Sure. Blood gore internal organs ick yuck.
- Diseases
Depending on the effects? I suppose, yeah, possibly.
- Bioagents
- Chemical Agents
What's to see here? A vial or barrel of the stuff? Or the effects on humans?
- Cracking (in the computer cracking sense)
We have images of this? Let me post a screenshot of nmap, eh? :)
- WWII-era paraphenalia (France/Germany especially)
- Drug paraphenalia
Hmm. This bears some thought, but if you're looking up an article about the Nazi party, I don't know why you shouldn't expect a Nazi flag/insignia/thing.
- Weaponry/bombmaking
- Nuclear and Atomic Manufacturing / Processing Equipment
- Religious symbols
- Demonstrations
- American Presidents (it seems to really chafe some people to look at GW)
- Elections
These proceed from mildly facetious to utterly facetious. :)
I'm not being facetious, unfortunately. I see and read a lot of non-US media (mostly really) and it's amazing the number of things people find offensive.
There's a difference between an image of a thing someone finds offensive and an image which someone finds offensive. I'm offended by... hmm, how about [[Kim Il Sung]]? I am not offended by his image, particularly in a place such as an article about the guy. On the other hand, I may be in for shock and surprise if I happen onto an article about, say, [[Ebola]] and see the results of the disease.
