The targeted women included heads of state, first ladies, royalty, legislators, government officials, journalists, TV presenters, athletes, entertainers, and other public figures.

Investigators said users could browse material by tags including “rape,” “forced,” “degradation,” and “slave.” Those categories are a big reason why prosecutors framed the case as abuse and exploitation rather than a copyright or impersonation dispute.

    I understand the logic of it just fine. Disagreeing with the response is not a sign of a lack of empathy. I’ve said repeatedly that people can feel how they want. I find it ironic that those of you purporting to be open minded are the ones trying to control how others feel about this topic.

      Then stop this trolling. No one cares if you personally wouldn’t be hurt by something that is actively hurting untold number of women and children. Your personal opinion was never the topic of discussion.

      The fact you think this is only about people’s feelings and not the material reality of bullying speaks volumes. Then you go onto gaslight people over your lack of awareness of the situation. Please share this encounter with your therapist or find a therapist before I start decoding your projections for the internet to see.

        There it is again. “Don’t act like you’re right and others are wrong” doesn’t work as a prescriptive when you’re doing exactly that in your replies.

        Why is it so important to you that I think about things the same way you do? You’re tossing out every derogatory pop-psychology term you can think of in an effort to make me conform to your way of thinking and yet I’m supposed to believe that you’re the empathetic one. I don’t think so buddy. Get over yourself.

          Im not going to bully you to prove the fact that bullying works. You do that well enough on your own.
