You call those outfits revealing? Theres maybe 2. And 2 pics in bikinis. The rest are pics in clothes and or her uniform. You really reaching by trying to specifically put IG in your search and you still came up short

The one between three and three.
I told you I don't have IG, so I googled her IG pics and that's what popped up. On that search page you got tittles almost out, underboob in a few pics, and, yeah, posing in bikini pics with no beach, pool, or anything around (those are typically referred to as "pin up pics"). Scrolling down is simply more of the same, sexy poses in revealing clothes with the odd b-ball uniform pic sprinkled in there.
The point in posting that screenshot was to show that my results were vastly different from yours. Many of the pics that popped up are of her being "sensual" or outright sexual in nature. You may not agree, and on that we'll just have to agree to disagree. A lot of what passes today as "normal" pics to y'all are only normalized because it's been the standard on IG for over a decade.
You googled...i showed you her actual IG page. The pics are right there for you to see. You're right we definitely disagree on what's considered sexual. And I'm not of the IG generation nor do i spend alot of time on there. My algorithm is full of basketball and baseball shit because thats what i look up the most on there. I'm almost 40. I just don't see a mini skirt or a bikini pic, and the one in the collage of pics you posted she's clearly at a pool by the gates in the background, as being something overtly sexual depending on the intent. And it's not hard to tell when a woman is intentionally trying to be sexy.

Again, that's where you are misconstruing my point. Go look back at my posts. I said Shaq was wrong, period. None of the rest of the stuff I'm talking about has to do with him or people like him. I'm simply addressing people doing things that have known consequences and then complaining about those known consequences. At the end of the day, booty pics are going to get lewd reaction, and I'm not sure why anything different is expected. What is the proper response to a pic of an ass hanging out. There really isn't one.
You know what an improper response would be though. And trying to apply logic to those rarely if ever holds up. And that's what happens when you take the "well what did you expect" angle
You almost got it with your last sentence

No, I don't. I have my own personal principles, so there are things I wouldn't say. I'm not a thirsty ass nigga, so I wouldn't post "Damn, I want to tap that" in the comment section of a pic on a chick's social media page. However, why would that be an improper response to a chick posting a pic with her ass hanging out? Because it's not necessarily something she wants to hear? Well guess what, nobody gets to dictate how other people react on the internet.
If I'm on here posting pics of myself holding guns and flashing gang signs, I can't get mad at my job if they see those pics and fire me.
At the same token, if chicks are online sexually objectifying themselves in pics, I don't see how they are justified in getting mad if people look at them like sexual objects.
All we have is logic and feelings. Logic is consistent. Feelings vary from person to person. I'm going to stick with logic and always recommend that others do the same when making choices on and offline. I'm not sure why that is offensive.
So you don't know what an inappropriate response would be? So if someone were to take it upon themselves to grope a woman would that be inappropriate? If someone were to take a picture and then start sending all sorts of sexual messages would that be wrong? Logic isn't consistent at all as you're trying to make it because different circumstances will call for different reactions to things.
You just said you have your own principles that stop you from doing certain things you deemed as inappropriate so again you show you do know what that would be. There are social rules and regulations we are all aware of in whats considered an appropriate reaction to something and what isn't. Trying to diminish that to "well you can't control how other people react" makes no sense because while you can't control that you also have enough common sense to know right from wrong.
You know there's a difference between "damn i wanna tap that" to let's say...creating AI porn of somebody. Now if you're going to try and stretch your logic to say you can't even deem that or other reactions that literally can violate a person, then youre toeing a dangerous line where you're saying anything should be allowed and excused because "you can't control how people react".

I think a lot of y’all are afraid to acknowledge how closely y’all’s opinions toe the line of incel rhetoric…
Just cause a chick wanna feel confident in her body don’t mean you are entitled to her.
Hell… I’m willing to bet a couple of y’all been launched out the back door of a club for not taking “no” as an answer.
A bunch of “WELL FUCK YOU DEN BITCH, I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE NICE TO YOUR FUNKY ASS” lookin ass niggas

I fucks with you bruh, but I gotta say: Nothing said here so far applies to what you just wrote.
We're pretty much in agreement: Shaq shoulda kept his mouf shut and was out of line.
Nothing said in this entire thread is about being entitled to a woman's body. Nothing to that effect exists here. The fact is, when you put yourself out there online, people will talk, sometimes directly to you and you might not like what they have to say. People will make comments and that's something you have to live with. And when you put yourself out there in a blatantly sexual manner, exposing all types of skin and body parts, folks will DEFINITELY have comments. That's just life. You can't stop it or regulate it, nor are you important enough to anyone else's life to demand they only speak about you in a certain manner.
Nothing said here alludes to being entitled to a woman showing skin. That ain't what the dialogue so far has been about.

What does groping have to do with anything? We're talking about responses on social media. How is a sexual message inappropriate in response to a sexual pic. Does that make sense? Women can feel something is inappropriate, and that's fine, but there are no rules to any of this shit.
My personal principles don't dictate what other people should or shouldn't do. There are plenty of things that I wouldn't do that aren't wrong. And right and wrong aren't as cut and dry as you try to make it. A few decades ago, a lot of people would have considered women taking racy pics and putting them out for everyone to see to be wrong. Society has changed on that point, so it stands to reason that society wil change regarding acceptable responses to those pics too.
I don't know what you're talking about with the AI. I'm talking about words, and you're steadily trying to make it something else.
Im not trying to make it anything else. Youre saying that you don't know what an improper response is despite also saying you know right from wrong. I already said right and wrong aren't as clear cut in every instance as you want it to be. So you repeating that back to me makes no sense. I also said that there's clear lines we as a society all basically agree on when it comes to interacting with a person. So using your pov of "be logical" then there would be a logical train of thought that can be followed to come to the conclusion that there are in fact times where a person's reaction to something does cross a line. If a woman posts a sexy pic of herself and somebody responds with a dick pic not only is that wrong it's actually illegal. So yeah there are definitely rules to this.
Hell your stance being based in social media doesn't even hold up because as private platforms they do in fact have rules that are enforceable based on how you interact with people. I never said your personal principles should dictate what others do. I did however say that there's certain shit that is objectively wrong and violates not only the rules of whatever platform you wanna use but also the social contract that people abide by daily in how they move in the world both online and off.
