What's so bad about a code reviewer which starts sending you dick pics compared to a code reviewer which starts sending you cat pics? They're both a waste of time.

While one might be an annoying waste of your time, the other is not only annoying, but quite possibly illegal as well. I leave it to you to figure out which is which.

  What's so illegal in some dick pics?
  - drivingmenuts 10y ago
    Send one to a person under the age of 18 and I'm sure the prosecution, the judge and possibly your eventual roommate might be willing to explain it in ways that make you regret ever asking that question.

The thing that's so bad about dick pics is people don't like them. And what better reason for something being bad could there be?
- ciupicri 10y ago
  Not people, just some people. Also there are people who don't like cats.

    Would you believe I've just spent 25 minutes trying to figure out how to respond to this, and I still don't know. I suppose that means you win.

Dick pics fall into the category of "unwanted sexual advances", which is a form of harassment.
- ciupicri 10y ago
  I guess some people could see it that way given the donglegate scandal, but it can't be harassment if it's not repeated. And if something is to be repeated, then lots of things can be used besides dick pics.

    > it can't be harassment if it's not repeated Pretty sure there are a LOT of women who would strongly disagree.

      No, it's just annoying or a simple threat if it's one time only. From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass (emphasis mine): > Simple Definition of harass: to annoy or bother (someone) in a constant or repeated way; to make repeated attacks against (an enemy).

        "sexual harassment" is a term with its own specific definition, which is not precisely a naïve combination of the simplest common definitions of "sexual" and "harassment".

      Not only women... I totally feel harassed when someone sends me a dick pick

    > but it can't be harassment if it's not repeated. Incorrect. Sexual harassment doesn't require repeated conduct, though repeated conduct is more likely to be harassment (both because it is more likely to create a hostile environment simply because of the pervasiveness, and because it is more likely that the actor will be in a position where they should reasonably have known that it was unwelcome.)
