Because that would make *them* happy, as they would have an encyclopedia
without those images in it, and it would make *us* happy, because we can
make the best encyclopedia we can, without having to compomise the
content.

Now you: why not?

Because I want an encyclopedia that is as good as possible for *me*, and
I am not a kid. Having to filter content will either have a detrimental
effect on that ideal encyclopedia, or it will have no effect, in which
case: why bother.

Oh, and by the way, the same mechanism can certainly not be used to
filter WP for children... Imagine a 15-year old boy reading, let's say,
[[Autofellatio]], and there's a link saying "Don't click when you are
not allowed to see adult content, please"...
