Offensive to people who react bad to caffeine or whose relatives had been killed by a falling teapot.
Offensive to people who think there's a furry connection.
I can understand that and those people can use another image when making their own examples.
It's not a bad thing to have more empathy, but there's common sense.
I would be very surprised if the population of "people upset by the use of a teapot/bunny as a test render" was even within a couple orders of magnitude of "people upset by the use of a porn photo as a test image"
Saying the crop is a porn photo is like saying homeopathy has an active ingredient because "the water remembers".
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.
Edit: typos, clarity
... By that logic, you are now touching a porn device, since these pixels below are clearly pornography.
I mean obviously this is a porn device, it has access to the Internet. How is that relevant? One's personal devices are exactly where one's porn should be, not in an academic paper about image processing.
