Here's the thing that makes me sympathetic: fandom time happens in nanoseconds. Clarifications and good corporate policy happen on a slower scale. This is fixable, if they can -- and are allowed to -- step back, take a deep breath, and think it out.
I actually think there's an interesting theoretical issue here: can one say that a well-drawn picture of this sort lacks artistic value? Easy enough with a porn mag; harder here. Which may indicate photography's lower status in the hierarchy of artistic value -- but "artistic" is part of the test.
