I don't know the social damage that stuff Rob makes causes.
(yelling fire in a theater can kill people)
More to domweb's point,
I did see the movie Hostel, and it depicted non consensual violence like the murder and mutilation of imprisoned people in a non fictitious manner. Very realistic with the screaming and the cutting of flesh and the burning out of women's eyeballs with a welding torch. I get your point.

Obscenity charges are different though, they vary from community to community, and are subject to the interpretation of local judges, some of whom would probably like to charge the makers of Hostel as well.

Either way, that's nasty stuff all around, not in my wheelhouse, someone else's battle. I just hate to see the ugly head of censorship poking it's head out of it's cave.
