View submission: An update on subreddit classification efforts
Sounds like a gore tag to me. Medical gore is still gore.

Yeah, I agree - problem is there is no "gore" tag in the options that have been presented, just "violence"; the connotation is different.
I'd be willing to bet there's a subreddit that discusses medical procedures in detail, with photos - that's something that would be genuinely interesting to a portion of Reddit users, and utterly repulsive to others; however, it's not appropriate at all to tag that as "violence".
The problem with trying to over-classify like this is that you end up missing some content completely.

I mod a subreddit for body-focused repetitive disorders, and I'd love a post-specific tag for triggering material. We had a user that kept posting photos of pulled hair (as a means of venting/getting support) and it upset other users who found it disturbing - a tag would help immensely in that case.
