Kyonko802 (npub1jju…533h) I think it's more about the intent of the rule. The author's scene where he shoots the Yeti-girl with a flare gun reads less as a meaningful tragedy and more just dispositional and dismissive manslaughter. I think a terrible accident in order to tell a story about the suddenness of life, regret over family, and similar themes would be a proper catalyst rather than "shit bruh I was blasted so I lit up a Yeti-chick and lmfao sucks to be her I guess."
Real fans aren't stupid either, so even if the story involved an accident where, say, a girl tragically fell to her death (which would mean she gets splattered), the author's gratifying of gore can be detected depending on how much time he spends describing and mulling over it. A lot of books usually leave it to the reader to fill in the obvious details, such as describing the point of death (the impact) as a "crisp echo bequeathing a deafening silence" and then moving on immediately. The same could be applied to a terrible wagon derailment, crash, etc., but the important thing is the meaning, use, and glorification of the gore.
But... I am not a part of the MGE community so I can't say for sure; this is just my understanding of the rule to promote primarily wholesome content (no one is disbarred from writing gore or violent MGE content, they just don't want it on their site).
