I don’t understand what the issue is. It’s a nonsexual picture of a woman looking at the camera. As a male, if I reverse the genders I wouldn’t be offended in the slightest.
She is also a consenting adult that posed for Playboy, so what? Power to her.
It’s only controversial if you know it’s the top 3rd of a centerfold photo. It would just be slightly creepy otherwise.
To be fair, there are better test images to use and it’s never really been appropriate to use a playboy centerfold image, however cropped it may be, for these purposes. There’s no technical reason this image is better than other test images.
Ignoring any modern 4th wave feminist argument, it was already crass, rude, and unprofessional.

Am I problematic?
