You don’t realize that what you’re watching is trauma. A digital scar that never fades
These folders are crimes. They’re trauma archives. They are evidence of betrayal, misogyny, and emotional abuse
There’s a silent pandemic going around, and no, it’s not COVID-19. It’s digital, it’s cruel, and it’s built on the shame and suffering of innocent girls across this country. It’s happening in your WhatsApp groups. In your Telegram chats. In private DMs. It’s happening when boys send links to MEGA folders titled “Kandy Girls” or “Colombo party” like they’re sharing Spotify playlists.
You laugh. You click. You download.
You don’t realize that what you’re watching is trauma. A digital scar that never fades. A private moment that someone trusted you with, now passed around like cheap gossip in a tuk tuk queue.
We need to talk about porn leaks.
No, not some OnlyFans scandal. I’m talking about real girls. Your ex. Your classmate. Your sister’s friend. Girls who shared something private with someone they trusted. And now, it’s in a folder. Being shared in bulk. With timestamps. With names. With school or university mentioned.
It’s horrifying. And what’s worse; it’s normalized.
A Folder Full of Pain
These folders are not “funny.” They’re not “boys being boys.” They’re not “just entertainment.” These folders are crimes. They’re trauma archives. They are evidence of betrayal, misogyny, and emotional abuse.
Do you know what it feels like for a girl to wake up one morning to find out she’s been “leaked”? It’s not just embarrassment. It’s paranoia. It’s losing her dignity without even being in the room. It’s knowing that no matter how much she explains or justifies, someone will always call her “that girl from the video.”
This is someone’s daughter. Someone’s girlfriend. And before you laugh at that folder link again, ask yourself: what if that was your sister?
Would it still be a joke?
Sending Is Not the Crime. Leaking Is.
Let’s clear one thing up: sending a nude or an intimate video to someone you trust is not illegal. Nor is it immoral. People in relationships express love and intimacy in different ways. But violating that trust by forwarding that video? Sharing that link? Keeping it saved to “review later”? That’s the actual crime.
It’s not the girl who’s wrong for trusting. It’s the person who broke that trust.
We love to slut-shame. We love to blame the victim. “Why did she send it in the first place?” they’ll ask. But no one questions the one who shared it. No one arrests the guy who posted it. No one blocks the group admin who’s letting this content spread.
Instead, we punish the girl. With silence. With judgment. With trauma.
The Internet Never Forgets
Here’s the most heartbreaking part: you can’t erase this kind of digital pain. Once something’s leaked; it’s there forever. She could change her phone number, move cities, even change her name. But the internet remembers. Someone will always remember.
These girls live in constant fear of being recognised. Of losing job opportunities. Of being rejected in marriage proposals. Of being labelled “loose” or “attention-seeking” or worse.
She never signed up for this. But now she’s stuck with it, because a few keyboard cowboys thought forwarding a link made them men.
It doesn’t.
The Boys’ Club Is Not Cool Anymore
Boys, listen up.
You think sharing that video makes you cool? You think forwarding that folder makes you part of the inner circle?
You’re not cool. You’re not powerful. You’re part of the problem.
A real man protects a woman’s privacy. He doesn’t exploit it.
A real man calls it out when he sees it. He doesn’t forward it.
If your friends are sharing these folders, call them out. If your WhatsApp group has this content, leave. If you’re laughing at leaked videos, remind yourself that you’re only a bad breakup away from doing the same thing to someone you once loved.
And if you’re saving these links “just to see” - delete them. Today. You don’t need them. You don’t own them. And you definitely don’t deserve access to them.
To the Girls Who’ve Been Leaked
To every girl reading this who has been a victim of this disgusting trend; I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve this. Your pain is real. Your shame is not yours to carry.
What they did to you was not your fault. You are more than a video. You are not a folder. You are not a link. You are a human being.
And I promise you, there are people who care. There are people who will stand up for you. Speak out. Get help. Report it.
You may have lost your privacy, but don’t lose your voice.
Let’s Change the Culture
We need to talk about digital consent.
We need to educate boys early, not when it’s too late.
We need to raise sons who respect boundaries and daughters who are not ashamed of their past. We need school curriculums to talk about this.
We need social media companies to act faster.
We need parents to listen, not scold.
This isn’t just about leaked videos. This is about a culture that profits off the shame of women. That turns betrayal into content. That protects perpetrators and blames survivors.
Enough is enough.
From The No BS Marketer To You
I might be a marketer by profession, but today I’m writing not to promote a brand, but to protect our girls. If we can use our platforms to sell, let’s also use them to save. Awareness is the first step. Action must follow.
If you have a platform; speak up. If you’re in a group chat with this content, report it. If you know someone who’s been affected; support them. Not with silence, but with strength. Let’s build a world where girls don’t wake up afraid of being “the next leak.” Let’s make sure this country doesn’t confuse entertainment with exploitation. And most importantly, let’s stop acting like this is normal.
Because it isn’t.
Not now. Not ever.
