Down with Upskirting: The End of Old School Perversions?

    Seeing how this upskirting is soon to be outlawed I was wondering if this was yet another nail in the coffin for real world perverts?

    Recently there was a thread about the public masturbator but, on the whole, people seemed dismissive of it. I, personally, would have that as a higher offence, along with the bus groper.

    The upskirting would be a lower offence but higher than the, what I’ve heard described as, victimless crimes such as saddle sniffing or pinching underwear off of clothes lines. You’d think unwashed ones would be a more attractive option but I guess they’d be hard to procure.

    What do you think of such laws? Could they even cover the old trick of giving the tips of your shoes a good polish, or even attaching mirrors, so you can get a look up a lady’s skirt? Although without a record of the event I doubt it could be prosecuted, wouldn’t even be covered by GDPR.

    I figured asking on here would be a good place to find out what people think as a number of users on here seem to be the type who’d engage in such sweaty nonsense. Fat neckbeards sitting at home all day with the curtains drawn, watching hours of voyeuristic porno clips, “sharking” videos and hacked webcams.

    I, myself, don’t see how anyone could get their kicks from it. I’d be far more interested in what’s beyond the knickers. I think a law like this can only be seen as a good thing but maybe a stay in a mental health facility might better suit the “perp” as opposed to a stretch in prison.

    I think ‘real world’ perverts are a dying breed to be honest, Emmet. Saddle sniffing is widely considered a victimless crime, and right at the bottom of the pervert checklist. But that started to die out when people started driving instead of cycling to mass. A lad would often leave mass after communion and head outside for a good sniff of the saddle of the bicycle of the bird he fancied. Just doesn’t happen anymore.

    “Pinching” underwear from clotheslines is theft.

    Sure what about the lad in the shoe shop sniffing the shoes. Dirty fekrs always find a way to get off victimless or not.

    Yeah, the “Dublin Bike Scheme” certainly put an end to that sort of carry on in the Capital. You couldn’t be sure who’d been on it last or that the scent hadn’t be diluted by some other sweaty arse.

    Along with the “park flasher” it really is an odious act.

    Wonder will the new law also apply to upkilting. To tackle the likes of this:

    There was a lad in our town years ago called Mickey ‘Lugs’ McMahon. He was caught by the cops with 38 pairs of stolen knickers that he robbed from a clothesline in the convent boarding school on the outskirts of town. Didn’t get jail time, but very much a pariah around town afterwards.

    For someone who doesn't see any thrill in it, you seem to have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject.

    The modern-day park flasher flashes a syringe and "asks" you for a donation to his drug habit.

    There's something sneaky about upskirting that puts it up there with public masturbation and groping imo.

    I'm not trying to downplay the latter two, not by any stretch, but the potential around upskirting is horrendous and the victim in most cases has no way of knowing about or stopping it.

    Presumably he's now known as Mickey 'Tugs' McMahon?

    What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.

    I should point out that “down blousing” will also be included as a crime, although I don’t believe it will apply to male victims.

    He’s long dead. Rumour has it he was found by a neighbour with a cucumber shoved up his ass and Busty Grannies 7 playing on the VCR.

    What eclectic taste in women he had. From boarding school girls to busty grannies.

    RIP.

    Bordering on the scurrilous, DL. I have never engaged in any upskirting, downblousing or sharking (neither Japanese nor European).

    You can be sure any skirt I’ve been up, or blouse I’ve been down, has all be consensually. I don’t get off on “fringe” or “niche” perversions.

    The fact that revenge porn and up skirting is not outlawed in Ireland still… Mind boggling.

    The internet age has changed the profile of perverts. The days of flashers, clothesline raiders and lad looking in windows seems to be numbered and is instead replaced by upskirters and pin hole cameras in jacks.

    The only constant is that the parties involved are still sick cnuts.

    Ive no problem with laws combatting these weird sadsacks and hope they are enforced but mental health issues, addictions, bad upbringing, didn't have an Xbox will always trump the greater good.

    High quality thread.

    It's the nostalgic tone that draws me in.

    Also, somebody needs to tell me what sharking videos are because I'm afraid to google it. I'm assuming it's not National Geographic stuff.

    It's running up a woman in public, pulling her top to expose her breasts and filming it.

    Swear to god, I know that from 30 Rock.

    Ah right. Sexual assault, so!

    I'm a little disappointed that it's nothing to do with sharks.

    In that case I was once shown a sharking video on the train. By a stranger and without requesting it.

    Train and bus stations are still popular hang out for your garden variety pervert. It is the one constant in this fast changing world.

    That’s the “Japanese” version, yes.

    Cripes. *blanches*
    I thought I was pretty well informed but I'd never even heard of that.
    What an absolutely horrible thing to do.
