I didn't originally say "graphic depictions of violence" because I didn't mean to be that exact. There are different degrees between very literal and very abstract. I have no idea where that line lies; I'm only certain graphic depictions of violence crosses it.

If I may phrase this as a retort...

There are different degrees of precision between "covers 1% of possible cases" and "covers 100% of possible cases". Unless the audience is children 5 and under (here's that thing about thresholds again), "violence" is much too general.
