Hello, friends - I hope you're all well. In the last two weeks or so, pictures from my LPSG gallery have been posted all over the internet. Some private images have also appeared online. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of this right away. I've spent a lot of time trying to deal with this problem. As far as I can tell, all the private images have now been removed - which was my main concern. Some of the LPSG pictures remain. I was confused about the 'leak' of the private images for a while, but without naming anyone, I knew that very few people had access to those images. I confronted the most obvious suspect and as expected, they had posted the images online several months ago. I can't say I'm happy about that, but it didn't cause any problems until two weeks ago - when the pictures were stolen (for the second time). As a result, I've received several messages regarding my 'internet antics'. Using my pictures, someone has been trolling all over the internet.
The person/people that stole them always described the 'anonymous' man in the pictures as arrogant and cocky etc. Or, they would be uploaded by someone named 'hugeginormousman' or something similar. I suspect it's more than one person responsible, but I doubt I'll ever know for sure. I want to let you all know that if someone using my pictures on another site is behaving in a cocky manner, making racist comparisons, using homophobic and sexist language or generally being nasty - it isn't me. I don't know if they were trying to portray me in a negative way, or just like to troll using my pictures - but they've certainly made an effort to saturate forums and image sites with their rubbish.
Unfortunately, as a result of that saturation and the nature of the internet - I doubt that I've found every image. The person that originally posted the images, used a Tumblr blog - named after their nickname for me. They wanted to 'share me with the world'. As a result, hundreds of blogs on Tumblr have at least one of my images, re-blogged from the original blog that was created as a misguided tribute. I'm now in control of that blog. I considered deleting the images from there, but the hundreds of re-blogged images would still remain. By remaining in control of the 'source' blog, I'll be able to see where the pictures are posted and confirm that the pictures there belong to ManofThunder and no-one else. However, I've been careful to remove or disguise all the private images. Although it's pretty harmless now, I won't publicly name or link to the blog - I might tell a few people via PM.
If you think you've seen one of my pictures (from LPSG or not) somewhere online, please let me know. Most of you wouldn't be able to identify the private images, but if you have any suspicions - feel free to send me a PM. Thank you. :smile: ManofThunder, signing out.
