Reporting of lolicon images on Wikimedia Commons (T-H-L-K-D)

Perhaps a legitimate article on the topic could be made, but this one reads like reflexive loli-defense by the Wikipe-tan regulars.

From this statement, Sanger appears to have a very short list of what "erotic art" is. It may possibly include L'Origine du monde (T-H-L-K-D), but, of course, you'd have to prove to him that they are significant beyond the realm of erotic art somehow, since all erotic art is "merely a tool for men to masturbate by".

Well, yes, Mr. Sanger, that is generally what "erotic art" means. I don't see what that has to do with images having artistic merit, unless you believe that once someone has wanked to a picture, that it has been defiled and now belong in the category of pornography. I'm afraid that that would put a lot of other art into the same category though. I wouldn't even be surprised if someone has done it to the Mona Lisa at one time or another.
