I'd have to agree that the blanket use of a keyword "objectional" or a
word with that meaning is difficult to come to agreement on within any
community.
For instance I recently uploaded an image which shows a cartoon version
of a mother breastfeeding. I would not find this objectionable in any
way for me or my children. Not everyone may agree with me as to their
children using that image. What if the image was less "cartoon" but
still showed breastfeeding. I'm not asking these questions to be
answered, only to illustrate that the deffinition of "objectionable" is
very much a moving target.
