This presumes the film processing technician doesn’t keep a copy, and that anyone receiving a print does not have a scanner. I would not consider film “way less likly to be spread”.
As I have utilized the ability to think for myself, I will choose to make whatever remarks I like.
If you don’t want people to see it, don’t take a picture of it. It’s far too easy for these things to get out into the public domain and then they’re gone.
Well I tried, but I couldn’t quite bend far enough to…oh wait, that’s not what you meant. Never mind.
Even without “your face attached” you still run the risk of the picture being labelled as you, and you get stuck defending or denying it. Obviously if you’re not a famous person it’s less of an issue but the potential bothers me. Clearly it doesn’t bother other people as much, so click away as much as you want.
I suppose. I found that my ex-boyfriend had googled all of the variations of my username until he found some stories I had published on a website and read them all. Up until that point I was totally Ok with it - after all, I had published them on an open website. What offended me was when he contacted me to defend something in them. WTF? I blocked him. It’s one thing to stalk me. It’s another thing to stalk me, admit it, and try to make me defend something.
But that’s all that came of it. I’m sure he’s still reading. Let him. As you said, I’m not a famous person, and it’s just not something that bothers me. To me there is a HUGE difference between defending a nude picture of myself, and one in a truly compromising position. Simply being nude is not that big of a deal, and I am not a nudist!
But of course I am not trying to sell the idea to you. I’m just saying, we have thought about the possibilities, too. My family would be the only ones I would really worry about, and my dad doesn’t even know how to turn the laptop on. Most of the rest of my family would never, ever even mention it to me if they found something. Best to not acknowledge it exists.
Yeah, but some people aren’t that good at LYING. I know that if pictures of a 12 inch wanker were floating around and it was supposed to be me but I knew it wasnt’ it sure would be nice to be able to say “that sure as hell aint mine” with a straight face knowing its true.
My ex-wife did this. She found some pictures online that could have possibly have been me, and sent them to all my family members to announce our divorce. She was kind enough to print and snail-mail photos to relatives that didn’t have email. I saw them later and thought there’s NO WAY I could have been that skinny, and of course my face wasn’t in any of them, but the damage was done. Thankfully my family is sane and they all thought “WTF? Why are we even getting these? She’s a sick bitch!” and words to that effect.
I was thinking the same thing; or at least expected a link to one of the more current penis-threads.
As for the question; not that I remember. Although there are big gaps in the late 70s section of my memory. I am assuming photographing someone else doesn’t really count in the spirit of the discussion.
Often the thread is resurrected by a spammer, there’s a reply from a long-timer, and then the spammer’s post is deleted. Or we could be experiencing a whole new Reality.
