# They're not rules,
they're guidelines.

If it's people obviously suffering in real life then it's not too funny to anybody.

There's some sick humour in shitty cartoon drawings to some people.

# If it helps, there's no hard and fast rules...
It's just that some pictures put people off a lot more than others - this one in particular causes a bit of discomfort, whereas other things such as the twin towers are more of an abstract concept, thus more tolerated (though not completely). That said, there are certain WTC pictures that are also not guaranteed a welcome on here...

"All or nothing" is a principle I can understand in theory, but in practice, some things are just too much for too many people...

# Badly drawn?
Now I'm genuinely offended.
