A huge swathe of human art and culture IS alarming. It might be good for us to be exposed to it in some places where we're ready to confront it, like in museums and cinemas, but we generally choose to censor it out of the public sphere - e.g. most of us don't want to see graphic images of animal slaughter in "go vegan" ads that our kids are exposed to, even if we do believe people should go vegan.
