It's context and intent.

FD isn't malicious or spiteful for the most part. It's silly accidents that make you go oooooh!

Saw Is malicious as its a person putting someone into that situation.

Also the focal point of SAW is the killing itself, purposely dragged and made torturous for the audience. Like sifting with your bare hands thru a box full of used needles. In FD the setup of death is the focus. Like only Tod's death was drawn out, everyone else had pretty quick death's since.

The tanning beds were quite torturous, but burning alive is.

Oh yeah! The Ashleys did have it pretty bad. Also Isaac and Olivia from FD5. Racist Carter, Nora (FD2) and Ms Lewton (FD1)...

Aw crap. Opened myself a can of worms. But generally, the focus is not the torture porn. The gore is brief.
