[0719] The Dangers Of Sexting
└ posted on Thursday, 17 September 2015, by Novil
- Caption: While the district attorney decided not to press charges against Larisa because of her age and medical history, she has to learn that all actions have consequences.
- School psychologist: I’m very disappointed in you, Larisa.
- School psychologist: Just when I was starting to believe that you had developed some sense of responsibility, I heard your name in the news.
- Larisa: I’m sorry…
- School psychologist: Such acts can destroy not only your own life, but also the lives of many other people!
- School psychologist: Just ask the 47 million SnapPic users who’ve been remanded in custody for the possession of child pornography!

And overnight, Reddit, 4chan, and about 90% of youtube commetors disappear; thus Larisa saves the Internet.
@ MidoriLuna: You can’t save the internet, only survive it.
@ athroughzdude:
The same could be said of Larisa!
…
Ah crap, I made myself feel bad.
Praise our lord and savior, Larisa!
Yikes. Talk about a downer ending.
I guess this is where Goldman Sachs comes in? =)

You think North America is where all the worst internet comments come from? Heh. That’s cute.
Welp, maybe The racoon good lady can come in and save the friend of the owner of her favorite racoon couple. never know. never know
The school psychologist is hawt!…………….I’m sorry, I had to be that guy………………. 😀
So 3 million could resist?
@ Trimutius:
3 million had adequate spam filters.
We’ll need a larger prison…
maybe now we understand the origin of movies like “Escape from New York” : They put everybody with a pic of Larisa on Manhattan and cut the Island from civilization
I don’t think there are even close to enough prison cells in the respective countries to hold all those people. And at one point they’ll probably realise that and only go after those actually having saved the picture.
@ butterbattle:
Weell…
Yeah, you’re right. 😉

Manhattan might be a tiny little bit too small for all those people.
Long Island might work. Still way too small though, if they’re supposed to grow their own food.
@ Lukkai:
you’re forgetting the biggest prison of them all: Australia, there’s enough space there easy
3 plus 10 million in canada and mexico :PP
If SnapPic worked like SnapChat, then they deserved it because they saved it before the program could auto-delete it. If it doesn’t work like that… well, that’s about the same, what about deleting the picture, guys? XD

Ahem a one a two a three *People Bust in holding signs that read WE KNEW IT! WE KNEW IT!* It was coming. WE ALL KNEW IT!
I understand Canada is actually worse about this sort of thing than the US…
@ Lucy:
We won’t let asylum seekers in, do you really think we would take in excess criminals?
After the last strip you though the story was over.
But Novil show us how paranoid everyone has gone at this subject.
Show not easy problems that other not showing, that is what I
like at this webcomic.
@ butterbattle:
Well, she is, don’t feel bad.
So many Australians that don’t seem to know that Australia used to be a penal colony. Quite amusing, if you ask me.
Ouch. Yeah, that would be a consequence.
but didn’t she say that the program had a bug? in which case her sending nudes to every user could hardly be her fault, it would be more the fault of the programmers.
Wait, what would be the charges?
Wow, that’s pretty dark.
It hadn’t even crossed my mind that people would get in trouble over that pic. I sometimes forget that they are that young.
@ rem:
She was using an unofficial plugin. These are usaully experimental in nature and provided “as is” (i.e. programmer holds no responsibility)
@ 1overX:
Probably distributing child pornography, which sounds silly because it’s her but it’s a very real thing.
I don’t get get this strip, why would the 47 million user be arrested?
It’s not like they forced Larisa to be nude in front of the camera and sent it worldwide.
I think their only mistake is because they accidentally saw it. Is that enough to get people arrested?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this were Novil’s response to all the demands for “realistic” legal consequences following from Larisa’s mistake. Well played, sir; well played. I LOLed.
@ NotASpy:
Yes it was a penal colony, but only for petty criminal. For severe crimes a beheading or hanging was easy enough. It was the beggars and the poor who stole to feed their family that would have been imprisoned on australia.
What about the cops with SnapPic accounts?
See! The whole Jared from subway thing was all a big misunderstanding! (It’s a joke, plz don’t remove)
@ Berandal:
In the real world? No.
In the land of things-get-comically-exaggerated-for-the-sake-of-the-joke? Yes.
Wait..so every snapchat user in north america, man woman and child gets arrested for posession of something that they most likely didn’t even want in the first place? Civics is weird.
I love this! People were accusing Novil of just brushing the matter of without any consequences and here is a strip where the consequences are instead unreasonable dire. Actually, the consequences are not only unreasonable dire, they are impossible.
Aww, the School psychologist is cute. Too bad she has no name, which means we’ll never see her again…
Why would the 47 million users be arrested? Wouldn’t an investigation show that the pictures of Larisa were sent out unsolicited?
Interesting, The School Psych is just talking normal and calmly, yet she is causing Larisa to feel quite remorseful. Larisa also knows that the trust that she had been building between her and the SP has been shot down in flames (no pun intended). She has a lot of work ahead of her in regaining that trust.
The Law is an Ass. Unfortunately, people in the Sexual Offenders list, Just having a Sexting picture is enough get them in trouble. Since the time frame is on or about a week. If the picture was still there after they received it, then they were in trouble, if it deleted before then, no problem. (I do not mean saving it to a computer or tablet, the cops know about them too.)
Wow.. 47 million persons actually saved that nude pic.
Oooooooooooooooh, CALLED IT! now every prison in America is going to be overpopulated.
@ Lukkai:
Tower farming?

I’d disagree entirely. I know you’re probably not serious, but the essential premise is that everyone who opened the photo was arrested and send to jail….. and frankly it’s horrifying to imagine how that would apply in real life. I’d get the heck out of here if people sending spam that contained something illegal made me a criminal.
@ NotASpy:
Well, I remember reading somewhere that most of the charges were invented to get rid of, what the British higher society viewed as undesirables. As such the original Australian colony was more “troublemakers” than convicted criminals.
Comic comment; only ever seen Larisa this remorseful on behalf of someone else. I believe that girl to be one of the best people, I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Forty million of those were arrested for havingtheir own naked selfies.
@ Gram91:
You’ve solved the mystery of the three million users who weren’t arrested!
The NSA are working overtime…
