Am I alaone in completely failing to understand what the fuss is about?<br>
The image is not pornographic, exploitative, illegal or otherwise<br>
inapropriate for featured picture status.<br></blockquote><div><br>The image is also not artistically, historically, or culturally significant, unlike all the other examples you cited. The only reason it&#39;s featured is because it&#39;s sexually arousing to anime fanboys who happen to dominate the culture of Wikimedia Commons. I don&#39;t need to crawl into a semantic rabbit-hole to defend this observation. I think its obvious to any reasonable person. If the image would be embarrassing to pull up in front of a classful of students, it shouldn&#39;t be on the Commons Main Page.<br>
