Quickie with Jas: Leaked Nudes - Who should we blame?
On this week's Quickie with Jas, I talked about how a Malaysian influencer went on and say that victims are the ones to be blamed for leaked nudes because they were the ones who took it, therefore, blame is on them. That "every action has a reaction", so we cannot blame the ones leaking the nudes 100%. I beg to differ. Also, at the end of the episode, I share some tips on how to create and share nudes 'safely'.
