The idea of "the test" sounds plausible. I wonder if there is evidence that this happens regularly.
However, I kinda have a hard time taking arguments seriously which rely on judging certain people to be "weird".
"Alas [...] Eight of the top 50 are marked “NSFW” (not safe for work)." This is straight 19th century stuff. I think it's safe to say that western art lost its "safe for work" status like 200 years ago. I suggest the author should grow up and get an education..
