I don't disagree that kind of thing being targeted at a person can be psychologically damaging, but not because there's anything specifically different about the genitals. It's all about the motive and meaning behind it.

I think the Anglosphere's over-sexulisation of any and all nudity makes it worse than it needs to be (I think my exposure to e.g. Germany's sauna culture on a few trips has really helped me form a healither attitudes to nudity in a dozen or two hours than the rest of my life over here, and that kind of thing being more common would probably help people be able to more easily shake it off) but I think the tramatic part is the stalker behaviour and being directly targeted by someone with a lewd motive. And it being done when the person sending it knows it's undesired and forcing them to look is kind of almost rapey.

So for me, I'd find it creepy if somebody was targeting me with that, but would have zero issues approaching it from "I'm here to filter out the dick picks so I'm going to see a lot of anatomy". This is very different to e.g. gore where I actualy do feel a bit physically sick if I know it's real, but if I randomly see nudity that's not motivated at me it's basically nothing.
