How about the fact that newspaper websites regularly include shocking images of violence and death on their main pages and have few complaints as they rely on editorial control rather than built-in software tricks? This is a solution looking for a problem, the key argument has always been that there is scant evidence that the public are asking for these options and our beloved projects already have a great reputation for good editorial judgement/consensus. If any person, institution, ISP or country wished to control images on Wikipedia they can use readily available add-ons or filters, most for free, without the Foundation having to use charitable funds to build it in as a controversial default and take legal responsibility when it fails.
