MODERATORS
So if I understand correctly, our candidate live-streamed sexual activity to Chaturbate, and is mad that someone saved and uploaded the video elsewhere.
Our candidate is a naive idiot.
"Invasion of my privacy without consent" You waived any claim to privacy when you hit the Begin Stream button and invited To Whom It May Concern into your bedroom. The video left your computer and arrived on someone else's computer, and hence permanently entered the state of being "on the internet." You're 40 years old, you and I grew up on the same internet in the same time period, you are both young and old enough to know better.
If you don't want the entire internet to see your gonads, don't upload your gonads to the internet. Probably don't even photograph your gonads in the first place, because your phone probably puts your entire camera folder on the internet anyway.
On the topic of a 40 year old woman and candidate for state office sharing an active and apparently adventurous sex life with her husband: Excellent, carry on. Living as long as I have under the thumb of right wing hypocrites who spend their entire lives trying to criminalize anything except being white, male and straight pausing only to take it up the ass in an airport men's room, I'd honestly prefer a candidate whose take on the matter is "YEAH I like getting dicked all the way down. Wanna watch?"
It's the blaming someone else for something YOU did that chuffs my spuds here. You chose to broadcast. And you can't stop the signal, Mal.
