I smell self-righteousness on the part of the author.

I knew I made the right choice when I avoided that one.

Yeah, there are a couple that are legitimate (like the Revenge of the Nerds one), but a lot are portraying the person doing the things in a negative light.

Take the Stranger Things one, for instance. Yeah, Steve act a little sleazy, but this allows for some character development when he ends up apologizing and doing the right thing.

I thought it was already established that's not what actually happened in that Ratatouille scene?

Meh, I just skipped most of them and the comments are largely in agreement this sucks. *shrug*

Gilmore Girls: so mocking someone for being a virgin is "straight-up sexual harassment"' now?

Goldfinger: they pick the part where Bond slaps a woman's butt and not the part where he forces himself on Pussy Galore?

The majority of these are just ridiculous, and the few that are accurate are pretty well-known examples - Anakin and Padme's relationship is generally considered to be unintentionally a bit creepy as a result of poor writing, for example, or Revenge of the Nerds (which I haven't seen, and only know of because it's the go-to example for something pretty nasty in hindsight that seemed perfectly innocent at the time).
The only good one is the winner, which was very different from every other entry in that it was just humorously pointing out a moment where the makers of the movie clearly didn't realise what that scene was implying.

I feel like these kind of contests (I assume photoplasties are still contests) are basically asking for people to take things out of context to suit the theme. It's inevitable that they're going to include a bunch of situations where the action was not shown as positive in the source, but imply that it was in the 'plasty. Or they would include situations which aren't really even the correct category twisted to fit it.

On the one hand I say "no shit", but on the other I was somewhat heartened by how many entries pointed out that actual sexual harassment by female characters is often overlooked or played for laughs. That's a point I don't see made very often in the media, so I guess there's some merit to this?

I'm never a fan of the argument that the victim of sexual harrasment was asking for it, but I would argue that a character named Pussy Galore was likely literally written for it.

I think calling out Bond for being a misogynistic boor is frankly a bit passé at this point. We know, and have known for many years, that he would be pretty contemptible if he were a real person.

I've never seen Revenege of the Nerds... is that actually the plot? That's kind of horrifying. Most of the list is BS though.

You could fill up this entire list with any random episode of Family Guy.

Oh yeah, that happens. The Fraternity of Nerds take to sexually bothering a local sorority for some reason. I don't recall if it was because of the bullying, the sports events, or imminent loss of their house...?
