Not Piko, but in my opinion there is a difference in an alluding to a facet of the game, and then full-on shoving it in a reader's face.

For example, we know that when involved in sword combat, it is possible to dismember opponents in various and sundry ways. However, we don't go and chop up a bunch of individuals within the game and they lay out the damaged corpses like some grim jigsaw puzzle to show this in a pic with the torso in the middle and the four limbs and head adjacent to it. Nor do we behead a bunch of people and then stack their heads in some odd macabre pillar for display even though such can be done within the context of playing the game.

Do we have pics with sundered and rent individuals within the pic library of the wiki? Yes. We do not, however, focus primarily on just those details but rather how they present the game universe as a whole.

The pics on Crowley, Last Entry in the Matron's Diary, Lucille Clothilda and numerous other articles all manage to show dark and disturbing aspects of the game in a nuanced way without making them seem hamfisted.
