About Those Creepy Pictures

I've always been more or less aware of photos on the web of Hunter Biden posing with the big guy, often with their heads pointed in the same direction and very similar smiles as though they're in on some big joke. It's almost as if they're trying to be Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in some kind of dance routine. But looking for one to illlustrate posts in the last few days, I've come across others, like the one yesterday and the one above here that are just plain creepy and even verge on softcore porn.

Here's another:

Compare it to this well-known photo of Anderson Cooper and his husband:

But heretofore, the usual questions about the big guy went more to photos like this:

I ask which photo is creepier, the one just above or the one at the top? They both show a troubling lack of boundaries, but the sexier ones with Hunter are clearly posed, deliberate, and probably even taken by a professional photographer in a scheduled shoot. Or actually, given that Hunter and the big guy are dressed differently in one of them (it looks like the one yesterday and the one at the top today were the same shoot), at least two different scheduled shoots with professional lighting. The hair sniffing, in contrast, is a grab shot by a press photographer; nobody planned it. The really creepy shots were planned and paid for.

Up to now, I'd thouight that the Frank Sinatra-Dean Martin dance routines were as bad as things got:

I thought this kind of thing was basically marketing collateral, illustrations that showed any money you gave Hunter was baksheesh to Joe, a safe and productive investment. That may be the case, but there's something else very strange going on here.
