I think your second question is the real kicker. I find lots of things offensive and it doesn't surprise me that someone might find this poster offensive, but why would anyone refuse to visit an entire site over one offensive thing?

imbd often has movie posters and trailers on their front page for terribly offensive films like the Twilight saga or The Lord of the Rings, but that doesn't stop me from visiting the site to view the vast library of information it contains.

I'm a big fan of spite, but this is going a bit far.

I also really enjoy the irony of someone visiting a site that aids and abets copyright infringement (viewed by many on this board as a "crime" akin to theft), but leaves the site due to almost nudity. I think that moral compass must have encountered some magnetic interference. I'm also enjoying the idea (though I'm sure it's not the case) that this person went to this site in hopes of downloading some Japanese gore films.
