"Graphic violence" meant "violence in images" in my lifetime. Because so many people "learn" words by guessing their meaning from context, it now means what Anthony Burgess called "ultraviolence" in A Clockwork Orange. Cartoons have already had several re-thinking of what's appropriate as norms have changed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censored_Eleven |

I doubt that
> graphic (adj.) "vivid, describing accurately ," 1660s (graphically "vividly" is from 1570s) [...] Meaning "pertaining to drawing" is from 1756.
