I don't know what the complainant's beef was but isn't there a point to the concern that the actress was "portraying" a 14 year old girl, and portraying a 14 year old girl with no clothes on. One of the features of narrative arts is that viewers, readers listeners suspend their disbelief - so for this film to work we have to believe that a 14 year old is getting naked. The issue seems to be no different from the portrayal of extreme violence - no pregnant asylum seeker really gets eviscerated with a rusty table fork by a crazed Hells Angel - but that that is what is portrayed is the issue. Having said all that I'm not sure I would find either this poster or my made up example offensive - and if I did I would just stay out of their way.
