There are certainly more articles where a minority rejects
certain images. But I can't see how a new message box with
that kind of functionality, would enlarge that problem rather
than reduce it. If members of the Bahá'í Faith, creationists,
Africans or Serbians object to certain images now, they can
already cause trouble by removing them. Why should it be any
worse, when there is a possibility to make
[[Wikipedia:Options to not see an image]] more flexible?
We can revert removals and blunt force edit waring will get them
nowhere. Giveing them another tool to forward their campaign though
would make things harder.
But are they still "forwarding their campaign", when they change
their target from "remove those images" to "give us a possibility
to hide them easily"? Besides, why would it be harder to revert
the addition of a "collapse image message box" than reverting
image removals?
