CENSORSHIP

I just went back to check on one of the blogs I've been following and found that google have put a content warning on it. When I tried to enter I was informed that users had complained about the content and asked if I was sure I wanted to enter as the site contained nudity and extreme violence. I guessed someone must have taken offence to some of the album covers, but they would have had to be looking pretty intently because in general the pictures of album covers aren't that big. I know that many people object to the images many metal band choose as their album covers but I didn't really expect to see censorship present on a blog. It's not as though a blog is right out in mainstream media where everyone can see it. I had to search quite specifically to find this one, I didn't just come across it while I was looking for something else. I guess what I really want to know is if people object to the content so much then why were they looking at it in the first place?
