"The epitome of Stone is Natural Born Killers, in which he criticizes the sensationalism of violence in popular culture by...making one of the most sensationalistic, gratuitously violent films in movie history. Thereby becoming a shining example of the trash he thought he was cleverly criticizing."
I think that was intentional on his part. I don't think he wasn't aware of the revulsion the movie would arouse in the audience.
It's like the logic employed by the serial killer (as voiced by Kevin Spacy) in 'Seven' on gluttony.
"He did it in Born on the Fourth of July, too, with the way he filmed the wheelchair. I could stomach sitting through his films 20 years ago, to enjoy those brief moments. Now I don't have the patience.:
