Tierrie: Breasts in themselves are not offensive, however they are beyond the limits for images that we are OK with on Wikia. Our Terms of Use are something that you agree to in editing on Wikia, and are not something that a community can decide not to follow. The reply would be the same if a community decided to not use the Creative Commons license, or decided to allow people to share passwords on the wiki. Local decisions apply in most content decisions, but not where the content is outside our Terms of Use.

King Cousland: I believe it is possible to write about 18+ topics in a non-explicit way. I'm happy to help advise on that if you need it.

Removing problem images is not a new thing, the change is that we are being more proactive about it now, rather than waiting for complaints or just removing images we happened to notice. We didn't have complaints about this specific image before the review process started, but we have had complaints about content on Wikia as a whole.

The Milkman: We're trying to find the right balance here. As well as images of explicit sex and nudity, we are deleting very extreme images of gore and violence. Most game and movie images do not fall in to this group. I think that so far, the only non-real images I've seen that went too far were a couple of very bad ones from the Saw movies. Most gore images deleted have been real photos of the most extreme type.

Barba.mimos: As you say, it's not the same sort of art. I actually had exactly the same point from a wiki showing hentai last week. But there is culturally a difference between classical nudes in art, and game imagery or other nudity. I certainly don't claim it's logical, but it's a part of the cultural norms that we need to consider.

Rathian Warrior: What about the version I uploaded above? This shows the character, but in a framing that doesn't show the breasts. I think that the vast majority of cases it's possible to find alternatives like that which will stay within the ToU but not diminish the article.

As I mentioned above to the original question, this is a new process of proactive monitoring. So it's likely that those 5 images you mention will be deleted some time over the coming weeks. This wasn't picking out Dragon Age as an example, it was just that this images was pointed out to us (because another wiki had the same image deleted). If it hadn't been pointed out, then it would have been deleted when we reached that image naturally.
