Lena Cena is pretty funny but these people sound insufferable.
Forsén stated in the 2019 documentary film Losing Lena, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too… Let’s commit to losing me.
From Wikipedia
She was a paid model, so I don’t consider the usage unethical based on that. But I like this comment from a journal:
In today’s age of high-resolution digital image technology, 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".
Lmao, they do have a point though!

I mean, this puts into context that the standard probably should have been some kind of test card like this :

She has since asked for the image to no longer be used, “I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too. We can make a simple change today that creates a lasting change for tomorrow. Let’s commit to losing me.”
Yeah, those woke culture warriors at the … IEEE … distracting us from … Something… by asking academic researchers to … Refrain from using a specific cropped pornographic image that the model has asked people to stop using.
Those bastards.
I’m referring to class warfare. It’s a nice gesture but not worth the media throughfare, especially as she asked for it not to be used. You can just do it and not make it a big fuss. There are better problems to worry about. Hyping it feels perverse. It should be done simply because it’s right and she wanted privacy. I’m aware this is a bit ironic, but I don’t think it should be such a wild thing to show a bit of respect to what the affected parties want. I suppose posting rhe meme isn’t helping but I can’t resist a good Cena meme.
Edit: I suppose I’m trying to say that the fact that this is a notable change at all is an indication of a problem.
Forsén redid the shoot some 50 years later, producing a (worksafe) image of a grandmotherly woman wearing a hat and smiling. Perhaps using this updated image would be a reasonable compromise?
If they put the model in a tutu, they could’ve made the Lena Cena Ballerina.
What the hell is sex-positive?
They tested positive for sex, unlike you, probably.
Real answer: Sex positivity is an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, encouraging sexual pleasure and experimentation.
So why is the consensual photography of a nude model for sexual enjoyment not considered a sex-positive act?
