It's like creepshots, but for women!

Wow, they have over 1000 creep shots.

TIL, I should wear a dress shirt and leave it untucked, grow my hair out a bit and muss it up, and get some darker skin in my family.

When a man takes a clandestine photo of a woman in public for the purpose of sexual gratification, we call it voyeurism, and we call the police.

When a woman takes a clandestine photo of man for the same purpose, we call it 'tubecrush' and put it in the city newspaper.

This guy was just asking for us to throw the puns at him when he decided to wear this sexy Top Gun tee. We have been pondering our favourite Gun Puns this afternoon – This is what we came up with;

‘pollish your weapon’

‘shoot me with your pistol’

‘why dont you get the gun out of it’s holster’

‘lets get this ting oiled up’

‘we dont want any miss fires’

‘such a thick barrel you’ve got i bet its got a HUGE round in it.’

‘how ‘bout we holster your magnum?”

Please select your favourite from above."

If ANYONE tries to say this isn't the exact same thing as creepshots, that these pictures are just harmless admiring and not in any way objectification, they can refer to this post. I've heard arguments that say the comments in creepshots are all like "oh yeah man I'd like to fuck her" While the comments in tubecrush are just flirtacious and complementary. THIS. IS. THE. SAME. THING.

There is no logic to the perspective that a man admiring a woman is something diabolical, while a woman admiring a man is something pure and wholesome. It is misandry. End of story.

"I saw a very beautiful man on the platform at Brixton. So my friend and I did some tactical boarding, to be in the same carriage as him. But training your camera on someone at an angle, sort of mid-air, while they sit opposite isn't very subtle. As I hit the capture button mid-tunnel, my flash went off in his face. He didn't say anything but we had to get off at the next station - the shame!"

Wow, creepy. Maybe the title of this site should be 'TubeCreep.' The only problem is that everyone would think it applied to the men in the shots and not the women taking them.

I really don't get the outrage about this whole taking a picture of people thing. Seriously people, photographs don't actually take a part of your soul... :P

What is the tangible harm?

Say someone took a photo of me and stuck it up on one of these places. What would happen? Maybe my friends would give me a light ribbing about being "internet famous". Maybe I would be a little weirded out about randoms on the internet drooling over it, but it's not anything they wouldn't do anyway considering they have a biological camera built into their skull...

That's all it seems to be to me. Weird but basically harmless.

ChaplnGrillSgt · 2012-10-12T19:00:04+00:00

If women have tubecrush, then men can have creepshots.

Heck, instead of trying to defend it, why not just admit that every will be objectified?

2012-10-12T23:10:02+00:00

Congratulations, you're a horrible fucking human being for applying such appalling double standards, lady who spoke the quoted sentence!

DavidByron · 2012-10-12T21:53:31+00:00

Hurting men is good.

society constantly judges women on their appearance, so a website like this is just redressing the balance

nathan8999 · 2012-10-12T21:13:20+00:00

20 out of 20 of the top rated pictures are of white men. I'd say they are even worse than creepshots.

2012-10-13T01:21:40+00:00

Woman: Creepshots!

Man: Tubecrush!

Woman: Well, Creepshots is worse because women.

Man: How?

Woman: Something something, patriarchy, male privilege, rape culture.

Man: But..

Woman: PATRIARCHY, MALE PRIVILEGE, RAPE CULTURE!

Every debate regarding tubecrush and creepshots...

nigglereddit · 2012-10-13T14:39:04+00:00

The real give away of the double standard is in plain view:

The site only hosts pictures of men.

ThePigman · 2012-10-13T01:46:41+00:00

I don't see how it' sexist regardless of the target's gender. Fucking intrusive and disrespectful, but not sexist.

meanttolive · 2012-10-13T01:51:10+00:00

If there is uproar about unsuspecting men having their photos being taken in public arenas for women to post, share & discuss online, why was there no such uproar over r/creepshots, especially when r/creepshots included much more sexually graphic photos?

iheartbakon · 2012-10-13T02:39:54+00:00

Womyn are such creeps.

2012-10-13T07:20:47+00:00

this is just like creepshots. what's the difference? i have no problem with either.

with regards to creepshots, if you're not comfortable with someone having a picture of you in a certain outfit, don't wear it to a public place
