I disagree. Maid outfits are iconic, but they have some variety.
Take it from a guy that is obsessed with maid outfits.

Our agenda was this.
Mod: "I want to suggest this crossdressing image. It's cute, well-made, and I want to give cute feminine stallions a shot at the featured image."
Staff: "Sounds good. Put it up for vote suggestion."
**Staff votes for featured image.**
**Crossdressing pony wins.**
Mod: "Nice. I hope everyone enjoys this."
That's it. No PC agenda. No arm-twisting from anyone. No bias. It competed with every other image in a fair way and won because the staff liked it.
Just because we feature something progressive or liberal doesn't mean we're buying into PC culture or SJW culture. It means that we're treating this equally. We could very well vote in a religious image one day because it's good and we feel it needs a feature. Does we mean we're suddenly pushing a conservative agenda? Hell no, but we're likely going to get accused of it.
It's funny when people who complain and get banned cite freedom of speech as their defense. We're practicing freedom of speech and freedom of expression by allowing anything within the rules an equal chance at this spot. Censoring images that may upset people on any side out of fear of retaliation violates freedom of speech and freedom of expression. People need to realize when they say "I don't like this, please stop featuring this," they are encroaching on the freedoms and rights of others. People have the freedom to not like an image of a stallion wearing a maid outfit, but people do not have the freedom to stop others from enjoying it because they don't like it.
