I was debating with myself about whether or not I should post this, but you know what? It's important information that needs to be shared.
docs.google.comSo, in case you’re out of the loop of internet DRAMA, quite a bit of it has sprung up over a reddit board called “creepshots.” It consists of pictures of women in public taken without their consent. A tumblr was recently made de voting to identifying the men who contribute to this blog called Predditors, providing information about the men who post to this board. Those who were identified immediately began crying about their privacy being invaded (not so fun when it’s you, is it?)
Thing is, Predditors got taken down, but now it’s back up with password protection. Luckily, the identifying material has been preserved and uploaded to google docs, so it can still be shared. Click the link above.
Again, everything that is on Predditors is PUBLIC INFORMATION that was READILY AVAILABLE on sites like OkayCupid and Facebook.
Jezebel (which can be problematic but occasionally is brilliant) has a wonderful article about the situation, and Gawker has an article about the monster behind creepshots and how Reddit actively protected him, links to both of which have been banned on Reddit.
Here’s the deal:
If innocent women can’t expect to have privacy, respect, and basic human dignity every time we leave our house, then the men who victimize them can’t expect to have anonymity on the internet.
Do not fuck with women, we will fight back.
“First, creepshots and parallel forms of sexualizing women publicly without their consent is a huge indicator of what we culturally perceive women’s public roles to be. That you have no reasonable expectation of privacy while appearing in public is a given in the United States. But there should be a reasonable expectation of not being exploited or harassed. When women appear in public, our culture consider their bodies passive receptors to whatever judgement or use allows at any moment. We can call them fat, we can harass them on the street, and we can take pictures of them without asking for permission.”

Probably the best description of the predditors situation I’ve seen, with ace note on what’s wrong with all of this.

Well I am sick to shit of the hypocrisy of Reddit users that think it’s okay to post upskirt shots of girls but then get pissy when someone outs their information that they were stupid enough to post publicly AND since I’m pissed that predditors got taken down I’ll just go ahead and list all the predditors I saw on there, sorry assholes.
-Spencer Kruse, San Francisco. Lovely use of the word “nigger” copiously, you assfuck.
-Tim Reighard, St. Louis. You look like a Goomba. You have a young daughter. FOR SHAME.
- JohnRey SyGaco, Chicago. Cute cat. Too bad an asshole owns it.
-Doran Hornsby. Newport News. DORAN?Shut up.
-Joe DeAngelis. CT.
-David Bochenek. Oak Lawn. Ok then. There is literally nothing I can say that life hasn’t already said to you.
-Stephen Mastesa. NZ. I’ve got nothing. Your glasses are stupid.
-Jason Kayorie. Toronto. Apparently you have an account on a pedophile website? Good to know.
-Will Smith. Boonton. Certified Baller, apparently.
-Jorge Luis Vargas. Ft. Lauderdale. Looks like Angel from Dexter.
-Eyal Zarchi, Israel. Life is not a TOOL video, dude.
-Dyllan Abston, Columbia. Looks to be about 15. Is from KY. Good luck with that.
-Bradley Bonaventure, Rosedale. Might possible be the Numa Numa guy.
-Hector Prieto, Chicago.
-Peter Avveduti, Sherman Oakes. It’s not 1997 anymore.
Every one of these guys looks like a rapist. Good luck with life, stupids. If you’re going to be a creep, at least use a throwaway account.
Guys, last night a tumblr called "Predditors" was deleted
Predditors was a tumblr set up by some woman named Samantha to list personal identifying information about redditors who posted on a sub called /r/creepshots. Thank what you want about the subreddit, the personal information was uncalled for and dangerous, and because Samantha decided to witchhunt those people, one of them was hunted down and attacked last night and had to go to the hospital.
Please, please contact tumblr (support@tumblr.com) if you see another tumblr blog that releases personal info (dox) on redditors out of spite. Feel free to contact me to do it for you (then I can pass the information on to the proper parties at reddit.com).
Thanks.
“Allowing [predators] to be part of the community is not an assertion of free speech, rather it is assertion by Reddit and Condé Nast of the right of adult men to sexualize children & violate women’s privacy through non-consensual exposure. It’s simple as that and you could almost stop there. That assertion of power needs to be met with another assertion: that we value right of women and children to be in the public without predation and intimidation. It’s assertion of one right over the assertion of the right to victimize.”
—Free Speech and Power: From Reddit Creeps to anti-Muslim Videos, It’s Not *Just* “Free Speech”, Zeynep Tufecki, TechnosociologyAnnoyed that predditors is already down. Complaining about details/photos of yourself being given out to strangers online after 1) you put those details publicly online yourself anyway (I bet you wouldn’t make the same argument on behalf of someone upset about being trolled be entire imageboards for their stupid youtube videos/FB photos after someone posted their details), 2) you did the exact same thing to those women whose bodies you photographed without their consent or knowledge, only, y’know, without their consent or knowledge, is hypocritical beyond belief.
& let’s face it: you’re not upset because your privacy’s been invaded, you’re scared because you’ve been caught out. You’re thinking that you might have to be on your guard when you’re out of the house now, because someone might shout at you in the street, or physically attack you.
Well, now you know how it feels to be a woman all the fucking time.
Lighting all the candles in my Lucy Lawless shrine to pray that if I ever notice someone taking an upskirt, downshirt, or any other creepy photo of me when I am out living my life I have the strength and courage to kick him in the face
Mighty Xena, full of rage
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed are your Amazonian warriors
Grant me the strength to take no shit
And kick with my heart’s content
Amen
Click here to see the complete compiled information of men who put "Creepshots" on Reddit.
docs.google.comRevealing the complete identities of men who post “Creepshots” to Reddit! Note, all of the information compiled is completely public and can be found with a bit of internet sleuthing.
“Creepshots” are pictures (often upskirts or other inappropriate things) of women and young girls posted without their consent to Reddit, a popularly horrible website. This website has it’s own forum dedicated to uploading these horrible pictures, and now all of the sexual predator’s identities are being made public by this website (and another, that is right now password protected)
Please support it by spreading these men’s identities around. Some of them are even married, can you believe it? I can’t wait until each of these scum are stripped of their wives and jobs.
My problem with Michael Brutsch.
My problem is not with people who type “offensive” things over the internet.
Offensive is fine. Masturbate over photos of dead babies, whatever, I don’t care. It’s your own thing, and as long as you aren’t actually going out there and killing babies, you can jerk off to whatever you want in the privacy of your own home. Nobody can stop you. (But we can mock you for it.)
My problem is with cowards.
Hypocritical little pusswads like this lumpy thing below.
If you want to spend your time photographing underaged girls without their knowledge or consent, then do not cry when people start invading your privacy without your consent.
It is motherfucking simple: if you can’t take it, then don’t dish it.
Put your money where your mouth is. If you want to be a child predator, racist, homophobe, whatever, on the internet—fine—then stand by your convictions, and don’t cry when you find that not everyone appreciates your line of thought.
And by “everyone,” I mean your boss.
Good luck with the job hunt, Mr. Brutsch. (Except that I know he’s trying for the whole PayPal thing now, and oh well, if Redditors want to waste their money paying for him, then that’s on them.)
Reddit lies their asses off.
reddit.comIn a statement to CNN, Reddit says it “regrets not taking stronger action sooner,” and that “Mr. Brutsch was banned several times.”
Bullshiiiit.
