Arama They Didn't

LOL, how about instead of that, you teach your idols to sit properly or use longer skirts? 8D

im disgusted.
fuck anyone who suggests that this is in any way goo hara's fault cuz ur dumb as shit.

Not to sound like a victim-blamer {because perverts are disgusting and need to fuck off, in all honesty}, but I was always taught that if you're wearing a skirt, you should sit cross-legged to avoid the panty-flash. Especially if you're wearing a shorter skirt. {In other words, wear what you want and be happy, but be aware that perverts do exist and if you don't want to be exposed like that, take measures yourself to make sure it doesn't happen.} Either way, I hope her company is able to get retribution for this. :/

This is seriously me not doing the victim blaming thing, and me really just kind of confused, but I'm at a loss as to how this could really be a court case? I mean, it's not like the cameraman stuck his camera up Goo Hara's skirt. Yes, what they did was tacky and really just disgustingly unnecessary, but they took a picture of a public event and zoomed in. To me, this is basically the same as any of those cameramen in any performance that see females (sometimes adults, sometimes NOT) and zooming in on their asses when they're wearing tiny shorts or something, and that happens plenty of times without anyone caring. I just... I don't know, I'm kind of at a loss. I've been disgusted by plenty of things that happen in the Japanese entertainment industry (and in the Korean one too) when no one else really seemed to give a damn.

And just thinking about poor Goo Hara amidst all this, I can't help but feel like all this attention a court case would give to her... I just think it would be better if people let her move on and live her life without continuing to draw attention to this.

(Again, I'm very sorry if anything in here offends anyone, as I'm truly trying not to. I'm just confused.)

fucking pervs!!!!poor girl :(

i have a feeling this wont go n e where tho....

wow the comments here.
and tbh I'd like to see them winning this, if they can.
I mean this is like taking a bad shoot, it's even in public event.
plus this magazine has been doing this since forever, I don't think anyone can escape from this.
this has to be stopped, yes, but technically this isn't illegal, just saying.

How Goo Hara's sitting or dressed isn't the problem here. I'm fed up with people saying women should have to do this and that in order to prevent these things from happening (not just this case, but in general)... you know what would make this actually stop? Making the men stop. Because by saying that women ~should have known better~ really only lets the men off the hook.

Are ppl here actually saying this is the girl's fault for wearing a skirt? -_-

smh @ ppl immediately comparing an upskirt shot to rape. Not every "Girl's fault" thing is comparable to rape, just so you know. Duuuuumb.

Are people even aware of the fact HARA DOES NOT PICK HER OUTFIT HERSELF?

Idk but what are all the "she should have prevented this, she's wearing the skirt"s and the "she called it on herself in the #1 most perverted country!"s. I find it very similar to victim blaming, tyvm.

Some of the people in this post look so stupid. Keep digging a deeper hole for yourselves dearies.

nvr stop victim blaming and screaming troll when someone points out you're wrong, arama

At this point, I don't even know what to think. If I say one thing, people attack. If I say another, people attack. I thought opinions were opinions, you know, things that aren't necessarily true, but are just what people believe. Who are we to judge what opinion is right or wrong? If that's what they think, let them be (unless it's something on the topic of "rape/murder/suicide/any other really sensitive topic you can think of").

Another thing, why does everyone get so vicious over the internet? Just because we're anonymous doesn't mean that the people we talk to aren't real people or people who don't have feelings. Seriously, some of the people in this post can get real vicious real fast if someone goes against their opinion. Why? Because that opinion is "wrong"?

I just . . . Can't people be nice anymore? Is it so hard to have a simple conversation without having to insult others? You don't have to agree with them, but you don't have to be rude if you don't either.

I've had people attack me for my opinions, too, and I've told people they were "wrong" for believing what they believe. But I'm trying something new. It's called "civility". Anyone wanna join?

Sadly, I get the feeling someone's bound to attack me for this, saying something like, "Oh look at you, Goody-Two Shoes, preaching to everyone blahblahblah, get off your high horse bitch." :/

/soapbox rant (again)

Sorry about the long post. orz

DSP looking to take legal action against magazine

Uh-oh~~ Someone's in trouble~~

wow the comments in this post
idontwanttoliveonthisplanetanymore.jpg

poor hara. ):

and enough with the victim blaming, it isn't cute.

Ok..wow..the victim blaming.......yeah..

Anyway this won't go any where. I mean since there's alot of tabloid newspaper that do these kind of upskirt shot and it's just her thigh, the most they can do is get an apology maybe and some promotion because of the scandal.

Poor Hara :\
I hope this will just blow over quick and we can just move on....reading the comments on the article on AKP make me want to punch something.

Well, well. Didn't expect this post to get blown out of proportion so fast.

smh at the victim blaming in this post. i hope you realise the issue at hand is that people are compromising basic morals and ethics to be publishing such photos, not that hara didn't cross her legs at an event.

yup, sue them and make them pay, perverts...

whether or not she's sitting with her legs close or open, they have no right to make a zoom in blow up on the front of their magazine of her crotch...period.

this happens in HK entertainment all the time but you don't see them celebs or their companies suing the magazines for that >_>

whatever floats their boat...

I don't see DSP winning the case, tbh (those who do are being a little too idealistic). Things like this happen pretty often and no one gets in trouble for it. The magazine doesn't get in trouble and gets more publicity.

Do people expect her to sit "cross-legged" for the WHOLE duration of the event?? She's not some sort of robot who can stay in the same position, heck I change the way I sit every 5 minutes as it's hard staying in a same position. Girl should be able to move around if she wants!!

And this "crotch shot" is really embarrassing for the magazine it's nowhere near "crotch shot" and not as bad as some of the shots of celebs in Hollywood

Poor goohara

Too bad DSP won't win the case.
