Hooray for letting American prurience and Larry Sanger's oddities shape the project.
The tolerance of sexual imagery on Wikimedia is a byproduct of Western liberal provincialism. Putting sensitivity to the cultural attitudes of others above (thoroughly hypocritical) ideals of non-censorship is essential to Wikimedia's long-term success, and I'm glad to see that people are finally being forced to deal with this.
I would prefer those ideals to be applied non-hypocritically. Isn't the whole concept of peacefully sharing knowledge (wikis) a byproduct of "western liberal provincialism"?
