You shouldn't have worn that short skirt!

Sounds a lot like a "they're asking for it"-type argument.

There's a difference between merely existing in public, versus vying for attention in a venue where several brands of "aim this at a patron to see them in a bikini" machines are installed.

The CSAM machine is only a recent addition.

And you thought that was a different argument than "you shouldn't have worn that skirt if you didn't want to get raped"?

And so installing the "aim this at a patron to see them in a bikini" machines made the community vastly more hostile to women. To the point where people say "well what did you expect" when a woman uses the product. Maybe they shouldn't have been installed?

They weren't placed there by God.
