I would prefer it if they said something like,
"Some of us find this photoshoot offensive because [insert reason here]. However, other people might not find it to be such. We would appreciate an apology though."
Or something, and leave it there.

Why is it their job to express the opinions of others?
Because sometimes people have the same opinions. It's best to leave the model just one message so that she gets the point that some people are offended, and leave it there.

Oh, told by who - the National Inquirer? I find it absolutely astounding that people laugh when they tell stories of J-Lo's cellulite, but cling to their claim of her rampant racism as though it's the Gospel truth.
Do I think she was entitled to her shows? No. But she is entitled to her life, which has been summarily ruined by mob justice thanks to SJW's.
Only it's not. Example 1, Example 2. Not to mention his Twitter account has been both unverified and censored from time to time. Just because he has "extreme views" (and what are those "extreme views", really?) is no excuse.
And that someone modeling as another culture - respectfully and beautifully - is seen as "insensitive" (unintentional or not) is just sad.
Example. This is a good one; how dare he show history!
They do that to themselves, with every riot they incite.
No, that's not at all what I said; don't put words in my mouth. I don't want them to be silent because I disagree with them, I don't want my life - and the lives of others - ruined because they disagree with us.
Yeah we were both doing it satirically. I've been involved in activism and have never in my life met someone who wasn't claiming the title sardonically.
It may become one of those reclaimed slurs.
Has that ever happened?

It was an analogy, but it wouldn't be hard to find rough equivalents.

From my perspective, criticism and debate are good things. Free speech is an essential thing.
In many cases, SJWs attempt (and sometimes succeed), in shutting down speech. Of course I defend their right to disagree and debate. But they cross the line when they shut down speech they don't like.

Micro ****ing aggressions are such a moronic concept that in comparison they make the idea of cultural appropriation seem as intellectually titanic as Hume's Treatise on Human Nature.
The article in the OP mentioned two comments:
So you think these comments were inappropriate?
I don't see any "shutting down speech" described in the article you linked to. Do you?
I was responding to the fact that many SJWs tend to crowd people and sort of comment-bomb until an apology is given.

Also to re-address this, I do not demonize SJW's; I criticize and condemn their actions. Demonizing a group is stuff like "All Conservatives are racist" or "People who don't applaud Caitlyn Jenner are homophobic." or anything said about the average Trump supporter, really. Statements that have little evidence, and operate off fear and social stigma. Racist. Homophobic. Xenophobic.
Contrasting this, SJW actions speak for themselves. They are apparent, and their effects are apparent. We see the fires burn. We read the death threats. We see the lectures shut down and the teachers suspended.
Sure you don't.

Show me, then, where I have unjustly pigeon-holed SJW's as a certain type of anything, or judged them on their person rather than their actions.
That sounds more like the tactics of the alt-right... the gamergate scandal being one example, or the many cases of doxxing "SJWs".
I'll note that many (most?) SJWs will outgrow this phase.
So tis best to remember to condemn the behavior, not necessarily the person.
If this sounds condescending, it is.
It's unavoidable when talking about young whippersnappers.

IOW, it doesn't count as demonization if they're actually demons, and you've convinced yourself that they are.
I'd say it approaches shutting down speech. There are probably people who appreciate non-Japanese women dressing like Geishas. In this case, the SJWs are negatively impacting those people's right to see that expression. Of course this is not an extreme case.
But it falls into the category of SJWs shutting down free speech. They get speakers uninvited. They ruin lectures. Recently in Berkeley they used violence to create a last minute cancelation. (The Milo incident.)
So no matter how you feel about Milo, you have the right to hear him speak. Perhaps you are a critic of his, and you want to gather data to criticize him. EVERYONE has the right to LISTEN to other's opinions, offensive or not.
This is a tactic of the left too, eg, characterizing the entire alt-right by the behavior of a few.
You seem quite unfamiliar with SJWs, imo.
