Other people want it because of a desire to keep controversial content
out
of their home. Giving these user control over image selection may bring * more* people to Wikipedia, and an article with controversial content. Intellectual curiosity may entice them to click through and see the image now or later. That is a Good Thing.
May or may not. Did you ever live in a politically restrictive country?

Hello Saper,
Could you explain how that you think an user controlled image filter would make a difference to a person who lives on a country politically restricted country? Do you think that it would hurt or help, or make no difference?
Can you help me in understanding in why such a user control feature may possibly bring more people to Wikipedia? I am especially interested in countries where access to information is restricted by the environment, for example by governments, whether the same reasoning applies to them as to less restrictive regions.
I am asking this because I happened to grow up and have first 8 years of my education in such an environment and I still remember those times and how we approached the limited access to information.
