Without getting into the details, the logline behind the viral trend is a couple’s intimate video that went viral on social platforms, while lecherous men scouted for similar faces, dropping vile comments on unassuming women, who then made posts to debunk the character assassination.
This ain’t a new phenomenon, but it brings to the fore the consequences of voyeurism, amateur porn, and the complexities of relationships in an era where memories in a machine are never sacrosanct. Especially if it's physical intimacy, recorded for private pleasure.
There’s no need to recall any here that the recent past (or earlier) went viral. A couple decades ago with the advent of multimedia recording devices and significantly faster internet, MMS became a viral phenomenon. From celebs to normies, none seemed to be spared. The only difference between the bygone digital era and now is the ease of access and the normalization of proliferating the content. One doesn’t need to go through certain sites and forums to get ahold of it. Leaked media is readily ailable on Reddit, X/Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms, with a few even encashing.
Not long ago a young content creator (who shall not be named here) was blackmailed by a lowlife hacker who coerced the underage influencer to produce private clips in order to give the account access back. Soon the clips went viral. Props to the resilient woman who did not let the men and their perversion dictate her life going forward.
So what does one do if they come across something like the aforementioned? Break the chain. Break the pattern. Will you?
