It loading fine has nothing to do with if it’s malicious or not, that’s kinda the whole point of malware and viruses.

2 random scanners, only one of which reports it as malicious. It's flagging the domain because it's a file sharing site.
Take 2 seconds and scan the actual file before accusing people of spreading malware.

The only possibility of doing something that bad (i.e. running the malware by just opening the image) would be a malformed image that manages to do a buffer overflow in the image parser of the browser (see this recent example: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel...)... but I rather think that this specific case is just a false positive.
EDIT: someone in the thread apparently rescanned the file (I didn't check if the file was the same or was modified in-between on the original site) and it indeed appears clean now.
