There is definitely a 10 minute comedy routine, but @Dave's not here so all I can do is give you a bit more context.
So, along with the unsolicited dick pic, I've seen far too much of their life over the past many years. While they were dating, they cheated on each with other coworkers. They were, obviously, on and off again, a very rocky relationship. And then they got married. And then they spent a fortune on getting pregnant.
And then they got divorced.
And I still work with both of them.
If I had reported the pic as harassment, maybe I would've got at least one of them fired, and thus saved myself from watching that train wreck.
I'm not sure why this is treated differently than a flasher on the street. People ITT are pretty blase' about committing sexual harassment/assault/indecent exposure/not sure what the exact laws are in different places, but it's still a really fucked up thing to do.
But then you would probably have to hear the extrapolated story from the remaining one, in excruciating detail, and on continuous repeat as well (as they'll tell it again to every coworker who hasn't heard everything yet)..
I assume it's because dick pics are point-to-point and has at most one unwilling recipient, while flashing is broadcast, and could have any number of unwilling recipients.

Well, perhaps not exactly that, but more along the lines of a text/pm is considered to be "in private" whereas a flasher does his thing "in public."
There are rarely laws for flashing specifically, most of the flashers are charged under "public decency" type laws, which wouldn't apply to person to person private communications.
So one would have to report these types of images as sexual harassment, but those laws are generally tied to employment, so they would be hard to prosecute in such cases.
We would need new laws, or to find a law which suitably applies. Perhaps the laws designed to track down and prosecute people who called random numbers and sexually harassed women (in the days before caller ID) could apply.

This Denbrought's-Facebook-activity-to-Gasbandit-posts pipeline is ever so slightly strange.
Worth reading the comments/discussion in the post, not just the header, y'all.

He conveniently leaves out the part where the guy never clues in why what he did in the first place was wrong or that he constantly berated and insulted the woman all while wanting to end the conversation.

*She
Whoops. Picture's too small and I read the quote, not the name. Double my bad.
I have to say, I did also have my reservations. I get the whole ridiculing thing, but she really did keep on going on and on, insulting and aggravating the original dick pic sender. Sending a dick pic isn't OK, being an idiot who doesn't seem to grasp the inner workings of the human mind is not great...But by the end I was really starting to feel sorry for the guy. Getting bombarded with dozens of dick pics, being called out and shamed publicly, insulted, and so on, was....excessive? I feel she should probably have ended and blocked after a few dick pics.
Some dick pic senders are no doubt absolute sleazebags and what have you, this guy gave me the impression he was more socially inept and simply didn't understand than anything else. It ended up almost like some bullying and terrorizing someone for being the awkward guy who did/said the "wrong" thing.
By which, to be clear and repeat, I do not condone dick pic sending.

When I put my "teacher" hat on, I kind of agree with you. Humiliating people doesn't help them learn. When you're approached with that kind of entitled behavior, though, I can understand the frustration--especially since he couldn't let go of the idea that unwanted pictures are inappropriate, even if the recipient is a straight woman.

And that's why I don't feel sorry for him. There's a big difference between a student and a grown-ass man. Not only that, but it's incredibly hard to reason with people like that.
One of my colleagues is a primatologist. Here is her take on dick pics.
"In other primate species, like chimpanzees, males do make a habit of parading their erections around and pointing them out to females in the hopes that the females will acknowledge their sexual interest. There is a second dynamic layered on top of this, in that younger and lower-ranking males will be attacked and punished by the senior males if they are caught doing this. So submissive males must hide their junk in the presence of stronger males or risk a beating, but they surreptitiously try to show off their erections anyhow if they won't be caught. I'm sure this has to do with dick pics, somehow, but I don't know how exactly."

I got the impression he's a conceited asshat who thinks women should fall all over themselves to want his dick. "Socially inept" is constantly talking about video games or calculus in a non-nerdy social situation. Exposing your genitalia in a non-consensual situation is being a sleazebag. Socially inept people can also be sleazebags, it's not an excuse.
She didn't steal that picture off his phone, he chose to send that picture to a stranger. It's now hers to do whatever she wants with it, no obligations. And he gets to learn about 'personal responsibility' and deal with the consequences of his actions. The horror.
This woman took what for some people could have been a very disturbing/frightening situation and she brilliantly turned it back on the jerk and became a rallying point for others who have had to deal with these conceited sleazebags. Maybe it will make some people will think twice before they sexually harass people online.

Okay, but like, what about talking about video games or calculus as it relates to his dick? Is that socially inept or sleazebag? Assuming his calculus is correct/his gamerscore is notable of course.

I don't find her argument compelling. The fact of the matter is that we DO live in a society where this is considered inappropriate, and the greater part of society views it as an unwanted sexual advance, not a flirtatious one. That alone counters her argument. It'd be nice if we lived in a society where what's mine is yours, but you better believe you're going to jail if you just walk in and take my TV.
Or to put it another way, it wouldn't particularly matter if it was a bicep. I still wouldn't want to have one thrust in my face and then told I ought to be thankful for it bitch.
...
On the other hand (forgive the stream of consciousness), there's a line somewhere between right to exposure and right to freedom therefrom, that gets into a whole sticky ball involving people who don't want to see whatever exposure, regardless of reason.

Let's celebrate!And I'm supposed to believe it's just a coincidence that this picture floated across my Imgur moments ago...

He might not have liked the barrage of return-fire dick pics, but I'd bet this wasn't the first dick pic she received. There's a point where you've just had enough. Would there still be a critique on the return-fire if, for example, a boyfriend stepped in and started the dicks rain from above movement on the initial sender? Or would he be applauded for sticking up for her, i.e. shitty double standard crap?
I agree with steinman; this guy is not going to forget what it feels like to get a dick pic he didn't want and maybe others will learn.

What should we do, Charlie, so that we don't appear blasé about this to you? Oh, I have an idea! Hey guys, let's hunt this fucker down, break into his house while he's sleeping and wave of dicks in his face. That'll show him we're serious.

From my Facebook feed:
Except a cat bringing you a dead bird has good intentions, where as an unsolicited dick pic is just a means of forcing yourself on someone via in internet.
