> Gotta love how women's breasts are simultaneously "softcore porn" and "women's rights", all depending on the type of news/propaganda utilized.

Very strange. It's almost as if the settings in which humans operate require "nuance" and "complexity" and "context" to understand and can't be navigated with a flowchart.

Very easy to navigate with a flow chart, just needs a box in there saying 'Is this consentual?'

If Yes -> Softcore Porn

If No -> Rights violation

Not all consensual photographs of ladies with their tits out are porn of any kind.

I guess theres 2 types of consensual. Consenting to taking the photo, and consenting it to be shared with/sold to others.

Are you of an age to remember a certain variety of picture in National Geographic? Assuming those ladies knew they were being photographed and were ok with it being published, where does that land in your flowchart?

Once you have consented to a naked photo being made public, you no longer have any control over how it is viewed. One mans art is another mans porn. You cannot have a photo taken of you and then consent to it publicly only for artistic value. Therefore there is only personal consent in the flowchart, nothing else.
