This feels like the fairest opinion to me. I don't think it belonged in the fiction section, because it's not one of those drawn out fantasy/novel-stories. It was meant to be fun, realistic discussion -- about something that has probably happened 20 million times since the computer age.
That said, I could have been clearer that it was purely hypothetical -- but maybe keeping it ambiguous was part of the fun.
Anyway, point is, I was genuinely interested in hearing the range of opinions about what people would do in a situation like this. And I painted the picture of the friend being a wee bit of a douchebag and womanizer, because I wondered if it would shift anyone's ethical baseline a bit more towards ..."well, he sort of had it coming!"
Of course, this totally negates the agency and privacy of his wife...but this is all part of the fantasy.
So far, w've heard everything from - "print out her pictures and place them everywhere" to "repent your sins, delete the picture, never speak of it again."
Didn't mean to start a mini bruhaha lol. Feel free to keep expressing opinions anyone.
We could also create new "What would you do in (this) situation" topics/questions.
