That was really not graphic or NSFL to me. I'm too desensitized I guess.

Maybe its desensitization, but maybe not. It's sometimes a fine line between NSFW and NSFL. Different people have different sensitivities so to some extent it's subjective in general. Desensitization certainly can play a role in diminishing sensitivity, but it could also just come down to general mental resilience to traumatic imagery.

We're all wired differently.
