Yes we put the "vulva" on the main page and it got quite some attention.
We wanted it this way to test out the reaction of the readers and to
start a discussion about it. The result was as expected. Complains that
it is offensive together with Praises to show what neutrality really is.
After the discussion settled, we opened a Meinungsbild (Poll) to
question if any article/image would be suitable for the main page
(Actually it asked to not allow any topic). The result was very clear.
13 supported the approach to leave out some content from the main page.
233 (95%) were against the approach to hide some subjects from the main
page.
You said that my assumption is wrong. We can repeat this for hundreds of
articles and you would get the same result. Now proof that this
assumption, which is sourced (just look at it) is wrong or say what is
wrong with my assumption (in detail).
