I quote similar criticism from Dianne P. O'Leary:
> Suggestive pictures used in lectures on image processing ... convey the message that the lecturer caters to the males only. For example, it is amazing that the "Lena" pin-up image is still used as an example in courses and published as a test image in journals today.
That folks like you think advocating for diversity is about "political correctness" rather than building a world that is better to live in is very sad.
Diversity is fine. Forced diversity is not. Having different opinions and things that are not forcefully diverse is it's own form of diversity. Making everyone conform to your ideas is not diversity.
I mean, give me a break. They're completely tame other than being mostly women, but apparently that alone is enough to send people into a fit of hysterics.
This paper is what I'd characterize as "horny on main" (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/horny-on-main). It's embarrassing. They've spent all this time doing impressive, cutting edge research just to make women (and girls!) dance for them. They could have chosen a dataset that at least made them look cool, rather than like weirdos. It weirded me out! Very likely weirded out others.

Though of course, that would've mostly been super uncomfortable if the field was also dominated by women.
None of the examples have people in their underwear.
Instead, it is regular people, and animated characters, doing tiktok dances.
Not sure why you are equating this to sexual content. Its simply trendy/viral content. Nothing sexual about it.
Dancing, and animated characters, are a great way of showing off what the technology is capable of.
