I saw this a few days ago on my friendslist and it did make me frustrated. There are a number of even default usericons that are far more offensive to me than would be a picture of a mother breast feeding, aureola showing or not! And as has been pointed out numerous times, how large an aureola is can depend a lot upon the skin tones of the woman in question.
I do agree with someone above, however, that said they need to be working the inconsistencies in LJ's abuse team more. To me, that's the real heart of the problem. When LJ went to a site that was purchased by SixApart, SixApart needed to start forking out the dough for real abuse people, not volunteers, because volunteers unless they are extremely professional are going to be cliquish, and more importantly are going to change from time to time. What one group says is okay, another group might not say is okay, and so you start having inconsistencies and people get (rightly) pissed off...
