Perhaps a warning system before viewing a potentially offensive image may
help? I believe IMSLP.org has a disclaimer message before someone opens a
PDF score for copyright.

It's entirely possible for Wikimedia to do so. It's not entirely censorship,
just a notice, such as "This image/file may contain offensive material."
