First my sincere congratulations to the entire team that works every

The reason for writing to you is to have found in a package called
openclipart2 clipsarts clearly sexist content in which women are
presented as sex objects. So I ask you to withdraw these images and
improve its protocols for such content is not put back into their
servers.
I hate that my children may find these images when they perform their
work for the school.
Only in Spain during 2015 male violence he has killed 62 women. Do
not you contribute to promoting ideas about women favoring these
behaviors.

I will note that the package is not available for Jessie or Stretch
except as a download from Sid.I gather the package maintainer has a
problem with it too. Perhaps the openclipart packages should be
divided into categories which would allow for more targeted downloads.
People looking for animal clipart, for example, may not want furniture
clipart installed as well. This would allow for "sexy-female" and
"sexy-male" packages that aren't installed except by explicit request.
My apologies for the above comment. Up until reading Fernando's post, I
wasn't aware of openclipart2. I note that it is substantially larger
than openclipart and is organized by contributor, not by topic.
Following my suggestion would be hugely time consuming and achieve very
little.
Looking at the images that were identified, I find little justification
in the original complaint. One can easily accidentally stumble across
far more provocative content on Facebook.
