MetaHow horrific is too horrific?

As a circle designed to record male violence, this circle is almost entirely full of potentially distressing material. It's important to recognise the issue of male violence, but it's also true that it's emotionally draining and can be disturbing to be exposed to this material constantly, and that some material can be more upsetting than others.

I'm proposing guidelines that material that has a heightened likelihood of disturbing readers is flagged NSFW (in lieu of a trigger warning.) So far, I've identified child sexual abuse and infanticide as sensitive content that needs to be flagged. I'd like input on any other categories of male violence which might also be included in this list.

I want this to be fine-tuned so that it's not too narrow or too broad: the nature of this circle is that it's all fucking horrific, so it might be tricky to work out what's horrific horrifc, and what's just regular horrific.
