Chatroulette Working On Genital Recognition Algorithm
Show them while you can, Internet exhibitionists. Chatroulette is working on image-recognition software that will filter out shots of male genitalia. The website's founder, Andrey Ternovskiy, hopes that blocking the offending members will help clean up Chatroulette's reputation. He's even enlisted the help of Napster founder Shawn Fanning. I wonder if someone has told Andrey how well it went for Napster?
I wish I could mod you insightful for that. I'd chock it up to homophobia and women being less enlightened about genitals than men. Despite all the incessant screeching about sexual harassment, women expect an awful lot of tolerance out of men in terms of what we're expected to put up with. TV alone shows a lot of things that I don't want to see about female genitalia and basically nothing about male. Not that I'm complaining about not enough penises on TV, but perhaps less explicit talk about female genitalia is in order.
But then again, supposedly the vagina is in some fashion less freakish than a penis. Don't know why, perhaps it's related to why men need to subsidize women only sexual health care.
