If I remember correctly, it was one guy who everyone group shamed out of the thread. He posted over and over again, making it seem like it was a lot of people.
Overall, I don't find it too objectionable, but there's no doubt that those photos are created in the first place to objectify those women…for the most part. Do you blame the photographer, the model, or those who find it appealing? Hard to say who to blame more for that one. Is it Supply followed by Demand, or a Demand that creates a Supply? Tough to say (although usually the demand creates the supply).
Oh, and if Peanut's avatar is a sly social commentary on the amount of sexualized women in poster's avatars, then I have to say it's not very useful, because I can only think of 1 or 2 posters that use anything like that. I just assumed it was a picture that Peanut liked, and I really have no problem with that. If it passes by the mods I'm fine with it. We're all adults here.
Edit: I just realized that there are some youngins on this site as well. Soooo…maybe have to be a bit more careful with that kind of stuff? NVM, the internet has billions of things that are worse for kids to see. Keep those filters on parents!
I must be objectifying Nick Offerman's beautiful mustache with my avatar…sheesh, people assume way too much.
