You can choose whether or not you bring offensive books or other media into your home, however if you use Windows then you cannot choose not to have Media player on your computer. As it is part of Windows it cannot be removed either (without removing Windows of course), and when you buy Windows you are effectively paying for WMP as well.
At least if offensive media does somehow find its way to you, you can always throw it away, or otherwise avoid it without future inconvenience or expense.
