Absolutely, this is not censorship.
Wikipedia image policy 'suggests' discussing objectionable images before adding. This wasn't done for the autofellatio image.
When someone wanted to delete the image they were asked to get a consensus for deletion. This was a mistake (IMO). And allowed a minority vote to keep the image.
Jimbo intervened and changed it. Now there is a vote on consensus to add or link, more in line with the existing policy (IMO).
Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Profanity policies seem to be working amazingly well, considering how simple, vague and open to interpretation they are.
Just because the community decides not to use an objectionable image doesn't mean we are censoring.
