View submission: Content Policy Update
I picked a few random comments sections from /r/watchpeopledie and /r/gore, and they don't really seem malicious or hostile. I think those communities might just be interested in seeing the harsher side of life that get's covered up often.

That's the point. They may not be malicious or hostile, but they certainly could be "upsetting to the average redditor." The point is that the current policies are extremely vague, and it's impossible to decide what to ban/quarantine based on such subjective terms.

This is why those communities exist.
You would be amazed at what that kind of content can do for someone with certain kinds of PTSD.
