The discussion you link to shows the usual conspiracy theories, but this seems to me to have all the usual hallmarks of enough people thinking the item is inappropriate and just flagging it.
If you hang around long enough, and pay really close attention, you start to see the dynamics at work. Most people just throw up their hands and shout "Conspiracy! Conspiracy!" and demand answers from TPTB. But frankly, this just looks normal to me.
