Hey, this is the original account of the tumblr that posted the photoshop you were in. Honestly I didnāt expect it to get that big, nor did I ever hope to mislead people to think the photo was real. Just want to apologize for that, Iāll edit the post to clarify if youād like.
2/2Ā Follow up to my previous āaskā: I took down the blog. Thereās a post explaining some things but the jist is that I never had malicious intentions and I felt bad about what happened. I apologize, I should have had more foresight before posting.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā-
Hello!
I appreciate you taking down the blog. I considered messaging you asking you to take down my photo, but decided that it was pointless for a few reasons: 1) Itās already been reblogged. 2) It (luckily) doesnāt have my name on it; it literally couldāve been anyone. 3) I did, after all, post the original photo myself. I understand that by posting photos of myself on the internet, I run the risk of people reusing those photos and potentially photoshopping them. Thatās an inherent risk of posting things on the internet.Ā
HOWEVER (and this is a huge āhoweverā), you need to realize that Iām a real person. I know you didnāt know who the person was at the time of photoshopping it and posting it, as probably with most of the women you posted on your blog, but you need to realize that I and all those women are real individuals. Would you post a sexual photoshopped photo of your best friend or family member? Of course not. You actually know them and thus it becomes harder to post. I understand that thereās a certain level of disconnect between you and the women on your blog, but like I said, at the end of the day, theyāre still people who still run the risk of coming across their own photos (as I did).Ā
The original photo wasnāt even sexual. The content of the writing isnāt sexual. For reference, in case you havenāt seen it, here is the real, original version:
With that being said, I know you didnāt have malicious intentions. I do very much appreciate your apology and the fact that you took your blog down, and I accept your apology. You have the right and freedom to do whatever you want with other peoplesā photos, but moving forward, I do ask that you try to refrain from what youāve been doing because it is immoral and unfair to the women who ended up on your blog without permission.Ā
Absolutely. It was reckless and I fully realize the impact it could have on an individual now. Truth be told, I had found the image on Google, and that gave me this illusion that it was public enough to photoshop and not worry about.
Clearly that was a stupid thought. The internet is a place where things can spread very quickly, and to post anything that could potentially damage someone's reputation under the assumption that it won't be seen is just asking for trouble.
Again, I apologize, and I won't be making any more captions/photoshops. To my followers, THIS IS A PERSONAL DECISION. Don't put any blame on Gabbie or her followers, they aren't forcing me to quit or anything. They showed me why what I was doing was wrong, and even though I could make adjustments and do it the right way, I'd like to take this as an opportunity to move onto other things as my intention was never to make porn as a hobby. I've got a life I need to focus anyway.
Cheers.
