Reminds me of Lenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna

  I think it’s sad that Lenna had to go, with vague arguments of sexism. She’s a photo model. Most photo models are women, because that’s the reality we live in. I would have thought it cute that my (tiny) country is represented in these contexts, but no, she was a beautiful woman and that’s sexist to use as a test subject.

    I wonder how much of the push against Lenna was veiled jealousy.

    Without passing any judgement, I think it's important to note that she is a nude photo model. The image is a cropped Playboy centerfold.

      Indeed, and I also think it's important to note that it's a picture from the 70's, an era known for relaxed sexual morals, and particularly in Sweden. The Lenna picture is not something I care deeply about, but the overall trend of post-hoc censoring cultural expressions because some people MAY find them distasteful is letting the bullies win.
