	Comments:	https://meaning-book.com/blog/20190527165117.html claims 「激写」とは「げきしゃ」という読み方をする言葉で、写真家の篠山紀信氏が女性モデルにセクシーに美しく撮影したグラビア写真シリーズの雑誌になったタイトルのことです。 so photographer SHINOYAMA Kishin used 激写 in the 1970's for a series of gravure photobooks and from there it spread to a wider use, but it seems that this original use is still dominant and needs mentioning

	Comments:	It's nothing pertaining to the word itself, just that as expected a lot of its usage is by people with an interest for women. Also unless I am mistaken it's faulty English
