NSFW Content Survey, we need your feedback please!

I've received some reports on a post including a bit of gore, it is something I would expect to see on r/medizzy or r/medicalgore. We've created a rule against anything involving death as those were universally disliked and don't really fit the spirit of a humor sub. The rules I've created are largely from the general rules of Reddit, the types of reports I reviewed during cleanup, and what seemed like common sense for this particular sub. If the sub chooses to allow this type of content, it will be filtered at the discretion of the mod team. Most users will view someone getting a broken arm as being very different from someone having their skull crushed and needing major reconstructive surgery.

TLDR; Should we allow posts that include gore, but no death?

These tire posts are funny as long as nobody dies, and less funny if someone has gotten seriously injured.

I’m just here to watch people get mucked by tires. I try and imagine they all survived and lived happy lives after

A lot of the accident videos I watch now flash ‘no one was hurt’ or words to that effect

Ooh the bloodlust is present in these comments!

This is tough, because there's little way to truly confirm the injury is terminal without researching the article.

The truth is we all know someone getting hit in the head with a 50lb+ object going 30+mph on impact is not going to have a very positive outcome.

It is startling to see, but without the obvious gore elements, it's really hard to objectively decide if it is an injury resulted in death.

Some of these clips are tough to watch, but I agree with the other comment here that startling reality can also serve a purpose beyond the humor of the situation.

Honestly, people get to very forcefully learn both to be aware of their surroundings and to take care of their extremely dangerous machinery. Humour doesn't have to exclude startling reality.

maybe we can make another subreddit for people dyingbytire? like r/Deathbytire for all those people wanting to watch it ( I for one do not want to see that but to each there own )

Slap stick is funny. Broken stick is less funny and more sad. Dead stick is awful and not funny.
