There is likely a lot of anime stuff in LAION-5B, as well as photos of Asian women who consented to sexualized photoshoots. I think this tells us something about the current aesthetics of the internet, Asian women are idealized to some degree, just look at a random cyberpunk style picture. But it's also really easy to ask Stable Diffusion to generate non-sexualized images by adding what you don't want to see to the "negative prompt". So it's on the app makers to make their app less NSFW, I don't buy the company representative responses

> I think this tells us something about the current aesthetics of the internet, Asian women are idealized to some degree. Fetishising Asian women predates the internet[1]. Seeking Asian Female[2] is a documentary on the matter, by an Asian woman.
