There's clearly an implied indirect meaning there. Also I reverse searched the image, and apparently the middle red X is the symbol of a far-right organization? At least that's the first result.

Did anyone else get something like this?

This is so cursed. I'm not clicking on the ad.

I'm not saying there's nothing dodgy about this because the 3 images with pink in them are clearly IMO designed to trick the eye into seeing nudity which isn't there...

But that red X is the X men logo: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:X-Men-logo-comics.png

It's similar to the one you posted, but that one has white edges to the black lines, whereas the one in your pic does not.

Very weird though.

it's probably a biproduct of that phenomenon.

I'll bet the ads are programmatic and have a complex testing matrix, they're rank tested against each other with other images and the ones that get the most attention win and make it to the next generation - the winners being those that inspire the most interactions probably trends towards those that most closely resemble nudity without being too much of a disappointment.

Yeah that's true, good point. Do you think it's a coincidence then? I mean there's already a double meaning, why not another...

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's just whatever asset they could grab.

It's very clearly meant to be penis, xxx, crotch, naked woman, probably links to porn and is designed that way to avoid some sort of filter on the ad network to detect pornographic or pornography-referencing advertising.

If that's the case, well played. Clever.

I now see that the body part in the penultimate image is an eyelid. The first one still looks like pink fuzzy penises to me. What do you think it is?

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's shoes. Fuzzy pink heeled shoes. Had to zoom in.
