German Court Rules That You Can't Keep Compromising Photos After a Break-Up
mrspoonsi (2955715) writes "A German amateur photographer has found out after his ex-girlfriend took him to court, which ruled that the subjects of smutty pictures can withdraw their consent if they're naked. [News release in German.] The shutterbug was able to keep the clothed pictures, however, as they weren't considered to compromise the reputation of the woman in question."
If the victim was male, then they still would've found some twisted way to blame him. After all, she's always the victim and he can never be. (sarcasm)
Have you considered that maybe your view of relationships might not be universal?
If you want to claim that a relationship by nature is unhealthy, I'll tell you to prove it. Thousands of years of psychological and sociological research will prove you wrong. Don't cite some one off quack to make your point, do the actual work. Sure there are "unhealthy" relationships in the world, but that is not because relationships are bad, but because of human nature. Example, all people breath and criminals breath too. That does not make breathing bad, it means that people breath. In a relationship, people need to learn to spot unhealthy behavior and deal with it. Either attempt to correct it, or move to a healthy relationship.
There are many people who will value a relationship highly even after it ends, everything you say seems to be negative.
I used a normal generalization where a person would want to keep naked pictures of their ex. If the relationship remains friends after a breakup, it's an exception not the normal. In which case, part of the friendship would entail deleting old naked photo's of the ex out of respect don't you think?
It would be a terrible world indeed where we would stop remembering the good times we had together with some loved one.
If you are a person that has to sit and look at naked photos of the ex to "remember the good times" you either had a relationship that was not really a relationship but a string of sexual encounters, or you are mentally ill. I don't mean that as accusatory, but if the shoe fits...
If you want to call out the exception as the normal, at least try and make it a valid exception. Nothing you said makes my statements wrong, you appear to be trying to nitpick to convince yourself that keeping naked photo's of an ex is an okay thing to do.

English isn't your first language? If it is, why do you not understand the definition of "dwells" and what the expression "all the time"? Since I'm guessing you are a native English speaker, if you are not trolling try reading my post again fully instead of selectively reading what you feel like.

So says you. Seems you failed philosophy 101. I think all that's healthy as fuck, and part of the human experience. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can and can't do in the privacy of my own home?
Are you trying to impress me with your lack of understanding the difference between Psychology and Philosophy? Add in all the ad hominem and it's not a surprise that you can't understand why the comment gets rated highly.
Troll somewhere else.
