      Yes, let’s just shove everyone into one drawer and completely forget that some do it for fun, some out of financial necessity, and let’s also forget all the problems it can cause when using such an image in lectures, research and similar professional settings. /s

      So? They can do what they like, just like Lena could for the original image. Hell, I applaud them for it!

      I also think Lena looks beautiful in the commonly used image, and it doesn’t bother ME one bit that the image shows up in research.

      But all of that is completely separate from whether it is appropriate to use a cropped playboy image in professional settings (it should be UN-cropped, am I right fellas? /s). However, if it genuinely offends the people around me, or makes them feel marginalized or less valued, well then it DOES start to bother me a little bit.

      It’s OK to change the world in a way that doesn’t affect you but improves the life of somebody else.

      And? If they were paid adequately they wouldn’t have too and even if they are paid adequately its their body and their decision.

      And I don’t think any of their nude photos are appropriate for academic papers (unrelated to nudity research) either?
