UPDATED 12/16/16: Unsolicited dick pics are fucking gross. Seriously. Please stop. Also, when an affected Instagram user reaches out to report this type of behavior, here's a handy tip: Don't shut down THE VICTIM's account. According to the owner of the popular @istillloveherdotde account, that's exactly what's happening.

"Although it wouldn't make a difference in my argument, I'd like to note that I never shared any explicit pictures of myself," Wanja Lange, founder and CEO of I Still Love H.E.R., wrote in a BuzzFeed community post Wednesday. "My account (@istillloveherdotde) reflects my business, my Hip Hop blog, my life and love for music and a selfie here and there. Unfortunately, the lack of skin shown has not stopped random strangers from popping up in my inbox and sending me pictures of their exposed penises, along with lines such as 'what can you do with this' or 'u sexy animal' [sic]."

Lange decided to share a heavily censored version of one of these unsolicited dick pics with her followers, with permission from the original sender. "I even let Paul know that I was going to do so, and he seemed very excited, saying that 'it might get me alot of women [sic],'" Lange added. After "approximately 20 hours," she deleted the post. Just a few hours later, her account was reportedly disabled for "violating community  guidelines." Lange is currently using an alternate account, @WanjaLange, until further notice. But the unsolicited dick pic sender's account? You guessed it: That shit is apparently still alive and kicking.

Instagram did not immediately respond to Complex's request for comment. On Thursday, Lange confirmed to Complex that her Instagram account had been reactivated.
