Need some help with my blacklist. Since gore is blacklisted by default, it covers pretty everything including significantly less harmful things like video game gibs and stuff like post #4365989. Does anyone have a solution that would help?

Topic: alternatives to blacklisting gore?
Posted under General
I'm also surprised guro isn't a tag here. It seems useful in the context of fetishes.
there's gore_focus, death, disembowelment, and snuff, also maybe some individual organs, like intestines. you can also choose to negate some things so, if you're fine with candy_gore you could say gore -candy_gore.

You gotta specify which way you want help, showing more gore? Or less gore?

A gore_fetish tag for characters being aroused by gore/sex acts involving gore isn't a bad idea! I'm also surprised we don't have it

Guro was aliased to gore 14 years ago

It's a hard one because 'gore' is subjective and peoples' tolerances vary wildly. Like I understand why that example image is tagged- the amount of blood is more than realistic, there is an exposed organ being stabbed, and a hole torn into the torso. It's artsier and more passive than stuff I consider gore, but I get it. I do though think there should be some sort of extreme/violent gore tag though or else a sliding scale of gore. It's a losing battle trying to keep people with low gore-tolerance from tagging 'gore' on stuff that wouldn't even register for someone with high tolerance.
We also have a painless_gore tag for when characters appear unbothered by their wounds. My gore blacklist line is: gore -painless_gore -candy_gore

It doesn't help that the wiki description for gore sucks for determining what should be tagged. What is supposed to be tagged, does large volumes of blood count and nothing else count as gore, even if there isnt violence or bloodshed happening?
