The selection of labels isn't supposed to be unbiased. Users select whichever labels they want. All you have to do is make sure it's easy for people to create new labels if none of the existing ones fit their needs, and you're sorted.
That won't work, for several reasons. First, the proposal as made in the referendum talks about 5 to 10 categories. Thus, after 10 people have created their labels, there are none left.
That was just an example. There's no reason the final implementation has to work that way.
Second, even if they create labels, there needs to be someone to do the labelling - asking someone who doesn't want to see certain pictures to select all such pictures himself
by
hand doesn't seem to be a very effective way of working if he really does not want to see the pictures.
I don't think that will actually be a problem. There are plenty of people that want to tell other people what not to look at but don't feel bound by the same rules themselves. They can label the images.
