I can't speak for others here, but I can hardly wait 'til December for the complete & uncut extended edition! :o)
Follow Ups:
I was a Boilermaker for 33 years working industrial construction that was high, hot and heavy and also had more than my share of brawls when I was young and I don't enjoy sadistic movies. Guess I'm a milquetoast too.The degeneracy of this society is shown by the way people bullshit themselves into thinking they're doing something beneficial when they're doing something reprehensible. Like when people applaud and give Oscars to movie directors who fuck 13 year-old girls up the ass.

I assume you are refering to Roman Polanski, because he's the only Oscar winning Director that I can think of who has been accused of anything that vile. He fled rather than face prosecution as I recall, but was granted asylum in France because the evidence was flimsy at best (i.e., basically a he said she said kind of deal).
FYI, in this country right now anybody can accuse anyone of just about anything and potentially get them arrested and incarcerated and in some cases there won't even be an opportunity for the accused to defend him/herself. Sorry Tom, but to me THAT is degeneracy, not wild accusations and innuendoes.
FTR, I don't care for gory movies either, but the violence in Sin City doesn't offend me nearly as much as movies like Natural Born Killers where the REAL bad guys are depicted as misunderstood heroes. That, is degeneracy in my book! Sin City, OTOH, has a solid moral foundation in spite of it's violent aspects and clearly drawn good and evil characters.
BTW, maybe I just missed it, but you never actually described your impressions of Sin City. I assume that you did see it before drawing your conclusions.

AP--Polanski fled, so did fellas like Dillinger, Harry Pierpont and Lester Gillis. Polanski's running makes him look guilty as Hell. I feel free to draw my own conclusions.I haven't seen the picture in question and was talking about people's rationalisations for bad behavior rather than the picture itself. I've no interest in the picture.
...we both decided we weren't wasting any more of our time on it and we left. (It was either 'Thelma and Louise' or 'Goodfellas'.) She said she didn't care a bit what happened to any of the characters. I subsequently named that the Katherine Test. If I don't care about ANY of the characters in the movie, I leave.I didn't; I left.

AuPh, If you haven't seen it, I recommend "Bound" with Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershen, very
entertaining with an upbeat denouement for the two gals. ~AH
