IMPORTANT: Due to the large amount of incorrectly tagged ratings, please read the notice below. Apology for everyone who has been following the rules.
Explicit and Questionable rating applies ONLY to SEXUAL content. Under NO circumstances should guro, unless featuring traits found on the howto:rate page, be rated anything but Safe, even if EXTREME GRAPHIC violence is depicted.
Guro is a Japanese term derived from the English word “grotesque”. It is a genre of art dealing with themes of gore, mutilation, disfigurement, extreme violence or something that's just weird beyond comprehension (though the last one is considered an archaic definition).
Guro does NOT simply refer to violent or bloody imagery, but in fact EXTREME GRAPHIC violence. Do not use this tag for images where the blood tag would suffice.
Note: While guro is allowed on Danbooru the art is held to a higher standard than other images. Think twice before uploading.
The following tags are aliased to this tag: gore (learn more).
