I read it as a statement that the product tends toward extreme situations that will disturb some people who view roleplaying as an opportunity to play games and have fun without dwelling on horrific events. That doesn't even count the number of family oriented roleplayers that want to have a horror game, as in scary stuff, without child rape and the like.

Such content makes the product less appealing to a broad audience, so the score is docked a point.

Horror is a broad genre to say the least.
