Hiho,
I had to go back and find this original post (or was there more that I
missed? ... not watching this list so closely at the moment), to see
what the fuzz was all about.
My 2 cents:
The picture per se is not so much the problem, I think, the alternative
picture suggested (jokingly?) by the person using <male> as nickname
would be problematic. But more importantly, I get the impression (from
his remark about the angry wife) that the person using <male> as
nickname in the IRC has a serious problem with his wife, and respect
towards her, and maybe women in general, and I can't escape the
impression that his marriage is suffering from it. But alas, there's
only so much you can interpret into a short chat history that you
didn't partake in.

Before I begin this reply I must first (and I do suggest that you all do the same) go inform my assistant to hurry up and boil some pitch, for it will soon be needed if we are to tar and feather this rogue, nay, this scoundrel who calls himself '<male>' on IRC. Ah, but before we put to shame this impudent wretch, let us take a moment to consider the gravity of his evil deed. Let us review the transcript once more:
<male> falktx_: I had to look up the image to see what he was talking about... hardly offensive.
Here, the evil one appears to saying that he researched the image that Shane Richards compared to pornography, and found it to be nothing of the sort. Only a true villain could be so blind to the fact that everything seen through holy eyes is pornographic.
<falktx_> this pic: http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/tmp/scr124.png
<falktx_> it's Hatsune Miku
<falktx_> a big thing on japanese culture actually
<falktx_> I've switched the default to be without her pose, but the 12.04.1 KXStudio ISO will remain with that as default
<falktx_> I think it's very cute
<hurfadurf> haha, oh man.
<male> falktx_: Ah, but you're not a 350lbs angry wife.
<nilsge> falktx_: you are ecchi, man
<nilsge> lol
<hurfadurf> male: whoa, shots fired!
<hurfadurf> haha
Here, 14 year old loser, <falktx_> (not to be confused with an adult man who selflessly devotes massive amounts of his time to developing and maintaining what many consider to be the premier Linux Audio oriented distribution), mentions that he thinks the image of Hatsune Miku is cute. Blasphemy! The rotten prankster <male>, in his twisted little mind, tries to imagine what kind of person would be "not amused" by the image. Because of his low class standing, <male> is clearly aware that "not amused" is a euphemism that (sexist) men use when the searing hatred that often emanates from jealous individuals. He knows that Mr. Richards also referred the individual beaming this hatred as his 'partner', a euphemism for wife... What kind of wife would be jealous of a cute little cartoon doll figure? Why, a morbidly obese one, of course. This kind of accurate and witty humor is exactly what is wrong with the world today. We must stamp it out immediately and instead exalt the kind of impotent, holy rage the Mr. Richards exemplified in his original post, where he reached for people to blame for his own failure to backup his working system.
<male> falktx_: Change it to this (NSFW) in the next release: http://goo.gl/HRFE1
Next, the greasy and fox-like <male> suggests a new image to be the default background. An image that is what everyone who read Mr. Richards original post imagined the background to be, but was disappointed to discover that it was not. By using wit to expose Mr. Richards' comments as misleading, if not libelous, this <male> has delivered a great blow to our righteous indignation. This cannot be allowed.
Forthwith, the tar will be ready! Down with lightly mocking humor. Down with this toxic reasonable-ness. We must not let these devils interfere with our right, nay, our God Given Right, to be offended by any and every thing we see on this Earth, from now till judgement day!
