Go to youtube and search for "unnecessary censorship". It's a comic genre which involves blurring images or bleeping speech in a way that tricks the mind, which assumes censorship for a reason, into supplying the most nefarious, egregious, smutty, or, in this case, the literally gory details. It's a blank slate with an imperative prompt: You must supply the details.

I think it's a finely-calibrated hook, inducing powerfully negative emotions which attract an audience, while retaining plausible deniability. It's your disgusting imagination--shame on you!

The gore you describe walks the fine line between boring the audience by not showing the images, and disgusting them into changing the channel by showing them.

Well played, modern media. Well played.
