That would be hard to say. I recall a US Supreme Justice basically defining "hard-core pornography" as "I know it when I see it".

Some would say that pornography implies sex.

Others that it is defined by the content’s purpose.

Some would contend that considering the mere exposition of the female body outside of any sexual interaction as pornographic is, in itself, objectification and sexualisation.

I don’t really have an opinion.

And, in the case of this specific painting, to me it is merely an amusing, well-thought, intriguing, multi-layered play on both words and symbols, that isn’t really significantly any more graphic than the anatomy book for children I had at 6 [1].

But that’s just me. Some could argue they aren’t even remotely the same.

If you’d prefer a less divisive example, Instagram also banned Almodovar’s nipple film poster [2].

> Maybe the problem is more facebook banning all porn including the culturally relevant one.

Or Facebook being left to decide what is and what isn’t porn, and applying their one and only rule to the whole world as if one size could fit all.
