This isn't a cut and dry case of poster's regret. She was bullied and humiliated in Italy for years. Memes, t-shirts, phone cases. Poking fun at her was a national pastime.
So...lets talk about the real reason she killed herself and not be jerks. She was being tormented.
Author Roberto Saviano said the hostility towards Tiziana stemmed from what he described as Italy's "morbid" relationship with sex.
"I grieve for Tiziana, who killed herself because she was a woman in a country where uninhibited and playful sex is still the worst of sins," he wrote on Twitter.
Another commenter suggested that had Tiziana been a man - "if she were called Tiziano" - she would still be alive because men having sex do not attract the same kind of scandalised reaction.
The fact remains this was all self-inflicted on her part. SHE is the one who emailed the video to several other people. What result did she expect?
We only know she sent one to her ex-bf...they haven't said who else...at least not in the 6 articles I read about it. Good behavior? No...no it isn't. Still revenge porn posting isn't ok.
Did she guess she would become a national joke to the point she would need to move, quit her job, change her name?
No...it isn't right. Was she a saint? Did she make all wise choices? No. But it doesn't change that people then went on to post these revenge videos, against her will. And then she became a national joke.
If I leave boxes from a new TV I bought at the trash, and I leave my doors unlocked...do I "deserve" my TV to be stolen just by being careless?
She made a sex tape and then sent it to her ex-boyfriend, and a few other people. She tried to be cruel, she tried to humiliate him, but the whole thing reversed against her, which sounds like karma to me. How the whole thing ended was clearly tragic, but she knew the risks of spreading that kind of material. Once you lose control over a video or image, there's nothing you can do to reclaim control. That's the nature of things in the internet age, we all need to be far more careful.
The people who contributed to the bullying of this woman didn't think of her as a real, live human. She just became fodder for stupid jokes. It's kind of a case of mob mentality... once one person starts laughing and denigrating, others just join in without regard to the actual life they're making miserable. It's a shame and I feel bad that this woman committed suicide. That she was in such mental anguish is really sad.
