felony convictions, most reasonable people would be wildly against it. Now, because we have computers instead of pencils all of a sudden this panty wringing has momentum? It is a moral panic, just like every one that came before, and it is dangerous just like every one that came before.
Google teen suicide nudes and then come back and tell me it's just a moral panic
You assume it's a moral panic because some people don't behave in ways you deem rational and don' share your views on sex.
Guess what, we're not Vulcans. We're humans with feelings and violations like this can have serious consequences for the people it's done to
First, teens take nudes of themselves to send to each other because they're horny. When those nudes get leaked, it's betrayal by someone they trust, it's actually a picture of them that they took, and it is harassment. Now, killing yourself in response to it, that in my mind is an indicator of an unhealthy environment at school. But that's still a real violation of their trust, it's real harassment, it is understandable that they'd feel extreme stress as a result. We are talking about drawings, not some mirror selfie some girl sent to her boyfriend that he showed his friends. The two scenarios are not the same thing.
People behaving in ways that aren't rational is a core part of a moral panic. I don't care if people share my views on sex. Moral panics to make homosexuality illegal had different views of sexuality also. Just because someone has a different view than me doesn't give them the right to pass laws that affect everybody. We ideally determine what should be illegal based on what's reasonable, not based on how people feel. It is unreasonable to throw people in jail for technologically modern doodles.
No felony convictions .. and a half decent chance some of the kids he passed it to that passed it on giggling get the same deal, yard duty.
