That's no different than EBAY where women, without their knowledge or consent, are subjected to sexual humiliation, including depictions of GANG RAPE.
Here's an example of an underage girl being attacked:
As far as EBAY is concerned, this isn't "Offensive Materials." This is funny. Or just erotica. Does it matter that Emma Watson has not consented to have this image sold by strangers for their profit? Does it matter to EBAY that this seller doesn't say he obeys Federal Law and has a signed model release of "age and consent?" NO.
GANG RAPE DOES NOT MATTER TO EBAY. Reporting this auction by phone to EBAY at 866-540-3229 gets NO action. It's not "offensive materials" by Ebay's standards.
As far as EBAY is concerned, it is not "offensive" for their sellers to offer any doctored up photos of movie stars in being crucified, being victimized by bodily fluids all over their faces, or in the case of this Selena Gomez item, being tied up and assaulted obviously against her will:
Yes, for $3.99 a seller happily offers a "fridge magnet" with a faked-up picture that makes it look like teenage singer Selena Gomez is being tied up and assaulted. And EBAY is taking a percentage. So is PAYPAL.
Meanwhile, this at RAMAPO COLLEGE
Do they all look like perverts? Do they all look like people who just don't give a damn about a helpless woman being victimized, or a woman abused and degraded without her consent?
Is the 21st Century really a place where people laugh at a woman drugged up and then abused, taken advantage of when she has no idea what's going on? Is it a place where EBAY and PAYPAL don't protect women either, women who have no idea "ex girlfriend" and "ex wife" photos are being sold on them, or that "fantasy" images of them being raped and abused are a good profit?
Porn photos are being sold on EBAY with NO MODEL RELEASE OR PERMISSION. Sellers aren't required to say "I have a model release for this, and can produce it if asked."
Take a look at the six people above. It's five rapists and the CEO OF EBAY, DEVIN WENIG.
Is his company so much of an Internet giant that Federal Law and common decency are sneered at?
Don't think this website is anti-porn. Pornographers are often very moral. Porn sold by Hustler, Playboy, Vivid Video or any of the professionals, involves a word EBAY and RAPISTS don't know: CONSENT.
If a woman chooses to appear in pornography, she signs a model release of age and consent. Anything less is a crime. Why is it pornographers obey laws that EBAY and PAYPAL don't?
The five rapists from Ramapo no doubt saw how women are degraded in the media, and how easy and profitable it is, and that some rapists get 60 days in jail or less IF caught.
Do you suppose any of the Ramapo rapists have seen Internet Photoshop jobs on major celebrities? Think they laughed when Jennifer Lawrence's private photos were "leaked" by people who feel ENTITLED to "leak" anything they can steal? Did the UBER company fire Ken Bone because they saw his Reddit remarks about how much he enjoyed seeing Jennifer Lawrence's nude photos?
Common decency is being eroded, and it doesn't have to be that way. EBAY makes huge profits; it does not have to siphon chump change via violent and degrading images on their site. In fact, they will remove dupe photos of Nazi atrocities, and suspend sellers who revel in real or fantasy images of lynched blacks hanging from trees. They just don't think that sexual abuse of women without their knowledge or consent is "offensive." They don't respect women.
The "celebrity porn" and "ex-wife" and "ex-girlfriend" photos on eBay sell BECAUSE they are illicit and forbidden and WITHOUT CONSENT. That's part of the thrill.
Just as the Ramapo rapists figured it was up to that young girl to know she'd been given powerful drinks and that it was up to her to know when to say when and walk away, EBAY figures it's up to Emma Watson to know there's an "adults only" section of eBay and that she should check there every week to see the vile images on her. They also figure that if she files an objection on the seller, the seller should be allowed to keep abusing other women, and only stop if another five, or ten, or fifteen different actresses also complain.
This is not how it should be. If YOU believe your local senator or governor should act, if you believe the Attorney General should act, if you want to call up eBay or write to eBay and protest, if you want to see eBay govern itself OR have itself governed strictly in obeying Federal Law, please do what you can.
Rape and Gang Rape stories should not be in the news every day, and taken for granted. And pornography without CONSENT should not be allowed, especially on EBAY.
