LittleDan-
You mean the content is offensive? I think sexually
explicit material falls into a fundimentally different
category. Plus, the [[Christianity]] page doesn't say,
"Jesus Christ is our savior and he will eventualy come
back to smite all of the people who aren't good
christians" (sorry, I don't know much about
christianity, I'm jewish). All it says is different
opinions of different sects of christianity
(hopefully) and doesn't present any as fact. If
christianity is offensive, then so are half the
articles in wikipedia. Just think of World Book, the
current school encyclopedia almost everywhere. They
report on Christianity, but they don't contain
sexually explicit images. If we start to allow this,
then who knows how far it will snowball?
You're missing my point. My point is that, from an NPOV perspective,
sexually explicit content is no different than any other content. It may
offend some people, it may be desired by other people. Singling out
sexualy explicit content for filtering would be a POV decision on our
part, as we would be explicitly supporting filtering in this instance, but
in no other. If we implement any filtering, it should be applicable to all
types of content.
