Good point, Radlafx.
Not only could one hit a "content advisory" thumb by accident in the wrong situation - I wouldn't want to view nudity when I'm at work, could get me in trouble! - there's also the fact that a significant percentage of the uploaded images contains nudity. What impression does a site make when you have sequences like this (depends on the gallery, of course):
You'll catch my drift. A thumbnail page like that would look very weird to my boss if he were to watch over my shoulder.

(Comparisons with drugs or alcohol might be in order).
No, it's better to hide those thumbs from view when the nudity filter is enabled.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
