I think for me it's a consent issue. Women willingly naked in public, no issue, embarrassed or not if you strip off in public and some pictures get taken that you're not aware of, that's a risk you take, you consented to putting yourself in a situation where that is likely to happen. But I can't get behind sharing images of women undressed due to forced or traumatic events. If someone's being airlifted after an accident, for example, and their forced state of undress is shared across the world, it's making the worst event of their life potentially even more traumatic and the idea of taking pleasure at someone's trauma (rather than their mild and self-inflicted embarrassment) just gives me chills.
Sorry I'm not trying to be argumentative for the sake of it, or to judge others, I just feel like it's an important distinction that threads such as this highlight and I'm not sure that this (or anywhere) is the place to share such things?
