Actually, I found the descriptions well written and helpful. I don't quite understand Sarah's objection.
To expand on Sarah's explanation:
We are discussing these images precisely because viewing them causes many people, including people on this list, to feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Describing them in words causes a similar effect.
Perhaps an analogy would help: Imagine that you don't like gory horror movies. So instead, someone narrates one out loud while you cover your eyes. While it won't be quite as horrifying, it will still upset you.
