Have a few questions. 1) Did they not have any pictures of missing woman?

2) In lieu of pic of missing woman, why did they not show pic of actual aboriginal woman?

3) What the fuck were they thinking before deciding that this pic would be an accurate representation of missing woman? Leaving the screen blank would have been preferable ffs.

Add : And yes, even showing a pic if actual native woman rather than missing woman is insulting. They are not all the same. FUCK

ADD: An observant redditor just brought something to my attention that changes my comment. The post was about "missing women", not a missing woman and had I been paying enough attention while reading I would have caught that. A stock photo of an actual indigenous woman (from one of the tribes feautured in the story) would have been sufficient. Of course, best of all would have been a photo of one of the missing women and it's hard to believe they didn't have one.

This is most likely the result of someone in production thinking they are hilarious. I used to do that exact job I just didn't try to slip anything by the director, but lots of bored people in graphic production do try to slip things through.
