For what its worth this image was tame compared to many that have recently been put through the FP process, to satisfy the "not censored" ethos it was decide with much dispute that such images can be FP. I raised the concern that having such images impares a persons ability to participate thus denying the "anyone can contribute" ethos the situation is that if one wishes to participate in the FP process then one must accept these images and if these image are promoted as FP then one accepts that can appear on the main page.
