That argument runs both ways, I'm afraid.
I don't understand. How does it run both ways?
Allow me to present an edited version, prepared for the purpose of supporting the opposing view:
"How do you decide you _don't want_ to see the image before knowing what the image is about? Someone going to [[Autofellatio]] may have no idea what it's about, but once they know, may be quite sure they _do_ want to see a photograph of it.

I added "ease of" for purposes of accuracy: it should have been included in the original comment by NK as well, for precision, since one can use browser preferences to block images.
