We understand there are some reasons to post violent Contributions (e.g., for educational, newsworthy, artistic, satire, documentary, etc. purposes) so if you’re going to post Contributions that is violent in nature that does not violate these terms, ensure you provide context to the viewer so the reason for the Contributions is clear.
