that was my initial reaction until reading the article. some perspective that kind of helped was that the backlash to it was in the 90's. porn existed in more places than just in magazines but it was still rare. to have it appear on the front line of a technology research field was just jarring to institutions at the time. we kind of take for granted how casually today we can just reference things in professional settings.
but puritanism can always come back
