I'd like to emphasize Carsten's point there-- many users (though I can't say
how many) don't mind the otherwise shocking images when displayed in certain
contexts; particularly medical, war, or art subjects.

A filter that is sensitive to whether a user has such a preference would be
more ideal than one that blindly blocks each image for a certain user no
matter the context.
