Reacting strongly to receiving the genitals of a stranger who is statistically likely to be stronger than you and probably able to pin you down without too much

Reacting strongly to receiving the genitals of a stranger who is statistically likely to be stronger than you and probably able to pin you down without too much trouble is not paranoia.
It's one thing to send empty death threats online. It's another to push your genitals on someone who's within 30 feet of you (AirDrop's range). This is the last thing that I'd want to receive at night while commuting in a dirty bus or while walking back home in the dark alone.
Yes, disabling the feature is a solution. However, I'll bet that most people are not aware that they have it on or don't suspect that it can be a vector of attack.
The problem here is people abusing of the system. Don't blame the victim for it. If anything, blame Apple for not explaining the feature better or for a not allowing to keep the feature to "everyone" and disable image previews.

Criminalizing this will stop neither trolls nor rapists. The former because it's almost impossible to tell who did it, the latter because they're rapists.
