It's a playboy shoot. She's nude.
It's not some hardcore thing, it's obviously not as inappropriate as the "CEO showing porn in a company meeting" example, but it 100% creates a "boy's club" type atmosphere.
There's this website I use a lot, called rawpixels.net (seems to be down now?). It's an excellent tool for peeking at raw picture data when I work on debugging video decoding stuff at work. However, the default loaded picture is the Lena picture. It feels inappropriate every time I open the website at work, in our open office space where my screen is visible. Because it clearly looks like a picture that's intended to be erotic/suggestive. And if it feels inappropriate to put up on my large screen at work, it's clearly not appropriate as the standard test image for a whole field.

- mort96 3y agoWitness, "her face": https://womenlovetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/distressed-lena-image-1-scaled.jpg https://womenlovetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/distres... That's the picture someone cropped, scanned, and used as the standard test image for all of computer imagery.
- friend_and_foe 3y agoYeah... So what? The image used is of just her face. We are all naked under our clothes, is it inappropriate to be naked under our clothes at work? You said it yourself, it was cropped, so as to remove the inappropriate nudity. Problem solved. Your arguments are not very compelling.
- mort96 3y agoThe image used is cropped porn. Think about the message that sends.
