Seriously, what's the deal with voyeuristic fan art in the wiki?

People were already pushing it by adding multiple images to hentai games. But do we really need to add extremely sexualized or just downright voyeuristic images to the wiki galleries of all characters ? 
 
A couple of months ago I was looking through the Samus Aran gallery for a decent image of a morph ball - her iconic ability. But I had to wade through 300 pieces of "fan art" - most of which had Samus looking like a 10 year with boobs the size of a planet. These images are Samus only in name and are worthless from a usability point of view. They just end up cluttering up the main image galleries, making it ineffectual and hard to use. Today, I was trying to use the Momohime gallery and had to sort through images like the ones below. I'd love to hear the justification behind adding them to the wiki gallery. The funny thing is that these aren't even the worst.  
 
Edit: Somehow this thread has become about carpet banning fan art, which was never my intention. Just be more discerning with what you add to the wiki people.  
 
Stay classy, Giant Bomb!
  

O.O

You are not helping by posting the pictures here. 

when you're in the image gallery, click on the panel on the right. the images are separated into categories to easily avoid the fan art. 

We're no Anime Vice, but I agree that all fan art should be abolished from our wiki pages.  Really, they serve no purpose.

Yeah....those are disgusting...
I better go do some research so i know what not to look at in the future
...scuse me.

Fap fap fap.  OH WAIT...

what is the problem?

" @FluxWaveZ: There's a category for fan art, deal with it. "

" @FluxWaveZ: too bad you don't get to lay the law of the land then, or our top image posters wouldn't even bother to post things on the site-.- "

But I'd like it better if they weren't there to clutter the images in our wiki. "

There's some fucked up shit on the wiki, that's for sure.

I have nothing to add to this conversation.

" @The_Laughing_Man: I see that. though it's not to say that they doesn't add anything to the site, the same way having in game pictures of "rapelay" is would be considered "helpful" and contribute to the site. "

From the site FAQ:

Image upload best practices

Do not submit images with watermarks! Submit high rez images under 1 meg in size whenever possible.

• Images can include box art, screenshots, concept art, fan art, and more. When uploading images, we strongly encourage users to either associate their images with an appropriate gallery, or create a new gallery when necessary.
• Avoid adding images tagged or watermarked with other sites' URLs.
• Nudity is not allowed in the message boards. Hentai or nude images are only allowed in the wiki or the wiki's gallery IF it is official art from the publisher ( So no hentai fan art in the wiki or wiki galleries ). Hentai, unofficial art and unofficial hentai are allowed on profile image galleries.

 

Curse you Anime!

Thats is actual game art. Not something someone drew. That is the main difference.  "

Just so people know the correct term for pornographic anime based images is  エッチ (H). Hentai is just a Japanese word for pervert

It's incredibly nonsensical that nude or near nude REAL women are not allowed on this site but fake cartoon ones are.

" If i recall memes and all community related information can be added to game pages. "

ahaha. listen to yourself. So porn in games are ok, but nudity by fans is not? so you're against all fan art? great work excluding a great part of the videogame community. That's not what this site is about, it's about embracing all sides of videogames and collecting them in ONE place. ONE wiki. "

" @FluxWaveZ:  Just look at the Funky Student page "

This thread is hilarious.
 
Really though, if there is a way to "report" images, that would be ideal.

It's weird shit like this that keeps Anime Vice the wasteland that it is. You go looking for some decent anime to watch and get confronted with this kind of... 
imagery.

The gallery you see at the top of the wiki page is just full of images from the whole site related to the character. I'd argue it's about as much part of the "wiki" as the recent forum/blog posts list underneath it is.
 
Fan art shouldn't be embedded in a wiki article because that's not an official or reputable portrayal of the character, but fan art on the site in general is cool.

Giantbomb - For all your hentai needs! 
 

There's a reason why google knows Giantbomb is a place naked cartoons.

Yeah, nudity is not allowed in the wiki galleries but there's nothing wrong with fan art. However, you're not helping by duplicating the disallowed content here.

Fan art is allowed but fan art with nudity isn't.

Ya, your original comment actually made me laugh out loud (LOL for the layman).  So you win my respect and a follow?  That sounds reasonable. "
