I am interested in your feedback but to fight back a little... The title image is a Menger Sponge, the ShaderToy link is an animated journey of the article*, and the article itself contains ~35 images.
Consider all the people harassed and locked up for decades over posession of marijuana. Sure laws have change but ethics never did.
The obvious problem I see seems to be that cops exist to lock people up. When locking people up is often an inhumane and ineffective solution to the problem at hand.
I imagine the red gear is the one backed with a motor rotating at a constant speed. Which would explain why it never slows down or speeds up.
The blue one is being entirely driven by the red. It slows down because moving 2 notches at a greater diameter requires less rotation than moving 2 notches at a lesser diameter. It then speeds up because moving 3 notches at a lesser diameter requires more rotation than moving 3 at a greater diameter.
I believe people process violence in media differently. I'm not necessarily drawn to it, so MK11 isn't on my list of games to play. But it also doesn't affect me beyond the knee jerk.
Even though these deaths are "photo realistic", the context is not. The clean limp bodies of the pets I've owned have haunted me a million times more than anything I've seen in MK. That's how I know death. Just a lifeless body. The spectacle of gory violence doesn't really connect with my experiences of death.
Sorry if your own experiences have been different.
Maybe I should have frontloaded more images?

Edit: I think I see what you're talking about. Maybe I should be explaining/showing briefly what a Menger Sponge is?
Edit 2: Added a tiny section at the top with a couple pictures describing what a Menger Sponge is. Much appreciated.
