It's not like they were using the uncropped centerfold. There's nothing wrong with the headshot. It's a woman in a hat.

But the image is from a photoshoot for playboy so its inherently dirty and offensive, even if they only use the cropped version. /s

Well, according to the Wikipedia article that's exactly the criticism (but without sarcasm).

it seems difficult to argue that a 512 × 512 image produced with a 1970s-era analog scanner is the best we have to offer as an image quality test standard

This is the part I don't get. How has the picture not changed with the times due to camera advances.

Same reason the length of a meter hasn't changed despite measurement advances. It was used as a benchmark.

Her hair is showing, this offends Muslim engineers.

To end this, I will subject myself to being the test image. We'll crop on my o-face while I'm doing your mom and your dad is a cuck in the corner.

What? Some people would call that art. And it will just be my face. We won't see your dad with anal beads and cock cage in the picture.

If we only see my face in the picture what is the problem? Only you will know that the only time your mom could orgasm was with me.

You are strong enough to handle using this new picture, right?

As long as the cropped picture contains the required colour variety, fine by me.

Now, the real remarkable thing is the fact that you think those two settings are comparable, or that it somehow makes a valid argument.

edit or that you posted this argument so many times. You might have some repressed issues. Honestly, as long as all parties involved are consenting adults, it's okay to like what you like.
