Playboy was not abandoning nude pictorials because society had become more moral. It was abandoning these pictorials because society had become so immoral that Playboy’s relatively mild pornography was no longer a draw. Pornography of the most sordid kind was freely available everywhere, so who needed pictures of nude women in Playboy? Porn was now ubiquitous.

That may be part of it, but I think wokeness also played a part. The left does not think it is normal for a heterosexual male to ogle beautiful women. Sports Illustrated has started featuring fat women and trannies in their swimsuit issue. We're not supposed to ogle women, but we are supposed to look at a magazine cover featuring a naked and pregnant Serena Williams and call it "beautiful".

It is not moral to look at pictures of naked women, but it is normal for young heterosexual males to want to do so. The left is at war with everything that was normal. Now a gay dude dressed as a Playboy bunny is supposed to be normal, and only some sort of homophobic hater would disagree with that.
