I think you're either intentionally or unintentionally looking to create/perpetuate controversy where there is none. The post you linked mentions itself that most people weren't even aware of the origin of the image, which I think is probably the only thing which may cause it to be offensive towards prudish people in general.
Personally, I find it strictly more offensive that people are outraged on behalf of these supposed women, who are so delicate that the use of a heavily cropped playboy image outrages, offends, or discourages them from a field of study. I think regardless of which image you choose, you'll always find some group of people who are offended by it, and anyone who is offended by an image as tame as this one probably has some growing up to do.
- cnewey 9y agoThere are several prominent women in CS that I know personally and respect (some of whom are image processing/CV researchers), who find the image sexist and demeaning. I sympathise with their viewpoint and am inclined to agree with them. I'm clearly not looking to create controversy or be offended on other people's behalf - I'm just trying to not be a dick.
