Quoting "Daniel J. Matyola" <[email protected]>:

I don't think they are pornographic, but I don't think they are
tasteful or artistic either.


I saw these a couple of days ago on Peta Pixel. I don't think they are pornographic either but if the father didn't realise that posting them on social media wouldn't draw the reaction it did, he is the most naive person I've yet come across.

I reckon he fully expected the reaction and was deliberately trying to provoke the sickos out there. But I don't think his daughter will thank him in years to come.



Cheers

Brian

Wyatt Neumann is a photographer and a father. In 2014 he took his
two-year-old daughter Stella on a cross-country road trip, photographing
their journey along the way. Neumann captured sunsets and cornfields and, of
course, Stella, often donning one of most two-year-old girls' two favorite
ensembles: a princess dress and nothing at all.

In the middle of the trip, what the Safari Gallery describes as "a hyper
puritanical, neo-conservative group" launched a cyber-attack on Neumann's
images, specifically those of Stella. Calling the images "perverse," "sick"
and "pornographic," members of the group attempted to remove all traces of
them from the web. They successfully prompted Facebook and Instagram to shut
down his accounts, and they criticized his artist website as well. While
Neumann claims he was open to others expressing their opinions about his
work, the "forced censorship" went too far.

And so on.  Text and some pictures at:
