It's quite gruesome. IMO all the red is a visual metaphor for the violence/opression that the city is built on- it's built on the blood of the Starwhale and the people sacrificed to it to hide the truth. The violence is so pervasive in this culture that people don't even /notice/ it anymore. They wear it- they're drenched in it- and they don't know. Liz 10's epic red dress- I saw it was water at first, but it's blood- all of this flows out of her own actions that she has made herself ignorant of.
Eleven twigs to the situation almost immediately [and the way this is explained - it's a police state because no one cares about the children - i ADORE] but he doesn't get how horrific it really is. That he's wading into metaphorical blood with no idea. Which is why I find this little icon incredibly affecting.
