My best bet is a certain generation of people in the US who grew up shielded and learning to react with outrage and emotional breakdowns to absolutely anything outside their narrow comfort zone.
Not even their children, who grew up with access to the internet and thus unfiltered humanity, can take them serious on these issues.
But I guess it makes someone happy and it's too late to change some people anyways. This restriction doesn't really impair anyone fundamental rights and it's a minor annoyance at worst. What gives?

This is a possibility. Somehow I doubt this will make any difference though. You don't stop creeps by taking away a random thing when there's millions of other ways.
>Men's inboxes just aren't constantly getting filled with unsolicited nudes, and those that are received rarely cause men to feel concerned that it could lead to real aggravated sexual assault.
I have several drag queen friends and friends that work/perform in gay clubs, simply commenting on their posts causes me to get 1-2 unsolicited dick picks (or worse, spread cheeks for example) a month on average from friends of theirs or people that simply follow them. I am not gay, I am not interested in penises, I did not ask for them. I report every single one.
