Arthur asked Boomer question: is it wrong to think that …

I don't think it does. When I've seen real violence (and I've seen it more than I like to admit) it triggers an anxious feeling in me and I assume others. If your brain is wired correctly you should be rightfully disturbed ny real violence

Confused...Why is this a "Boomer" question?

LaDamaX · 1y

Wait, which of the violence is fictitious?

No only fictitious violence in mass media but also real one. All the violence that we can see every day ik the news, around us, movies, games, etc...I feel it's making us "normalize" stuff that we shouldn't.

So long as you can interpret between fact and fiction - it's fine. The issue is some people can't.

Nah. I’ve read all sorts of traumatic crap and it still didn’t prepare me for that homeless lady screaming profanities at me for no reason.

Violence is in us all, and it's not inherently a bad thing - it's about when and how it's used...you can't separate violence from the context in which it occurs, and it's often framed in mass media in terms of war - against other countries, against rival gangs, war on crime and/or drugs, war against Thanos, whoever has been framed as the bad guy for that particular work, but it's all propaganda - if you're paying attention, in most cases the good guys aren't really any better, THAT is the part that people get desensitized to that's dangerous - people go around blindly believing the violence that lines up with THEIR worldview is OK and never question it

Is it wrong to question the type of police officers employed when they in a real violent shooting pump over 40 shots into a black man and that that will desensitate people?
