Yesterday someone sent me a link to the blog of a man filming women without their knowledge, following them and making close up of their butts, then offering to sell his videos and pictures to the thousands of men liking and rebloging his posts. The blog is called @ukcandidgod. I was thinking of asking everyone to mass report but then I checked his mutuals and discovered that tumblr has a huge community of stalkers.
I clicked on a few, those men stalk all sorts of women, including mothers pushing strollers, women sitting on a bench, they also take upskirt pictures and slow motion videos of women in public and they do so with the bravado of men who don't fear any repercussion.
In one video a woman realizes that she's being followed so she enters the nearest shop and turns around in horror when realizing he's still following her and then she starts running. He laughs about it.
In a lot of videos the man describes the woman as posing for him, flexing for him, swaying her hips for him, even though the woman is minding her own business, but he constructs a fantasy in which he's not stalking her but she's luring him instead. In one video the man sexually assaults a woman, grabbing her butt and she immediately turns around and tell him not to do that.
So those are men filming as they stalk and assault women. One post had 14k notes. I'm going to vomit if I look at any more of this. But feel free to report it.
@staff is Tumblr okay with posting videos of crimes against women? Is Tumblr a good platform to profit from criminal activities? It appears so.
