GoreGore refers to any sort of violence, harm, or physical trauma to the body.Warning: This page includes descriptions and depictions of gore with examples hidden under a spoiler tag. |
Blood / Wounds
Small amounts of blood, like a nose bleed, small cuts, scraped knees or blood drop to show a character’s blood color is okay without a filter. Large amounts of gore, like deep cuts and wounds need a moderate gore filter.Spoiler:
"Fake" Gore
Candy gore, sparkle gore, fungus growth, and any sort of non-realistic blood needs to be filtered. However, robotic, flower and plush gore is OK without a filter as long as there is no (real/fake) blood present. Small amounts of gore to show a character's blood color is okay without a filter. Fake gore needs a moderate or ⚠extreme filter depending on the intensity of the representation to real gore/organs.Spoiler:
Bruising
Small bruises, such as a black eye or a bumped knee are fine without a filter. However, extreme bruising (large or multiple bruises) should be under a moderate gore filter.Spoiler:
Flayed/Missing Skin
Visible muscles/tissue and torn skin need to be filtered. If there is no detail beneath the missing skin (i.e., just a color), this uses the moderate gore filter. Detailed tissue and muscle needs an ⚠ extreme filter.Spoiler:
Realistic Meat
Cartoony meat with little detail does not need a filter. Realistic meat with no or minor amounts of blood need a moderate gore filter. If the meat resembles a creature/character, or appears realistic with large amounts of blood it needs an ⚠ extreme filter. See also the Flayed Skin category above.Spoiler:
Visible Innards
Visible cartoonish hearts do not need to be filtered. All other organs (e.g. brains/intestines/lungs) need to be filtered regardless if it is cartoonish or not. If the organs contain extreme detailing, it needs an ⚠ extreme gore filter.* Bones are not considered innards and do not need a filter.
Spoiler:
Spilling Guts/Organs
Any sort of organs or innards (cartoonish or otherwise) outside of the body need an ⚠ extreme gore filter.Spoiler:
Missing Limbs
Simplified or cartoonish bone stumps with a single color are fine without a mask. Those that show moderate detail should be under a moderate gore filter. Detailed musculature requires an ⚠ extreme gore filter. Healed amputations are fine with no filter.Spoiler:
Nail Trauma
Nail trauma, like extremely injured or ripped off nails, need a moderate gore filter.Spoiler:
Eye Trauma
Hollowed, black eyes are ok without a filter. Eyes with injuries and eyeless sockets with visible gore or insides need to a moderate gore filter.Spoiler:
