If you haven't been familiar with the antiwork saga: The mod in question had an obscure post leaked where they confess to rape.
Now, I don't have any rape confessions. But this whole drama is fairly niche (no normal person on the street knows wtf this is about) and someone still had dirt on them.
When I was young and stupid, I may have uploaded some nudes of myself because I liked people calling me pretty. I know that some real-life people also may still have digital copies of them somewhere. Every time someone is ridiculed or cancelled for something that is leaked, it freaks me out because if I ever gained attention for whatever reason, I too have things I'm totally embarrassed about.
Not necessarily. There's so many naked pictures on the internet of so many people you can simply deny its you, unless its one of said real life people, then that's more on them being assholes than it is on you. As long as you don't make a huge deal of it should be survivable, not going to be great if you're say a politician or something, but you can deflect a lot.
