Should the time-honoured greeting style change, changing it to match assumed straight preference makes it overtly sexual as opposed to each user getting the same category of image. User’s gender, even if disclosed, does not inform their preference.

That said, I don’t think there is an expectation to be presented with sexually attractive content upon signing up for a light forum, the best, most inclusive greeting should be something non-sexual. Cute animals, gorgeous landscapes, impressive feats of engineering, or indeed very cool lights, there’s so much non-sexually attractive imagery to choose from.
