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

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.
