Ehh...looking at the thread, a lot of the top replies pointed out that it would be a bad idea. Top reply even says just to shout out that someone is showing their junk and the OP even replies to those stating it's a bad idea thanking them for letting her know. A lot of other replies are only pointing out the disgusting behavior of the exhibitionist. Granted, there are a lot of people who support it without knowing it's a bad idea, but I still feel you're misrepresenting what's happening over there.
When I first posted this, there were several replies on it (barely an hour in), most of it telling the OP to buy the pepper spray. The replies you mentioned didn't show up until after I already shared it (they're tagged blue when I went back today).
Sure, the succeeding replies eventually gave correct info, but giving bad advice on a "what should I do" thread (especially when it's the initial ones) is terrible/harmful.
Point still stands though that "self defense" on a guy passively showing his dick (that OP claims she was already able to deal with verbally) is just being vindictive and Sonny Parsons level of stupidity.
