Same. Dozens is *pretty* rare and tends to be to cover cases where something such as a particular character wasn't properly tagged and I'm just being overspecific to match them in an artist's gallery containing a lot of other stuff.
> looking up and pleasuring oneself to a depiction of mutilated bodies is by far over what is and should ever be acceptable.
Why? For one it's fiction, but for another it's only a problem when real because of issues around consent and such matters due to a number of practical consequences. If we had Culture/fantasy-style resurrection & healing technologies? Those who do so would be weird or gross, but harmless.
> i'm not in favor of government censorship or making it illegal but rather a heavy stigma associated with creating and platforming such media,
The issue with that is that the USA among others have amply demonstrated how to do private censorship that *technically* doesn't make them liable for constitutionality/legally but still accomplishes the same.
