Having a hard time understanding why prank calling someone and threatening sexual violence against them not being not a big deal.

I don't really think I said that, did I. You're either imagining something I didn't said or you're deliberately misrepresenting.
I said:
> Not the same as phoning someone.
And it's not the same. It's surely far more harmful to be able to show someone an image than just audio. You can literally do everything you can in audio in video, and then more.
You don't have to listen to me - I think you'll find that flashing someone is prosecuted more severely than an obscene phone call in most societies.
Also, threatening sexual violence is never a 'prank' - don't do that.
Drawing genitalia on the screen is immature but isn't really sexual violence. It's a little disrespectful towards rape victims or abuse victims to feel that action is on the same level. It's a prank..

I didn't say it wasn't a big deal. I said it wasn't a cyberattack. Crashing my car into an electronics store isn't "hacking" either.
