Each category has its own range for what is objectionable. "Sexually explicit" runs from suggestive almost nudity to goatse.cx. Others might find the extreme views of "creation science" and "holocaust denial" to be just as objectionable.

Creation science and holocaust denial are objectionable, but they are presented as opinion, not fact. That is the main difference. You cant make an NPOV photograph.

So, umm, just what opinions does a photograph have? As long as they aren't doctored or staged, photographs are about as NPOV as it gets around here. You _can_ make a POV photograph, but you have to try. The inclusion or not is where the POV usually starts to creep in. And it seems to be trying to do so now.
