These are not problems.

I agree. While commendable, OP complicates matters greatly by declaring war on indecency and incompetence. What’s wrong with penises and bad drawings?

  I guess penises do not belong to the movie being drawn.

  Seriously. People spend thousands to travel to Pompeii and walk through tittering about how naughty the Romans were. It's not as if those Romans were any different from the guy drawing dicks on a blank webpage. And if 2 measly millennia is all it takes to confer archaeological significance on phallic graffiti, why not just get ahead of the herd, take the long view (so to speak), and appreciate your own culture in all its messy future significance in the here and now?

  by allowing penis drawings it pulls any artwork generated to be penis focused. Crowdsourced art suffers if it can only ever be about the penis is mightier than the sword. Bad drawings likewise limit the aesthetic of what is possible.

  Well, the problem is some of those aren't even drawings. Some minimum effort should be made even if you don't want to trace the frame.

    So nice penises are ok?

  There's nothing wrong with it morally, at least in my opinion. There's just the practical issue of how to deal with all the penis drawings. Also, it is just annoying behavior. People think they are being funny, but it is the equivalent of a child writing P O O P everywhere. It is mildly fun for them, but tiresome for everyone else. It isn't in the spirit of the group effort, and just takes the fun out of it for people who actually want to make something.

Yeah I mean the whole thing could be done with an ffmpeg one-liner if that was the goal, but emergent web phenomena like this are rare and few between. Reminds me of the million dollar homepage.

Seriously, it's not like they are trying to win an Oscar. If someone puts a random penis in the middle - great, it makes the work all that more interesting. That is what crowdsourced art is all about.

Seriously... This is MSCHF, they basically do social experiments. Seeing how people use/abuse this is part of the plan.

It is if your goal is to recreate Bee Movie. By claiming those are not problems, I can present 60,000-ish frames of random scribbles and call it a reproduction of Bee Movie. There should be some effort made to actually achieve the stated goal. And while the occasional one-off joke frame could be funny, everyone wants to be that guy. So the thing becomes nothing but a string of joke frames, most of which are not even remotely funny.
