Well, again, this is part of the hypocritic thinking, where one kind of violence is acceptable, and another isn't, to a particular viewer.

The main difference is subject matter. In regards to their realistic approaches... I don't think anyone is arguing that. I think it's the choice Noe made to include such a scene, in such detail, in his film.
