The question in the thread was about the various reasons for cropping thumbnails, the answer being it was a matter of personal taste of each artist to determine how they wanted to present the thumbnail to the audience. The recent change in the thumbnail policy is directly related to that since it also involves the personal taste of the artist to choose what they want to put in the thumbnail.

If they put more effort into alternatives, like tailoring the nudity filter to allow for some more degree than an all or nothing choice then it might be less hypocritical but that is hard to account for the range of what offends some people or not. That only affects the people who choose to use the filter in their profile.

That doesn't compare to trying to force what your personal taste is to affect everyone. It's like when you see a channel on TV that has some stuff you like but other stuff you don't and instead of changing the channel to avoid the stuff you don't like, you force the cable company to change it to get rid of the stuff you don't like so that everyone can't see it either.

Which is a lot more hypocritical?
