I suspect this is just going to make for more tag wars, tag vandalism and the like. No pictures until the user actually reads, and admits he has read, the content disclaimer. Give him a cookie (and make sure it will expire after the session if he's on a public machine). Casual readers will still get the text but they don't risk coming face to face with Mr Goatsex, Mr Autofellatio, Mr Guy About To Be Shot Dead and Mr Guy Whose Head is being Hacked Off. No need to grade the pictures. They should be chosen according to the nature of the article.
This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater though. There are some pictures absolutely nobody objects to---diagrams in geometry articles, for example.
Here's a good one my girlfriend showed me the other day. Just a geometrical arrangement.

It really doesn't take long to click a "show me pictures" button, agree not to blame Wikipedia if you see something you find unpleasant, and then get on with your life. And it isn't as if our editors need to see pictures in order to edit the pages.
