Turning the tables : Comments

By Jay Thompson, published 12/1/2011

It used to be that girls displayed their uncovered charms for men, but 'DickiLeaks' changes the poles.

I find her need for revenge interesting and it is a shame that this aspect wasn't explored. Certainly it is difficult to imagine a male member of our society thinking that this behaviour is an acceptable response to rejection. It isn't even clear what these players owed to her that she didn't get. Perhaps she is used to getting what she wants from the teenaged boys in her own social world.

I think what has stood out for me from this whole affair is the media's role in pushing train wrecks along. This young woman might feel aggrieved with the Australian football world, but her act of targeting uninvolved young men and putting their naked photos has been no solution for her.

It seems that the very taking and storing of those photos by another person was a breach of trust to begin done to those young men. Whatever those people's motives (homo eroticism etc), it doesn't make it right.

It also was not right in the release of that photo of Laura Bingle which has often been cited as a bit of fair payback for this next case and personally I'd like to see the ape who took, kept and put her photo out doing a bit of serious jail time.

Those photos having been released on the social media now would be very difficult to control. The young men targeted will now just have to laugh it off though clearly there has been a deal of personal hurt. It would be nice though if the mainstream media held back from reporting this young woman's continued activities and not show those photos for all the parties sake. She is only 17.

In South Australia the law apparently is such that she would be up on a charge. That might have been the best thing for her as a sympathetic children's court could make orders regarding her such as she stay away from football training and away from the media for her own sake. As it is the trainwreck will no doubt continue to unfold.

Sadly her activities are only making the lives of those who haven't had a fair deal in relation from organisations to greivances lives more difficult.

Rubbish article. She is nothing but a spoiled brat looking for attention.

Apparently getting changed in front of another male is now homoeroticism.

Dickileaks is urination. An anagram of urination is ruination.

It is a bit hard to actually know what this article is about, is it about nude photos, homoeroticism, or a young woman out of control seeking to do as much damage as she possibly can.

Unlike the author I have not seen the photos so cant actually comment on them.

The media fed off of this stuff. Like blowflies to a carcass, the merest smell of a juicy scandal. Hence the media attention is like oxygen to fire, the more media attention the bigger the flames.

Michelangelo's statue David, then there are the Pompeii frescos, that when discovered were deemed to shocking for women to see.

Some of the temples around certain countries have statues, in certain poses, that are by todays definition are classified as pornographic.

One can only assume that erocticism has been around for a very long time.

Lol! Great article.

I loved the humerus way the author treated this story, even though it was certainly not humerus for all those involved.

I saw two of the photos, and one of them shows the footy player positioned facing the camera in an obvious pose - he is naked and has his genitals displayed in his hands, so the viewer can get a good look at his equipment.

He seems proud to stand there, and doesn't look surprised or horrified, like Lara Bingle did in the nude shower photo taken of her without her consent.

So no, I don't feel sorry for the guy at all, and I am all for equality in the viewing of nude photos :)
