I bet Playboy is just stunned... all those people all those years ACTUALLY buying the magazine for the articles because 2-d touched up photos weren't attractive
Erotic art can be a cartoon sometimes. The real world is simply a collection of sensory inputs that you connect into some meaningful model in your head. Moving art that speaks dialog can be considered attractive both emotionally and physically because it represents an ideal of some kind.
If it isn't to some, that has no bearing on it being the case for others.
