No, you shouldn’t look at nude leaks.  Not of celebrities.  Not of ANYBODY.  This includes sites that fall under the heading of “revenge porn,” even if you don’t accept it as such.

Porn - actual, legal pornography - ostensibly includes something missing from this entire debacle: CONSENT.  When you look at porn that has been sold as porn, usually everyone involved has given their consent to have themselves viewed nude by strangers. (And there’s a whole lot about the “consent” part of porn that can be debated, but that’s an argument for another day … )

Bottom line: if you’re viewing leaked nude photos, you’re looking at someone naked who didn’t consent for you to see them in that manner.  It doesn’t matter if it’s “all over the internet.”  It doesn’t matter if “everyone’s doing it.”  It doesn’t matter if you don’t WANT to be made to feel bad for your curiosity.

It’s exactly the same as if you were looking in these people’s windows.  It’s a violation, and while the pictures are out there it is not and should never be condoned.  For the love of Christ, there are literally *thousands* of women out there you can look at nude for free, who have given their consent for you to do so … but you’re upset that you can’t look at the pictures of a handful who don’t want you to?

Your behavior is bad and you should feel bad, end of story.
