>why is literal actual gore (like cartel shit) legal
I assume you don't mean legal, but more so, not frowned upon. Graphic violence can enhance a scene or series over all to show how graphic and violent the world is. It's supposed to make the viewer have a visceral reaction, it should, theoretically, be making you feel a bit sick to your stomach. Adam smasher turning Rebecca into paste makes you hate him even more because he didn't just kill or off screen or drop her off a building to die in a zoomed out camera, or even shoot her in the chest. There is no coming back, she did not survive that, Adam Smasher turned her into hamburger. It's gross. It's terrible. It's sad.
>but then loli shit ... is treated the way it is?
Because while having Rebecca have a "loli" or "childs" body in the world of Cyberpunk CAN have that same visceral reaction to the absolute fucked up society of the future where children are sexualized, everyone unfortunately knows that there are real actual pedophiles who can use official and fanart of Rebecca to enjoy their sick fetish. Because graphic violence has been proven, with games, movie, and tv, not to cause people to act out. However, the same can't be said about loli, because even if you want to argue that everyone who enjoys loli is not a pedophile, you can't argue that many pedophiles don't engage in viewing loli related content.
Essentially, one is harmless and exists to amplify a game, movie, tv show, comic, etc. The other should, in a just world, be the same, but because people who may already have real life victims are engaging with it, it's something we as a civilization shouldn't encourage.
