I'm just not a guro fan, violence becomes fetishistic when it's in porn. Even if it's not your intent, the context of a violent scene becomes sexual when just minutes away from a sexually charged scene. The ambiance sticks. And it plays weird on a replay you are partially skipping thru. Feels like whiplash.
So it should stay optional like a lot of the other decisions in the game. No need to remove or censor anything, let it be there for people who can get a tug out of it, avoidable for the more mainstream of us. Call me boring if you like, I am very grateful the scenes thus far have been optional and not a hindrance to my experience. If you wanted to add other things I don't like, like poop or gay rape, go for it, it's your game and I have always felt comfortable because there's always a very clear opt-out. Thank you for that.
Gore is usually not tied to sex in regular games. Maybe in some weird japanese ones, but it's usually used for that purpose. So the example does not fit, it's pay off to a tense, dangerous scene in Legends, not a sexual one. So I hope it does not influence taking choice away because that somehow proved something. I think the current status quo serves everyone and more choice is dynamic.
