I think a lot of us make a distinction between cartoon gore like Evil Dead, Dead Alive / Brain Dead, real gore in things like Texas Chainsaw, or even Devil's
Rejetcs where you see something happen ... and films where they show you the torture instrument, show you the area it will be applied, show you the torture instrument approaching the area, and then have an entire scene of graphically applying the knife, blow torch, ax, battery cables in clinical detail.
One is about making the gore real enough so that you are scared that it will happen to the protagonist / you ... the other is about something else ... much like a film like Basic Instinct - pure entertainment drivel - is about the interplay with the characters even though it has the famous "shot seen round the world" but if you want to see genital pounding penetration up close and personal, that's a another kind of movie.
There's also a difference between the cathartic and fun gallons of blood in Evil Dead and Dead Alive and Gorno as well.
So bear in mind that most of the old timers here that say they don't go much for the kids these days and their Gorno, delight and thrill at seeing a head lopped off and blood spray all over the wall in your classic (70's-90's) horror film, make films of that nature, and buy tickets to see them.
There's a difference, we're not anti-gore, just anti-gore porn though not really "anti" speaking for myself, so much as somewhat uncomfortable watching, though I choose to cringe through them anyway sometimes.
