Is this how we should handle Dick Pics?

[mecegirl]

.. That sounds like a waste of time. Sure the person sending such a picture is open for punishment if their wife / family / friends found out, but why would you go to such lengths to humiliate them? Granted, I get her reason so people harass her less, but that's the thing. Isn't she giving them attention by purposely seeking them out? If she simply ignored and deleted the pics, no one could muster the determination patience to keep harassing her after some time.

If they do, and it gets personal- just block their number. Or call the police ... something like that. Not sure if what she's doing is either right or wrong, but man that's such a waste of time. You could be doing far more productive or efficient to your life, that'll actually help you out in the long run.

Did you read the article?

She says the number of pics she's gotten has gone down because of this. The opposite of what you're saying.

I highlighted my original words in bold, to simply say- yea ... I did lol. I stand by what I said and despite that she's getting less dick pictures, it still seems like a waste of time trying to find these men, get em into trouble along with humiliation, and repeat this whenever the next guy tries pulling this stunt.

I'm not against her doing this, but I just think it'd be better to ignore the messages. It'd be like if I tried finding every person who has insulted me on a video game (like League of Legends). Even if I successfully got them in trouble, and showed their loved ones / family what filth they sprung on me, what do I personally gain? I could of been doing other things to make my time worth spent but if she wants to do that- i'm cool with it.

No. The whole unwanted nudity musses up your comparison a lot. This is flashing just over electronic devices. And flashing is a crime for a reason. No one needs to see all that just randomly. No one would tell a woman who just got flashed to just ignore it. It is sexual harassment after all. But like lil devils said, the laws haven't caught up with the technology. If anyone is gonna do something about it it would have to be her. It is working, and it is her time being spent, not yours.

There are like two threads today on one of the the subreddits I go to about women's responses to dick pics.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TrollXChro.../guy_sends_me_dick_pic_i_sent_it_to_his_wife/
https://www.reddit.com/r/TrollXChro..._thanks_to_ucoolstuff00012_i_now_have_my_new/

*Sigh* Maybe this WILL be remembered as the "Era of Rampant Dick Pics" after all. It is a bit ridiculous it is as bad as it is.

Add another one to the list...Kinda funny that I find three on the same day, but this is a women centric subreddit so maybe that's why it pops up so much.

Yes, you bolded the part that doesn't indicate you actually read it and that pretty much contradicts the rest of what you said, which actually made me curious as to how much thought you had put into the conclusion.

For example, the idea came from the fact that an offender literally tagged his girlfriend in virtually every photo. So...lots of time involved? Not really.

People are acting like this is a Herculean effort. It's probably not for most people. FFS, last week I was dealing with someone concerned with security and privacy, and his profile linked to a Facebook page. This is how little thought people put into security most of the time. Someone earlier asked if you'd give out your bank account, but people often give out their home addresses, or leave them one click away. People sending dick pics aren't special.

I sense hostility in your voice (near the end at least) so I apologize if I offended you in anyway. I'll leave the topic now, since it seems too heated for my tastes, but I will say this- please ... if someone has a different opinion or feels differently, do express yourself civilly. While I do agree with some of your points, the way you came off is going to not work with everyone.

Seriously? You're taking umbrage because someone in a situation of systemic harassment is too upset for you? You're tone policing victims, and you somehow think this is the high ground?

No hostility. You act like I was cursing in every sentence. And no offense was taken. I'm just not beating around the bush, something that I don't think people do too often. We try a bit too hard to be speak softly, even when the situation is cut and dry. I don't think you connected the dots when you made your comparison so I pointed that out. What do you expect me do do about that? The situations are simply not comparable, so it stands to reason that the more severe situation is taken more seriously.

So basically you say you won't insult me, and then insult me because I am opposed to doxxing, harassment and defamation.

No. I am a very literal person, sheppie, and what I said is what I meant. There is no insult in being sick, nor shame in getting help. And, at the risk of alienating you further, please do stop to think for a moment about how the sentence I just quoted is another example of exactly the thing I'm talking about: You are angry, so you ignore everything I said and try to make it mean something else, as if you cannot understand the difference between your reaction and my intention.

I know this is hard advice to take from someone you consider an enemy, but I don't consider you an enemy, sheppie. If I exhort you to take care of yourself, it's because I'm well aware you're the only person who can do it, and no one else can do it for you.

It is not an insult to state the obvious. If you think it is an insult to not know much about women, maybe you should learn more about them before making ridiculous statements about why women do things.

If you do not understand that sending unsolicited dick pics is a form of harassment, maybe you do need to talk about it with someone. You should not be entitled to impose that upon others, and just as with any other crime, the person that was imposed upon has a right to address the person doing so. The perpetrator is not entitled to " hide" from the public after doing these things to people. If people do not want others to find out what they do, don't do these things to others.

There is no agreement in "privacy" when you send people things they did not ask for. Once they send the pictures to someone without that person agreeing to keep them private, the person receiving them is under no obligation to do so. They can give them to the police, their boss, their neighbors, or news reporters if they so wish at that point.

I looked it up and in Finland you'd have to report dick pics as harassment which is "practically never" done. Telling mom/SO actually sounds like a fun way to deal with it especially since it seems to work. It's probably easier than the legal process too.

Why do I need to say anything?

Since you're the one who keeps talking to me to tell me you won't talk to me or you don't need to talk to me, I guess you need to say something in order to feel like you're winning a fight, either against me as your specific enemy or against public perception of your arguments.

in my penultimate reply I made it clear that this is pointless but you kept putting words in my mouth

Got it. Models are whores because you watched a documentary on hand models, then.

It's not me carrying this shit show on, this is just a reply to set things straight.

 

[JimB]

So what do you imagine I should tell the doctor?

Tell him that you believe appearing in an advertisement is the same thing as sending someone a dick pic and that appearing in an advertisement is the same thing as soliciting dick pics.

Tell him you do not perceive a difference between appearing in a clothing advertisement and providing sexually explicit imagery of your genitals.

Tell him you think a model specifically hopes to make you masturbate.

 

[Erttheking]

This reminds me of the time that a woman got a rape threat so she called the kid's parents. It's absolutely hilarious.

EDIT: Hive mind? Back in my day we called it "Having an unpopular opinion." I mean I disagree with that thread where the majority of posters seem to say that having loli porn is ok. Does that mean I'm not just an outlier but that I'm actually fighting against the hive mind?

 

[JonnyHG]

This is fantastic. Never understood why significant others were never notified.

 

[Malpraxis]

The mere visage of my penis is glorious, and I'm sure my coworkers, friends and family would be proud and congratulate me if she did that.

Unfortunately, I don't send dick pics. Women don't deserve to see it without putting any effort on their part.

 

[Charli]

Yes. Anyone regardless of gender should get their comeuppance if they send unwanted sexual provocation toward an unsuspecting victim.

 

[IceForce]

Well, since I've been inundated with replies to this(as in, I now have an entire page of my "quoted" part of my inbox on this), I'm just going to use this as a general reply.

I will no longer go against the apparent hivemind of these forums out loud. It's honestly too much trouble to voice your opinion without being attacked anymore once a thread has attracted one section of morals/politics/etc and you do not hold the same values/opinion/etc.

Call me a raging man-child that quit in response or whatever the insult of the week is, but I'm personally done with this topic. Too much annoyance for too little gain. Much like anyone that says this should be the new standard.

Have to say, I'm pretty darn amused at the irony of this post. Because not so long ago, -- not so long ago at all, -- *I* was the one who was "going against the hivemind" of this forum in a certain particular megathread. In fact, I distinctly remember you, Redryhno, being there.

I can only imagine the mockery and ridicule I would've received if I had've made a post like this in that thread.

How does one get in position to be sent dick picks anyway?

Step 1.) Sign up for any online dating platform with a female user name.
Step 2.) Wait.
Step 3.) Dicks.

Aw jeez, I imagine the result would be something like this:
