Indeed. I would only add that there is no reason to bundle "hacking
on free software" with "explicit sexual imagery." It is an
inefficient use of our time as hackers -- and movement builders --
to limit ourselves to only those new contributors that are
interested in both topics.
Humour and being funny is definitly not an inefficent use of my or
anyone else time. Both can be construed to be inappropriate by
someone at some point in time.
These policies as worded prohibit exactly that.
