"If society robs women of their rights to bodily autonomy and self-expression based on the actions of rapists – even if it does so with the best intentions in the world – then society is practically doing the work of rapists for them."

Well said.

Luckily https://www.omegle.com/ has the exact same text, it's the actual source, and it works fine on mobile.

What a bummer... This site was so cool. Prone to misuse of course but cool nonetheless. Sad to read the reasoning behind closing this one off.
