    if you can’t understand how that would make some people uncomfortable then you might be a bit lacking in empathy.

    I’m lacking in empathy.

    The 3d world has Utah teapots and Stanford bunnies and dragons which are all very neutral and don’t hurt anyone.

    Ooooh i’m sure someone, somewhere, somehow will feel offended. Better ban those too.

    Yes, the provenance is “questionable”, but it’s a pic of a human wearing a hat, ffs.

    The model being tired of it would be enough reason for me to stop using it (as you mentioned, there are plenty of alternatives); but American prudeness? No.

      This isn’t about prudishness. No one’s offended by the picture. It makes people uncomfortable because it’s from a playboy. The problem is that it brings the objectification of women to the fore in a male dominated field where women often face sexual harassment and aren’t taken seriously.
