I love you, Willy T, but this post perpetuates the horror this voiceless woman is enduring.

many of us have seen it before. I knew who she is/was.

posting it is great stuff to get recs and to get emotions, i support the use of it to get emotions up.

but don't you think it's a tiny bit exploitative?

the graphic warning doesn't cut it.

you should instead use 1000 words. Or you can post an edited version.

poor woman.

I'm going to alert, but it probably won't be hidden.

I hope that you will edit the picture out in respect of the woman who had no choice in your posting the pic.

Please, man, please delete or edit.
