Those links are about very different cases of children being blackmailed. What's at issue in the link is leaked pictures of grown women.

Clearly the behaviour of the people involved in this is abhorrent (for multiple reasons) but there has to be a point where you stop caring. Moore is not the only asshole in the story by a long stretch. He might not even be the worst.

I mean, if the boyfriend thought about leaving her for a second then he's not worth worrying about, he's an asshole. Whoever fired the kindergarten teacher likewise. The real story is not the 'revenge porn', it's the morons that are so upset by it that they fire someone, or that anyone would take kids away from their mother over it, or really any of the societal bullshit about nudity.

edit: And seriously, some professions don't like taking people who have been naked on the internet? Those professions need to grow the f*ck up.

Well, yes, his revenge porn only works because other people are arseholes. But it's because all those other people are arseholes that the victims can't just shrug it off.

Well, if people in their social circle made fun of him saying they'd seen her topless, it could certainly stress things between them.

That would make him pretty worthless.

No, it doesn't. If the woman you are with has pictures stolen and posted to the internet, and you are anything but supportive, you're a worthless human being. If your friends are somehow abusing you for it and you do anything but tell them where to get off, see above.

It doesn't matter if you're going to break up with her the next day or you hate the very sight of the woman, it's basic human decency.

That's one of the worst pieces of advise I've ever read on HN.
