SECOND EDIT: Don't go to the forum site that people have linked discussing the situation if you're at work... I just did. Gay porn ads ffs.
EDIT: For the love of God people stop posting he committed suicide simply because people found out he was gay. There's a massive difference between being found out gay when you're still in the closet, and being a closet gay and having the privacy of your deepest darkest secret broadcasted live of you having sex with another guy by your roommate."
Found this article interesting.
A college student asked his roommate if he could have the room for the night. His roommate let him have the room, but hid a webcam in the room and broadcast what was happening over the internet, annoucing what his roommate was doing via twitter. Something along the lines of "My roommate is making out with another dude, yay!" and also broadcast him having sex with another man. Traumatized by the results and being ridiculed, he ended up committing suicde over the matter.
The suicide of a university student — after a recording of him having a sexual encounter with a man was broadcast online — has stirred outrage and remorse on campus from classmates.
"Had he been in bed with a woman, this would not have happened," said Rutgers University student Lauren Felton, 21. "He wouldn't have been outed via an online broadcast and his privacy would have been respected and he might still have his life."
Gay rights groups say Tyler Clementi's suicide make him a national example of a problem they are working to combat: Young people who kill themselves after being tormented over their sexuality.
A lawyer for Clementi's family confirmed Wednesday that he had jumped off the George Washington Bridge last week .

Something I always think about when stories like these come around; how would this be any different if it was a celebrity? Are they supposed to tolerate things like this because they are celebrities? What about sex tapes released? What about poor Emma Watson who had a crotch shot (edit: guys, this was like over a year ago...) like how many weeks after she turned 18? Has this happened to a gay celebrity yet? I feel like the entire media would go crazy and blow up the issue if a closet gay celebrity had sex transmitted over the web, with no one saying anything wrong was done (well there would be backlash if the celeb committed suicide, but not by the mere act of transmitting the web feed). But since it was a random teen that ended up committing suicide, there's an immense backlash.
Don't get me wrong, I think there should be and what the roommate did (with a friend of his) was unacceptable. They even tried to do it a second time, as it says in the article. I think EVERYONE though should have a right to privacy, including celebrities, and don't get why the media is allowed to eat it up/papparazi shove cameras in their face nonstop. What do you guys think?
Nvm I'm rusty with laws apparently.

The things that people do in this world because of their social insecurity and the results and consequences are horrible.

Well it's see through panties kinda (not that I am guilty of looking at it! Well... yeah ok I have =X).

I agree with you that everyone has a right to privacy. We also have a right to be who we are -- even if that means some people are homosexual.
It's seriously fucked up what happened and I really wish people would get over gays. I've never seen an issue that matters so little matter so much to some.

if the celebrity that was violated kills him/herself due to the leaked video tape, it would become a big deal as well. and majority of celeb porn tapes are filmed with their permission, and leaking it usually gives them $.
its just funny how you are not focusing on the issue at hand. lol

Oh is that how the law goes? I wasn't aware that's how it worked.
And why in the world is it funny if that's where my train of thought went? Jesus.

this whole thing is just sad...

What do you mean it would be less important if it was a celeb? Heard of Paris Hilton? I wonder why she's famous......

It was her getting out of a limo iirc.
Sad story. :<
|
this story fucking sickens me. people need to learn to respect peoples privacy and the people who did this need to fall into a fucking hole and die.
|
i believe something like this happened in China too, the girl had sex with her bf which was unknowingly taped by a 3rd person. when the vid came out on the net, she was humiliated and killed herself as a result.
sometimes its i feel great knowing hell exists for ppl that really need it.
|
is it bad if once I heard Emma crotch shot I lost all interest in the rest of this story and am now googling to find pics?
|
thats what i did
if anything i think tl.net needs more crotch shot threads.
o and sad story and all but crotch shots are more relevent to my personal interest at the moment
|
no, thats your nature. it's bad if you don't come and consider the topic after you're satisfied.

I'm from Rutgers.. I heard this everywhere. I don't think they deserve manslaughter charges. There is a forum he was posting on (just us boys.com) and he seemed to be handling it well even on the day of the problem. So many people here are crying for blood from the 2 criminals but honestly wtf, who expected him to kill himself? If he was so candid about being gay he would not have brought dudes into his room. RIP.
EDIT: I can't believe he prefered to be gay and have the whole world know than be gay and have like 10 or so people know. Pretty stupid imo.
|
Chris hansen is so handsome >: he ruined the crotch shot.
Wow suicuide and i thought gay people were accepted in todays media,tabloids etc. guess i was wrong.
|
The real issue imo is that the roomate is a douchebag. I mean, who the fuck sets up a records their room mate when they ask for privacy. Let the kid have some free time, who cares what he's doing?

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your post or not so before I make an idiot of myself I feel I have to ask you're not trying to imply that the people who committed suicide belong in hell, are you?
