Except that people do, in fact, remember. Sure, if society gets destroyed and future archeologists find the cropped photo and that’s all that remains of it, it’s not a porn photo any more. But for now, people know where it came from. That matters.

Saying the crop is a porn photo is like saying homeopathy has an active ingredient because “the water remembers”.
