Gore in shooters is culturally treated as much less "violent" than e.g. graphic scenes of suicide. You could make an argument that it shouldn't be, but it is.

Most shooters are an abstraction, i.e. you're not really shooting anyone.

You are, but you're not.

Most of them are in the same league of violence that an aggressive debate would be in.
