I think it’s amazing that fans have come to Chris Evans’s defense re: the whole accidental nude leak situation. I love seeing fans not only discourage sharing and searching his nudes, but actively posting other photos of the actor to quickly drown the nudes out.
But I want to highlight one thing. Because I see a lot of people exclaiming over how he’s a great person who doesn’t deserve this.
Yes, it’s true that Chris Evans is by all accounts a great person. However. Being a great person is not the reason he “doesn’t deserve” to have his photos shared without his permission. The reason he doesn’t deserve that is he is a human being and deserves the basic respect of not being violated and objectified.
Even if he was just an average okay person, hell…even if he was an objectively bad person, he would still deserve to be given this incredibly basic level of consideration and respect.
So like. This is good! Defend him. Discourage searching and sharing of his nudes.
But do it for everyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, now and always. Because it’s not the Chris Evans of it all that matters here. It’s that this is a human being who deserves our basic respect, just like every single actor before him whose nudes have ended up online.
