Removed photo
[edit]Hey all! I removed this photo since it seemed unnecessarily sexual (and a bit on the creepy side). Not trying to be a prude here, and I know we are not Wikipedia:CENSORED, but there are a lot of ways to demonstrate the act of "looking" that do not veer toward sexual objectification. Thanks and let me know what suggestions you have for a replacement!

- @Crunchydillpickle: I tend to disagree with this removal, nor on WP:CENSORED grounds, but because it does such an excellent job of capturing three different kinds of looking. It would be nice to find an alternative, so that all of our images are not merely illustrations. BD2412 T 17:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- It's a good photo. "Creepy" is projection, it doesn't describe any of the people in the photo, and "looking" can include sexual objectification. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 00:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
