I just imagine the scenario of Gawker being the outlet that leaked the "Fappening" and seeing everyone currently defending Gawker turn an about face. In reality, what they did to Hulk Hogan was more or less, the same, possibly worse than what several women in the Fappening went through.

Do people actually defend the Fappening? I mean, I expect they are happy it happened, but that they know, deep down, that it was wrong. Kind of like peeking at your neighbor undressing through the curtains or what not.

Am I being too optimistic again?

Few people outside of 4chan proactively defend the happening, but many people were celebrating the leaking of the hulks sex tape

Gawker defended posting Hogan's sex tape even when a judge told them to take it down, AND also condemned people for the fappening. Hypocrisy at its finest.
