Venom's first introduction included him throwing a tanker full of animal offal all over Peter, murdering a police officer by suffocation and we don't even see the Vulture rip anyone's entrails out, it's all done off panel if I recall right.
It's just a bit unfair to blame OND for this though, I mean comics in general have been more graphic these days it's the general trend now, it's not just Spiderman.
