Any action should have a valid reasoning. He exchanged the image with a rather offending comment to everyone that sees sexuality as an equal topic to anything else.
No, I didn't. This is what I said:
"Changing to something that's less fapworthy, more educational. While I have no problems with erotic fantasies, even of the derivative and artistically unimportant kind depicted here, IMO the main page of Commons usually isn't the place for it."
This comment clearly shows that I - think sexual topics *are* appropriate for the front page of Commons, under certain circumstances - think this image doesn't meet those criteria
Many of you have this impression that I removed the image just because it had sexual content. If you have that impression, it is not arising from anything I said or did. It is solely due to your prejudiced ideas about who you think your opponents are. Repeat. It is solely due to your prejudiced ideas about who you think your opponents are.
You may also be unfamiliar with the purpose of Commons, which states explicitly that it isn't a venue for personal artistic works that have little educational value. I thought it was a no-brainer to remove the image from the front page of Commons, just for that reason, and the fact that it was offensive to some people or inappropriate at most workplaces or schools was just extra justification.
If I hear another of you bleat "COMMONS ISN'T CENSORED" or "DAMN YOU AMERICANS AND YOUR BLUENOSE STANDARDS" I'm going to have to file you in the troll folder.
