the question is, would it be possible to implement something like that in a way where dong shows don't take over? What is it exactly that turned chat roulette into that?

Being on the internet?

First and foremost, upon returning to this thread after a few hours, I’m stoked how many people I got to say the word “dong”. Anyway.

Nowadays it would probably be easier than ever to detect certain shapes? I don’t know, we have artificial intelligence that can detect all sorts of things, male genitalia probably that hard to detect.

They could have Snapchat-like filters that turn it into something innocent

Having an option to mark yourself as NSFW, and to decide if you want to see NSFW cams would go a long way.

IIRC they had this and only guys used it (because only guys were naked on chatroulette to begin with) so nobody used it.

Yea, discord can detect dicks. I'm guessing that the hotdog/no hotdog algorithm is advanced enough by now.

Really? I've never been in a group where one is sent, does it block it or just mark it as NSFW?

There might be a setting for the room, I've seen it marked as explicit content prevented from uploading and it doesn't show the picture.

I still play piano on omegle occasionally. Dudes will cancel the chat immediately.

One time I got a girl who was just talking about her shitty relationship with the chat on mute. I had to skip her myself.

Perhaps some sort food detection software that returns "Hotdog" or "Not Hotdog" could be repurposed for this.
