So is the hangup that it was published in Playboy? What if the cropped non-nude version of the photograph first appeared in a mainstream publication, and then was appropriated by the imaging community afterward? Does that contextual difference change anything if we're still discussing the same photograph?
- yawaramin 8y agoI don't know–it depends! It's difficult to talk hypotheticals. In the end it's all about the context.
- feanaro 8y agoWhy is it difficult? The hypothetical makes all the relevant information available. What information are you using right now when dealing the judgement of "inappropriate" to the current situation?
- yawaramin 8y agoLike I said, it's very difficult to talk about hypotheticals because in real life there are always unintended consequences. For example, the model from the cropped image from the mainstream publication may have later spoken out that she was made to feel uncomfortable during the photo shoot. And people may find that objectionable. As long as we keep talking in hypotheticals, we can justify anything!
