I agree that this selection does not further our goals of increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects. Thanks to Sarah for speaking.

I mean really? /facepalm
This is the kind of imagery I have no desire to see on the front page of Commons. I'm a very liberal person, but, this makes me not want to even allow my MOTHER to use Commons.

I feel exactly the same way. This is an insult to the people who value the educational spirit of Commons.
I attempted to argue that the image didn't meet the featured criteria of Commons, but was drowned out by voters such as the one who argued without irony, "{{Support}} I like her big tits".
Whether or not Commons should host such images is really a separate argument than whether we want to feature topless anime as the best of the content we have.
