She absolutely can. And we, collectively, can choose to respect that wish by using a different test image in future. And why not? It's no real burden to make the change.
The burden here is that a number of people are so afraid of being "woke" that they'd rather double down being scummy than just find a different jpeg. If it was their daughter I'm sure they'd have a different opinion
Are we back in the 60s where a father has to sign off on the daughters job application? We are talking about a woman who willingly signed up for a playboy photoshoot, had been aware of the image being used and circulated for decades with no issues.
Strawnan bs. No one advocated anything like that.
> We are talking about a woman who willingly signed up for a playboy photoshoo
Yep. And decades later asked it to not be used anymore.
You can waste as much time with long winded arguments as you want. Or you could just be decent and not use the image. Your call.
Then how are her parents even remotely relevant?
> You can waste as much time with long winded arguments as you want
Brought to you by the people who bring this argument up every time the image is used.
At the end of the day its a stolen photo, and immoral to continue to use against the express wishes of the subject, no matter how you want to justify it -- she asked, so just respect it instead of finding ways to justify being a jerk.
