Taking
the Dick Pic Project back into the digital spere referenced the origin of the photos, as
well as creating a digital campaign. The animated shorts are deliberately made to be
viewed on a phone – the same device where images are usually received.
Instagram
has regularly censored the project work, even though it isn’t in breach of the
community guidelines. This is part of a wider issue that sees the platform
dictating what sexual content is deemed ‘appropriate’ based on patriarchal
ideals and misogyny. Interestingly, there are rarely consequences for the men
sending unsolicited dick pics via the platform.
