[Gendergap] Hardcore images essay - HELP!

[Sydney Poore]

Can you give an example of what you are considering when you want to give a
sexually explicit image preference out of necessity.

For example if the only image uploaded of a United States State Park was a
nude female laying on a blanket in tent and masturbating in the the state
park, would you say that it should be included so we have an image of the
State Park?
