yes, the people choosing to stalk, assault, molest are the problem and I’m sorry you experienced that and its good you found a mitigation.
its important that everyone else knows this has no bearing on whether they can approach at all, and simply choose not to stalk, assault, molest.
the issue (and proof) is the lack of accountability to those that harassed you, lots of guys believe they will be marked as one of those harassers from simply saying hi. when its much more likely thats not so, and the issue becomes the lack of accountability for the person overfitting and accusing in their attempt to filter out actual harassers
