If we implement an "hide all images" option, then we solved already 95% 
of all possible use cases mentioned before. Now we take on the doubtful 
work to categorize for even lower potential need? I support the "hide 
all" option. But if we have this feature, then, especially then, i see 
absolutely no need for any categorization. Then we create hobby project 
for censors with even less support from the community. I definitely 
can't follow your reasoning in this case.
