> Saying their product perpetuates stereotypes but ignoring its reflecting the entirety of medias bias is ignoring that all media perpetuates these stereotypes

Not being further up on a hierarchy of many bad actors doesn't absolve you from responsibility. What goes into these models is an editorial decision, as is which one to use in your software. This author isn't distributing models and they aren't being held to task over the model's content— they're generating images from those models and distributing them, and those images are what bother people. If they used the same model but somehow didn't get objectionable results, nobody would know, let alone care.

You say the media is to blame? Sure. When you start generating content with a particular perspective, you are media.
