5 years later women will be penning blog posts about "retaking Lena" - reclaiming women's place and free expression by re-appropriating an image maligned by a virtual signalling patriarchy (or misguided but mostly well-intentioned women misled by the same), and inferring that Jpeg's original female patron--and her empowering yet threatening-to-male sexuality--were unjustly silenced and written out of the history of the epochal format, in a sad yet common motif aligned with the history of sciences worldwide.
Lena's reappropriative reestablishment will be a clarion call for progress of women in computer science. After they light the fire, clean-looking male CS professors and open-sorcerer's with cute beards (who by then will have traded in the preferred pronouns blazon of woke supremacy with something even 'cooler') will join the call and show their women-saving prowess (because they definitely need their saving)--by replacing their profile pictures with those of Lena, or photoshopping themselves in miniature aside Lena in ancient-Egyptian-worshipper-to-divine-goddess style. And so the perverted cycle, of ethically priapismic virtue signaling, continues. I guess sexual selection in information society is destined to lead to ever more tumescently elaborate yet essentially idempotent/useless displays of...whatever this is.
