Because it is censored, more people will see it and more people will get the message so I disagree with you but I see your point.

    literally the entire point behind this act is it being explicitly graphic, sharing the uncensored version quite literally goes against that. It's almost as bad as censoring the message from the get go, except now we're actively disrespecting his intention.

    I think the graphic nature can be shared while also censoring the gore. It's not like it changes the events in any way.
