I really don't think the image itself is the issue. It's the culture that would lead to brazenly sharing a porn magazine aroundnthe office, and subsequently using the image for a test photo. Then that same culture decided it should be standard because they liked looking at it. It indicates a culture of objectification of women. If an industry feels like sharing porn around is perfectly acceptable, you have to consider what else they think is acceptable. That's what makes people uncomfortable (I assume, though I'm a straight man so not personal experience, just empathy).

What's wrong with sharing porn around?

[-] Dempf@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Absolutely nothing. But imagine you're working with some people and everyone's constantly posting porn in the group chat. You're just trying to kind of exist and get your work done. You might start to feel pretty uncomfortable with that culture.

There's definitely a line between sex positivity, and including other people without their clear consent.
