That said, those calling it sexist are misguided. If it had equal parts man, it would be equally inappropriate for HN. Displaying only one gender is not sexist unless there is some reason to expect balance.
If I linked to a picture of three female faces, that would not be sexist. It would just be my preference of pictures to display.
The issue is that it's crass and appeals to sexuality. Guaranteed flag.
Looks like "bottom-up" as a metaphor tends to offend some people...
More seriously it's a great product offering the real ability to zoom precisely on what matters to anyone. Good job!
Pretty clearly outside the guidelines and norms of HN. It doesn't bother me personally (and I don't think it's sexist) but it also doesn't belong here.
If it was just naked asses, yeah, but this seems to be targetting hetero males (and technically bisexuals and lesbians to a lesser degree) and is just lame.

Linking to the product would have done just fine. No need for T&A.

Not so mesmerising as outright sexist.
Sincere apologies if you felt offended. It's definitely designed to be humourous more than anything else.

Being HN, I was expecting an article with numbers and stuff.
Next time we'll do something serious. Right now, it's almost the weekend already.
Well that was pathetic. Flagged for blatant sexism.
Not sexist - sexual.
Unless you consider sexuality inherently sexist.
Would you feel better if there was a "dudes" version?

That was going to ne on the table sooner or later
First product I see doing this, very powerful !
Indeed it is mesmerising !
Warning: NSFW pictures.
