It would involve more work coding, and more work maintaining tags on
explicit content, and arguments about whether [[Image:Y]] should get
tagged as explicit or not, and so on. But there's no other long term
solution I can think of, because we do need to have boobs and
clitorises in the appropriate places, but people do need to have a
way not to see them if they'd rather not. (Making the user disable
images doesn't count as a solution.) A fork on the basis of
censorship would be unlikely after then.
"Explicit" is majorly POV. However, it would be possible to have NPOV
labels like "bare female breasts" and "human blood". There's been
some
discussion at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/End-user_image_suppression .
You're right -- I realized there was some POV there, but didn't realize
just how much, until Karl explained why on the other thread. In my
reply to him I said something along similar lines to what you seems to
be suggesting.
