BASICALLY this is what happened to me a few weeks ago
12 years ago
General
some photos of me were leaked onto a revenge porn site. for those who dont know what that is, its where dirty scumbags put photos of their ex-girlfriends along with their full names, contact info, etc in order to fuck them over, humiliate them, and make their lives miserable. luckily, i was able to get the photos removed quickly. i dont think it was done by someone to specifically target me (i have no exes who would do this to me) but regardless it was malicious.
i'm still pretty shaken up by the whole thing. i havent really done any commissions since it happened. the internet took a super sour tinge for a while, i wasnt able to shake the feelings of guilt, humiliation, and the sense of dread that i felt when i was online.
i feel really bad for making people wait (tho i dont accept payments upfront for this sort of reason) but i felt like i should explain myself to everyone and indicate that my silence doesnt mean i am trying to ditch you guys, simply that this whole series of events has really made me reconsider a lot of junk.
that being said, i am still working to get commissions out to people, and i am kind of seeing this whole thing as a turning point. i want to do better, i want to reinvent my art on here. i want to try harder on commissions and make them look better. i want to be the artist i know i can be.
SO. thats about all i have to say. hope you guys have a good night!

It's completely understandable that you had to pull away from the internet. Some unknown asshole took advantage of you and could have made your life a living hell.
I think the worst part of it all is that it seems nobody you know would have done this. Which makes sites like those more fucked up. Even though posting porn and personal info out of someone for revenge is really REALLY shitty, the idea that there may be some innocent people who did absolutely nothing wrong but get their stuff posted online is horrifying.
It's one of these things that almost makes me wish Judge Dredd existed.
Gah. I'll never have any nude pictures of me taken EVER.
Whoever did that to you, I hope they lose their nutsack in the worst way possible or at LEAST has karma in some way bite them in the arse sooner or later. I know that sounds a little strong, but anyone who has intent to harm people like that in THAT way doesn't deserve any kind of respect. And its even more awful to know that person had to do that to someone who never ever deserved anything like that neither, because you certainly don't deserve that.
At least the pictures and such are now taken down, that's good. But still, don't feel bad if you feel you have to distance yourself online a teensy bit due to this. I mean I've gone through things that've made me distance myself online a bit too and the distance does help out with trying to move on from what made me feel so bad too. So do what you feel is best over this right now.
Sorry to hear you had to go through this, even if the worst on this is (hopefully) behind you now. How ridiculously, soullessly devastating. :< *hugs*
