this is becoming so prevalent that I have to wonder at what point might society think that sextorsion has no power over people?

I’m thinking of this as similar to a ransomware blackmail/extorsion scam

this could also not come about, just thought to put this out there for people to criticize/comment on

I think the stigma around sex/sexuality is still so prevalent in our society that it will continue to be a big deal. For it to really lose power, the acceptance of sex and open sexuality needs to become ubiquitous in the culture and society.

  yeah I can see that being one of the biggest hurdles in order for sextortion to lose the most power

  I agree.
  
  With conservatives currently dismantling/disincentivizing sex education in Canada and America, it’s unfortunately not going to happen this year
