So sick. So messed up. I don't think I should read the rest.

I can't help thinking of this, from a powerful article about this creepy behavior which is all too common and deserving of a much harsher adjective than just "creepy".


Laws has been researching possible legal routes for victims of such sites, which has brought her into contact with Mary Anne Franks, associate professor of law at the University of Miami. "What unites creepshots, the Middleton photographs, the revenge porn websites," says Franks, "is that they all feature the same fetishisation of non-consensual sexual activity with women who either you don't have any access to, or have been denied future access to. And it's really this product of rage and entitlement."
