General

I saw one of mine up there that I never gave permission for so I've sent them a message asking them to remove it as facebook doesn't seem to be letting me report it at the moment...

Thanks for letting us know

[/quote]all sins aside I don't see the problem the guy doesn't seem to be passing the pics off as his own (the fact that it is a guy makes that obvious) should he have asked permission probably but ultimately he's not doing any harm there are tons of groups like this on fb and non have been flagged (yet) so if you are offended I'm sorry but get over yourself[/quote]

well of course you dont see the problem youve probably never had your photos made into vore comics or nasty farting comics like some of us

are there photos of you on that site ???
if not i suggest you shut up

oh so there are photos of you half naked on that group ?
thats really funny because I looked though some of the photos and it seemed to be all women
hmm silly me

Look, I'll clear it up a bit, she was asking you a rhetorical question. Let me rephrase and expand it:



That's what she was trying to say. She wasn't asking if you had photos on your own Facebook page... because they'd be in your own possession and thus obviously not a problem, so there's no reason for her to ask about that within the context of this topic, which is about stolen photos.

Your point is pretty clearly that you don't understand why people wouldn't want photos of themselves intended for a certain audience to be taken and shown to a much wider audience than the subject is comfortable with, or in a capacity that they're not comfortable with.

And in that, your point still stands.

"I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it's the status quo and I'm totally okay with that because it benefits me."

They've seen my message and my photo has been removed, so I'd recommend anybody else who doesn't want their pics on there to do the same.

Just because 'it happens' it doesn't mean it's right or that you are right to support it. As Wannabe Princess has said we upload our pics onto this site (a fat-positive space) with knowledge that there is risk that they'll get passed around, possibly in the wrong hands. I personally don't mind my pictures going around the online FA community, but I have a problem with my pictures being on an open facebook group, because people who have no interest in fat bodies can stumble across them very easily and I don't want my pictures being that easily accessible to non-FAs. Do I have any right to prevent this? No, but I do have a right to be offended if somebody disregards my wishes, my photos, and my body in this way. You cannot dictate how I should feel after discovering that somebody has uploaded pictures of my body onto their website. My photos, my body, my feelings. Your opinions do not matter, nor do any of us have any obligation to explain our feelings to you.



It's NEVER a good thing for anybody to 'out' somebody else without their consent.

For the sake of many people's emotional, mental and even physical well-being it can be the most safe thing to do, yes. Not that I would consider keeping quiet about your sexual kinks/fetishes 'lying about who you are'.

Regardless, it's not anybody's business to 'out' another person. It violates their autonomy, insulting their ability to make choices regarding their own life.

Hahaha I certainly don't live a lie. I am who I want to be (believe it or not my being doesn't revolve around the expression of my naked body on the internet), I'd just rather fetishised pictures of my body are not so readily available for my nan to see on facebook. I took those pictures for a specific audience, I don't need or want anybody else to see them.

You do realise that 'those girls' you're talking about aren't just some abstract concept? We are the people on here, telling you that you're wrong.

I have spoken about this in the past when discussing closet FA's actually... there's nothing wrong with concealing a sexual fetish from people, but there is something wrong with concealing an entire person from one's friends/family, which is what closet FA's do.

It's not like people of other fetishes regularly go out in public and tell people they like leather or balloons and I'm pretty sure they live their lives just fine with it being a delightful and erotic secret.
