I find it off-putting as well. It makes it feel more like a creepy corner of reddit than a serious project.

I feel like using an unknown model in the photos would even be an improvement, but still inappropriate.

Agreed. There is a fetishistic element to the grid of sexy Emma Watson photos that is uncomfortable to look at. I'm a woman and a web devleoper. When I look at this plugin's page, I feel immediately uncomfortable and excluded, the photos indicating this is a place for HETEROSEXUAL MEN who will be drawn to this sort of imagery.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "creepy corner of reddit"?
