If I were to make such an icon for Lost Girl (providing I can find a good cap; I think if there were a frontal-shirtless-female scene I'd remember it, and I don't know the show well enough to be sure of which scenes I do remember are in which ep), would that be good because gender equity, or bad because contributing to seeing women as solely sexual objects? If bad, would that be affected if I include Bo's face in the icon? Which I think I'd have to do anyway, I don't remember her having any distinguishing characteristics similar to Sam's tattoo, and I want anyone with at least a passing familiarity with the show to be able to identify the show without reading the caption, as can be done with the Sam icon.
