Shouldn't this extend in general to "You shouldn't take picture of anyone without their permission, even in a public space"? Or is there something special about cosplay I'm missing?
So Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry are trending on Twitter...

Why would it be illegal to take pictures of cosplayers?

I don't even know what I'm arguing about anymore.
I just think it is ridiculous to compare this with all of those women having their phones hacked like it is the same thing.
If you are in public, people are legally allowed to photograph you. They weren't aiming a camera up Orlando's skirt, he was paddling by what I understand was a public beach. Unless I am mistaken, no crime was committed. Is it rude to take a photo of Orlando's penis? yes, fine.
The actors from the fappening actually had an actual crime committed against them.
Beyond the legality, I think it is galling to act like it is the same thing for a man or a woman to have nudes leaked. it just isn't in our present, thoroughly sexist society.
That's it. I'm done. now everyone fuck off. I love you all. Good night.

You're right. The post Exploder was referring to was specifically talking about cosplay though which is why I brought it up.
It's not necessarily illegal but that doesn't mean it's okay to do so without asking.
It is absolutely not the same thing and the comparison is indeed ridiculous. I was explaining why that poster referred to cosplay and not suggesting that it's anywhere close to being the same thing.
wtf?! No there isn't!

Instead of changing your argument or pretending we misinterpreted your argument, own up to what you said.

Every time a celebrity's dick goes public, you have everyone bashing them for how small it is.
Like, someone's dick can be hanging down to their knees and you will have people going "Not sure what the big deal is, looks completely normal."
The salt when JB's flaccid penis leaked was so good :L

I don't think it's sexist to say you'd prefer to see one person naked over another. And I'm right there with you.

nice semi. Edit: it's actually a flaccid shower.
But wow Katy has a fine body.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Is this a micropenis????
Never in my life have I've seen a smaller penis!

It's not small but a lot of guys have something similar. Well, in the Netherlands, that is..
Where do you think we are?
lmao, perfect use of this image!
And yay for equality, am I right?

Were they on a private beach, a specifically nudist beach, or are all Italian beaches clothing optional?

99% sure most circumcised men have no idea what a dick with foreskin looks like.

My self-esteem just dropped considerably. CONSIDERABLY.

Haha this. Good for him and her. I don't follow the celeb crap, but it does seem like he is pretty damn happy.

Lol. I don't think there really is any other reaction to this, but laughter at the incredulity of it actually being said

I feel like you guys are all hopping on the fact that I pointed out a double standard as some sort of endorsement of the double standard.
Is this some sort of "the one who smelt it, dealt it" offshoot of feminism?
I understand what you're saying, but are there any examples of women celebrities who have gotten fallout from going to a topless beach? (I honestly can't recall.) I sort of feel like there is enough difference and nuance in this instance where the double standard doesn't apply.
Now, if Orlando Bloom was hacked and his private pics leaked, I agree with you in that he likely wouldn't have similar repercussions as a woman. That still doesn't invalidate his right to privacy and the fact that he was a victim.
You're on GAF. We all have 13 inchers.

No, it's more about your using hypothetical fallout as a measure of the ethicality or "okay-ness" of taking a posting a person's nude photo online. Yes, they're in public, but the consequences shouldn't really factor into how relatively okay it is for either gender

You know what, you guys convinced me. I really feel horrible for Legolas right now. It's just like the time that Kate Upton had her phone hacked and her nude photos were posted online. I'm going to go watch Elizabethtown and cry.

Yes because hacking hacked photos leaked is exactly the same as paparazzi taking pics of you in public. But it's clear you only care about misplaced whining about the patriarchy and not about having an actual discussion so fuck it, think whatever you want

Exploder is totally right about reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place by the way.
Bloom is in no way a "victim" here.
I wonder how some of you get your weird ideas about photography. If every person on earth needed to sign a release form before pictures in public were taken we'd have no photojournalism whatsoever. no crowd shots. no news gathering.
and yes that extends to cosplayers in public. private venue can set rules about photography but not a sidewalk or park (or beach). it may be courtesy to ask first (I do) but you do not have to, it's not illegal, nor immoral.
