I feel like this over censorship has to be detrimental to their fight against impure thoughts...
Like 98% of guys would just see the woman's legs find it unremarkable, and move on. But now that its censored, its marked as something to be lust worthy. Now everyone seeing the image is imagining the legs a having a sexual value worth obscuring.
It's a job-creation program for junior mullahs who are skilled enough to be able to operate a Sharpie.
Something similar used to happen in Saudi Arabia. Young men from a highly observant backgound would sign up for the muttawa'a (the morality police) in order to get a chance to see some ankle, and possibly even to speak to a woman who's not a blood relative (mainly to say "hide your shame!").
