I do see why they have censored it, it could have been offensive in some way to certain people, but I think that there are many more potentially offensive things on en.wikipedia than that. Fair enough, I possibly shouldn't argue this because I haven't heard the full story, but that is just my view.
It's offensive, sure, I think most people agree with that. It isn't illegal though. We have an article on the word "Fuck", that can certainly be considered offensive but it is perfectly correct for us to have an article on it since it is a notable topic and it is impossible to fully discuss the word without using the word. Likewise, it is impossible to fully discuss an image without showing that image.
