Ignore my weird blank post there, I replied to the wrong person. *cough*
I know exactly what you're talking about, although I wouldn't call it soft core porn. I would call most of it gratutious, though, but not quite reaching soft core. (They usually cover the nipples. Even if it's only barely.)
I don't think most women looking for clothes actually want to see fetishized pictures of women ostensibly showing off clothing, so it's always kind of confused me. If I want lingerie, I'd look in the lingerie section. It's tiring to get it when I'm searching for actual clothes. It used to be if you selected 'US only' you could get rid of most of it, but now there are all these listings with 'US warehouses'. You can't escape.
I don't really have a problem with a some low-cut/revealing things, I mean, I wear some revealing things myself at times. It's the sheer volume of it, and also the types of pictures. Some of the items that are inherently skimpy can't avoid showing skin when on a model, but there are plenty of item pictures that focus more on the woman's body than the clothing itself. That's what I have a problem with. Why am I staring at T &A if it's not even doing a good job showing me what the clothes look like? I'm here for the clothes, for **** sake.

I've been annoyed about this for years, hah. I'm no longer blindsided by seeing some man or woman's ass in the weirdest categories, though, so I guess I've become desensitized somewhat.
