User blog comment:Shmacabre203/Is Gore Art?/@comment-25941663-20150408224455

Weirdly enough, I have written a story where gore is literally portrayed as art, although it wasn't the main theme of the story.

Personally, I think that pretty much anything can be considered art. But that's a discussion for another time.

For me, (heavy) gore disgusts me more than it fascinates me. But if depicted subtly and with great care, it can hold a lot of value. Unfortunately, a lot of writers go for gore simply to go for gore. I don't know why, but a lot of people think that by using gore they are making something scary and creepy.

Anyway, it's two o'clock in the morning and I'm very tired. I am pretty sure what I just wrote is an incoherent heap of words so I'll stop writing.
