Guro vs. ero-guro: Ero-guro (short for ero guro nansensu, "erotic grotesque nonsense") is not (necessarily) gorn. It is an art movement that uses disturbing, distorted, or surrealist imagery, which may or may not include gore and/or explicit sexual components. Gorn most closely relates to guro, which is a related genre of violent eroticicism/pornography. For instance, these images are ero-guro but not guro, by artists (Suehiro Maruo, Shintaro Kago) who do both.

I'm so confused. Is this trope talking about extreme violence or violence as some sort of sexual fetish?

So why doesn't this page need a picture?

Okay, why was Punisher: War Zone taken out? I mean, the movie includes a scene where Frank Castle punches *through* a baddies face. If that's not gorn...

"That would be a man-in-rubber-suit fetish of some sort gone horribly wrong."

I want to high five whoever put that there so much. XD
