There is a difference between vandalism and honestly contributing media.

I didn't say it did, my comment was mostly directed at the fact that
Steve compared female masturbation with decapitation, something I
found patently offensive.

We point is, we shouldn't censor either Commons or Wikipedia based on
arbitrarily chosen moral guidelines. The goal of Wikipedia,
especially, should be to give people the truth, to cut through all the
moral crap that we inherit from culture and just give people the
information. It's absurd for such a project to say "We should delete
all the pictures of women touching their cooches, because masturbation
is dirty and sinful!".

They show people being executed, which was the point. If you want
pictures of actual decapitations, look no further than the articles on
the Guillotine and the French Revolution.
