#Boislockerroom: This Instagram group is misusing girl’s pictures to spread rape culture:
Twitterati is bursting in flames over an Instagram group of teenage boys. The group names “’Bois Locker Room” have recently come to light. This raises questions about the safety and security of women and underage girls on the photo and video sharing platform.
The group is run by a set of young boys from South Delhi who shares pictures of women, many of them minors, without their permission on the group. These pictures are then subjected to lusty comments, slut-shaming and body shaming.
The group was exposed by some women on Instagram who has for the past two days addressed the issue with the members of the group, lawyers, and security agencies.
An Instagram user exposed the group on the social media site. She stated that the group has been active for quite some time and was full of underage women, many of whom had no idea that their images were being used.
When some women started to threaten the members of the group with action, they in return threatened to leak their nude photos. None of the photos or images in possession of the group were given to them by consent.
Check out some screenshots:
‘Bois Locker Room’ also had a second support group containing women members as well.
The posts about the group went viral and many people joined the outrage against the group. People claimed that they were propagating and normalizing rape culture apart from being downright illegal due to its child-pornographic undertones is also invasive of privacy.

STOP TEACHING YOUR DAUGHTERS TO BEHAVE WELL IN PUBLIC AND COME HOME BEFORE ITS DARK OUTSIDE, INSTEAD TEACH YOUR SONS NOT TO BE A FUCKSTURD AND PRIORITIZE ON REMINDING THEM THAT THEY CAME OUT OF A WOMAN’S BODY AND BEHAVE LIKE SO! #boislockerroom

ANYBODY WHO JUSTIFIES SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS ALSO EQUALLY UNETHICAL AND BLAMEWORTHY AS SOMEONE WHO DOES IT. #boislockerroom

I have texted Mr. Rakshit Tandon, who works for cybersecurity after seeing all these stories on every persons account. I suggest everyone do the same. We are encountering cyber bullying, and this is the right way to go. Posting stories won’t do much.#boislockerroom pic.twitter.com/EZAlDZuEvu

Nobody blames the whole gender, we are blaming the majority of it. Just because 20% of men are good doesn’t make the #boislockerroom scene any better. Why are you offended at that? If you are not predatory, you were included in ‘men are trash’ narrative :)) https://t.co/ZC3In33bAZ

somebody needs to contact all the parents and tell them exactly what kind of stupid these boys are this is not what they are supposed to do ask their parent’s how to raise their child , and how not to. #boislockerroom pic.twitter.com/2Pl43Kpc8r

That Audacity to use ‘But’ after the word ‘Rape’ shows how clearly you have no idea of what it is.#boislockerroom

Whether someone else made you do it or others are to blame…
it was still wrong to be pushed into it when you knew it was wrong.

Disgusted to the gut reading about #boislockerroom This is a high time of creating some accountability by taking action against these kids. High time that such people regardless of the age are brought to light and taught a lesson to make a safe society for women.

People are urging Delhi Police to take some strict action against this. The tweets and posts on the internet have gained enough attention and some people of the group have been identified. According to the latest updates, some members have been arrested under section 66A of the IT Act for cyberbullying. Apparently one teen has been caught today and the ths police are looking for others.
But thefthe stark reality is how and why teenage boys have such thinking? What is wrong!
