It's the appropriation of images without permission or consent that bothers me, especially where it's likely that this appropriation without consent is part of the thrill. I have been PMed on flickr by a turtleneck fetishist and it was...not nice. And also clear that part of this person's thrill was to make me uncomfortable. That is not cool.The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-17613016335609655362011-04-07T05:35:33.000-04:002011-04-07T05:35:33.000-04:00I suppose I'm in the minority with this but I ...I suppose I'm in the minority with this but I have to say...what's the harm of a turtleneck fetish? Or a satin lining fetish? A little unusual, perhaps, but pretty harmless, I should think. Obviously, everyone should have the right to decide where and how images of them/their work appear. So block whoever you want from using your images in ways you're not comfortable with - I support that 100%.<br /><br />But do all of these people favorite-ing images necessarily deserve all this contempt and revulsion?AvaTrimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07351000089253459996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-66591985427212644532011-04-02T04:21:37.899-04:002011-04-02T04:21:37.899-04:00Turtlenecks?

After reading this, I went straight onto Flickr to check who's been favouriting my pics and was alarmed to find I'd been invited to add about 20 of my photos to a group called "Way too pretty to wear pants". In the UK, "pants" means underwear, so I freaked out a bit for about two minutes. But when I investigated further it looked like it could actually be a legit group encouraging women to wear more dresses than trousers (ie. "pants" for Americans). Nevertheless, that's a bit weird too - why can't women look pretty in trousers?! Thanks for alerting me to what's going on, in any case!Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346200271671855136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-12763388315657569072011-03-29T13:16:45.619-04:002011-03-29T13:16:45.619-04:00Thank you for this, it's really useful - I'...Thank you for this, it's really useful - I've recently opened a flickr account.

I checked my account and found someone who's favourited a ton of my photos - but when I click on their profile it was absolutely disgusting!! (Yes, I clicked through even though Flickr warned me it was outside the 'Safe' settings.. ew!) Kind of funny, after viewing the gross profile Flickr has a button that said 'Seen enough? Take me to the kittens!' and literally, it takes you to photos of cute kittens. To buffer the ick factor. <br />Anyways - this is a great bit of info for anyone who posts pics to Flickr!

I haven't blocked someone on flickr before so thanks for the run down. One thing I do is block my photos from searches. Can't prove it helps but at least then anyone who visits them has followed a link to my photo stream vs. just searching "turtleneck" on flickr/google.
