How to fix it

Re-shoot with neutral framing and remove sexualized gestures or close-ups.

Good to know

Applies to real people, animation and drawings. Thirst-trap framing, twerking close-ups, suggestive banana/lollipop gestures count. Normal swimwear at the beach or gym wear while training does not (that is 'Sensitive').
