The closest we could come to a neutral filtering system is an easily
accessible on/off switch for images.
Actually, that is really not a bad idea.
If a user wants to read about bukkake or fisting, rather than seeing it displayed in graphic detail on their screen, they could switch images off, just as a precaution, before they navigate to the page (especially if they sit in an open-plan office).
The same if they are a muslim and want to read about the prophet, but don't want to be surprised by an image of him; or if they're arachnophobic and want to read about the critters without being visually freaked out, etc.
