I would agree that Black Sun tends to heighten violence and gore, but I think it does so commensurate to our levels of desensitization.
And that makes it part of the problem. We have low empathy for violence, so movies have to get bloodier to impress us, so the level of empathy goes down even more. This is a road to nowhere and sooner or later you will have to turn off it. Plus, I don?t understand why fantasy is chosen to show extra-violence (this now applies not only to the Black Sun, but in general). In more realistic genres, it would be easier to arouse empathy in the audience.

I would simply ask that you look at
why
, not how Black Sun chooses the direction it does. Context is extremely important and we often forget that the term
edgy
used to label media that pushed boundaries.
And the problem is that the Black Sun did not cope with this. Again, the topic dedicated to him confirms this. And the wrong message sometimes only hurts.

Here is an article about the hypocrisy in violent entertainment:
https://supreme.findlaw.com/legal-co...hostel-ii.html
It's fairly short and worth a read. I'm not here to say anyone is wrong about their feelings for the show. As someone who abhors violence the more and more I get older, I've had to constantly re-examine my relationship with much of tokusatsu.
I agree with the article for the most part. Perhaps my position is that it is important to understand that hyper-violence does not equal reality. A dystopia is just as impossible as a utopia. As someone who is in a country at war, I can safely say that in war the best and worst manifestations of human nature are encountered in almost the same way and none of them outweigh the others. Actually, even the war itself takes place only so that there is peace in another corner of the globe.
