"The neutral point of view attempts to present ideas and facts in such a fashion that both supporters and opponents can agree.
Exactly. If you take a look at Talk:Clitoris/Image discussion, you will see that all options were offered, and the option of *showing the photo inline* (instead of just a link) got the most votes of all. So your belief that people will readily accept hiding "offensive" images behind links is clearly wrong; many people (including myself) perceive this as an endorsement of a pro-censorship POV and are therefore against it. Even if these people were in the minority, there would hardly be any consensus on the matter.
What I can agree on, on the basis of the Nick Berg poll, is this: If there is 95-100% agreement that an image is offensive, or that it is offensive enough to others that it should be linked, then it should be linked. Currently there is one vote "offensive, but show"; this is the kind of vote which I can agree we can ignore. Removing it, we have 2 in favor of showing inline with 27 in favor of linking. That's still below 95%, but I believe with a large enough sample and a clear policy we would get there (if not, I would be willing to lower the threshold to 90%).
So it appears that you believe that there will be consensus in cases where there clearly won't; that's fine, as long as we agree that consensus is a requirement for hiding an image behind a link.
