Racy picture? Wait, what photo are we talking about? Is this still about the one in andrewfromx's article that shows a woman's face and shoulder?

It's cropped from an explicit photograph published in Playboy.

But the topic of this subthread is the cropped, non-racy image that got circulated. Is there anyone who actually got offended by a picture of a woman’s face and shoulder? Besides maybe people in ultra-religious societies that insist on women’s shoulders being covered?

I think people got offended when they found out the source of the image.

The original is a nude, but calling it “explicit” is…quite a stretch. [0]

[0] a scan of the full centerfold is included in this piece (NSFW, obviously): https://kevinrye.net/index_files/1972_playboy_magazine_the_l...

Maybe I should have used NSFW instead of explicit, I just don't like to mix initialisms into my speech.
