It's not just her opinion on the picture that matters though. Other women (and probably other people) don't want it to be used as a standard test image.
I like that you're making it out like I'm saying anything is impossible. I'm not. I'm stating that if people say they're uncomfortable with something then they're uncomfortable with it. It doesn't matter how sexually open anything it. People's opinions and consent are important, both that of the subject of the photo as well as other people in the field using this photo.
Yes, I'm saying in a more sexually liberated society, one that's more comfortable with nudity and the human body, people might go: "Oh of course we can include nudes in the data set, here's a bunch more!".
You're saying in a sexually liberated society one more comfortable with nudity, people would still be viewing this in a state of discomfort.
You came here to say this, regardless of anything I said, and so are yourself not interested in the consent of all parties in this very conversation (which is with a person by the way).
I am just a prop, and you simply don't need to listen to me. Because you will say what you have to say and will mutilate whatever was being said in order to return to the status quo regardless of the comment you were replying to.
This isn't about me, it's about what you have to say. So I hope you feel better about having a one sided and belittling conversation.
I find you inadequate as an intelligent chat partner, so will block you now. I suspect that you will gain satisfaction from this, as a repressive. So enjoy.
I have thoroughly read every comment you posted. You're just ignoring the main thing I'm saying. You're essentially saying there will be one opinion in a society. I'm saying that, no matter what, people will have differing views of different things. We just need to listen to people, no matter what our society is or becomes. None of that matters. If people are uncomfortable with it in a sexually liberated society, then they're uncomfortable with it.
I guess you'll never see this, but your incesent insults say more about you than anything.
