(Anonymous) 2015-11-03 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)A few weeks ago I saw an old man die. He took a tumble and landed face first onto stone. I was and still am traumatized by it. It wasn't even a crime, it was barley even violent, he fell, he bled a lot and her stopped being alive. These are the physical actions that took place and if I was apathetic to it those physical actions are all I would have seen and I' have felt nothing. I used to think like you, "Hell I've gunned down thousands of fictional people, Death and Murder don't affect me." I am still surprised by how upset a relatively mediocre method of death has affected me. It was horrible. Thinking about it now is upsetting me. Yet today I played a number of games where I simulated gruesome deaths of fictional people without thinking about the old man. The brain is capable of recognising real life as real and the fictional world as something else, regardless of how real the fictional world seems.

Re: Unpopular opinions
There have probably been studies about this and I'd be interested in reading them, but as for myself... I admit that I enjoy stylized violence, probably even more than I should. However, you put me in a situation that even remotely seems like it COULD turn violent and I flip out, panicking. I regularly worry about the possibility of the people I love dying, sometimes in violent ways, and I hate hearing about violent acts on the news. I don't think this is even nearly always the case (most people can separate fiction from reality), though I suppose it is possible.

(Anonymous) 2015-11-04 01:21 am (UTC)(link)Over the past 40 years, media's gotten more explicitly violent, and real life has gotten much less violent.
Your theory is contradicted by the real world.
