GRAPHIC CONTENT
The term ‘graphic’ describes something that is extremely realistic or detailed. Realistic visuals or language would use in graphic content. When you hear this term, you’re probably thinking of harsh language, violence, drugs, or sex. For example, If a film will grade R, it is because it contains graphic material.
It is a highly controversial topic. Many believe that exposure to graphic violence leads to desensitization to committing acts of violence in person. It has led to censorship in extreme cases, and regulation in others. One notable case was the creation of the US Entertainment Software Rating Board in 1994. Many nations now require varying degrees of approval from television, movie, and software rating boards before a work can be released to the public.
On the other hand, some critics claim that watching violent media content can be cathartic, providing “acceptable outlets for anti-social impulses.”
Film
In horror, action, and crime films, graphic violence is commonly used. Because of their violence, several of these films have been prohibited in several countries. Because torture and murder are not mimicked, the snuff film pushes horror to its worst.
The “good guys” in superhero movies were on average more aggressive than the villains, perhaps delivering a strong negative message to young viewers, according to a study recently presented at an annual American Academy of Pediatrics conference.
The media reports on events
Violent incidents are routinely covered by the news media on television and online video. A warning that the footage may be unpleasant to some viewers may be broadcast before the coverage begins.
Graphic images are sometimes censored by blurring or blocking a segment of the image, cutting violent parts of an image sequence out of an image sequence, or eliminating chunks of film footage from public view.
Video clips of music
In recent years, graphic and brutal violence has begun to emerge in music videos, with one example being the controversial music video for British rock artist Robbie Williams’ song “Rock DJ,” which contains self-mutilation. The music videos for the songs “Hurricane” by Thirty Seconds to Mars and “Happiness in Slavery” by American industrial rock duo Nine Inch Nails are two more examples of music videos with intense violence. Cattle Decapitation’s music video for “Forced Gender Reassignment” is so graphically violent that it’s hard to see it.
