Not at all. If I write something gruesome, I feel bad for whomever's the victim and who is watching (if any). Gruesome(/"Eeww!") like this (This excerpt is from my card game one-shot, ANIM Wars. The story focuses around Rey, Miwa and Emi, three best friends who get invited to a mysterious tournament called the "War".):

Miwa, Rey and Emi walked through the long hallway that lead towards the spectator's area. When they arrived, all three could not take their eyes off of the battlefield. A white wolf with short blue patches of fur, wearing a black, studded harness had taken a girl's place and, with a hint of unnerving bravery, faced their opponent. A black, swirling fog covered her opponent's side of the field, with the only thing able to escape it being glowing lights of various colors.

"That's Luna!" Emi cried, hunched over the brick wall. Miwa and Rey both looked at Emi.

"Luna?" Miwa asked. "The same girl from your old school?"

"Yeah," Emi replied. "That's her. That's definitely her. I know it."

"Who's she fighting?" Rey asked. Miwa looked to the other side of the arena. Dark fog covered the entire other side of the arena. Inside, something with red eyes quickly shifted position and began running. Running towards Luna's Avatar.

"What was that?" Miwa asked. A smoke-covered being with red highlights burst out of the fog and started running circles around Luna. Luna looked around, but could not see her opponent, or anything for that matter. It was like being inside the eye of a pitch-black tornado. Suddenly, Luna gasped as a red-eyed figure appeared out of the fog and sunk it's teeth into her neck.

"Luna!" Emi yelled. Luna's Avatar's eyes made contact with Emi's. They were in indescribable pain. Her opponent raked their fangs down her neck and out of her flesh as quickly as they had sunk them in. A yellow, glowing substance spurt out of the two curving marks. Luna's body quickly became black and grey, as if all life and color had been sucked out of it.

"Was that an attack?" Miwa wondered.

"No," Emi said, checking the statistics on a nearby large screen, which showed the hand, life and focus amounts of each player, along with what cards were in play at the time. "She didn't take any damage from that."

"So..." Rey said, "it was an ability."

"Certainly didn't look like it." Miwa turned his attention back to the fight, now looking at Luna's Avatar in awe. It was standing on all fours, but it seemed lifeless and similar to a ghost or zombie. Out of the nearby black mist approached another demonic beast under the cover of fog; this much smaller one instead having green highlights streaking across its body. Luna's Avatar was helplessly flung back as the green and black "puff" flashed back into the gathering of dark clouds. In a quick, devastating assault, the same red-eyed being broke out of the wall of smoke and grabbed Luna's Avatar by the hind leg and flipped her into the air. Tossing and thrashing the wolf into the ground repeatedly caused the areas where her body hit to become drenched in blood. Soon, the being got tired of hurting its opponent and flung them into a nearby wall like leftover scraps of food. The battle ended with Luna being eliminated from the tournament.

And believe me, there's another gruesome(/"Eeew!") part that happens to Miwa.
