[WikiEN-l] request to Jimbo for out-of-process deletion of image

[MacGyverMagic/Mgm]

In some countries it's also illegal to show a penis or someone
masturbating and we won't have those images deleted from their
respective articles any time soon. I don't think you can call it
surprising the reader when they know what article they're visiting
either.

Perhaps, you'll have a better chance of asking this image to be
replaced with one that doesn't contain an SM bear and dildo.

I also don't think this ia good way to surprise our readers in countries where this image is illegal, and I don't think its inclusion reflects well on the 'pedia or attracts the kind of publicity and readership (and editorship) that we want.  So I wanted to bring the image to your attention. If you're OK with it, or are not OK with deleting it out-of-process, that's your call.

That will certainly result in much typing and probably in no consensus to delete, and I'd rather see if you will just destroy the image before going through all that.
