It seems like a lot of people I see here need a ๐Ÿซ‚ or few lately.

If you're feeling like you might hurt yourself, please consider a helpline or even DMing me as an alternative (see profile for contact options). I may not be able to respond *immediately*, but I will read it and I will respond. :neocat_heart:

Yes, I'm just some queerdo on the internet, but sometimes that's enough to get through a hard patch. How do I know? Because if it wasn't for the kindness of some of the people on this site, I wouldn't be here today. (thank you ๐Ÿ’•)

You can call a peer-run warm-line for your state here: warmline.org/warmdir.html

If it's critical, you can go to 988lifeline.org/ or call tel:988, but beware of the risk of possible emergency services involvement.

If you're not in the US, here's a list of crisis lines by country: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o

#PSA: posting someone else's nudes without their consent is fucked up, and also illegal.

- it doesn't matter if you "don't own these images" โ€”I already guessed you weren't a collective of teen girls or their agent.

- it doesn't matter if you "found them online" โ€”they weren't your fucking photos to share.

- it doesn't matter if I can "message you to have a photo removed" โ€”see point #2, asshole.

Not only are these porn reposting accounts *nonconsensually* using the bodies of (mostly) young women to earn themselves fake internet points, they're also (in many places) breaking existing anti-revenge-porn laws. It should also be pointed out that, because the photos are stolen, they have no reasonable assurance of the subject's age, so it's entirely possible they're also posting child pornโ€”and ignorance of the subject's age isn't a defense.

---

So help make Fedi safer for femme-presenting folx and for responsible sex-work. Stop these shitty porn repost accounts that profit off of other people's bodies. Call them out. Report them. Get them suspended.

(but please don't dogpile or attack themโ€”there's still a person in there somewhere, and with any luck they're redeemable)
