You missed the part where in real life I am a pacifist. I cry when cats die that aren't even mine. I am appalled by real violence, just not the obviously fake virtual stuff. I have a sound healthy mind which can discern the real from the fake. Just because you live in a nice clean violence-less bubble that somehow makes violence this strange concept to you, doesn't mean today isn't far more peaceful than the times when people were slaughtered for just about any reason. If violence today is so bad then where are the Vikings doing unspeakable things and pillaging? Where are the Roman Colosseums where slaves and animals are killed for the entertainment of crowds? Where are the witch hunts where homosexual people are used for kindling? Where are the Crusades to take back the Holy Land through bloodshed? Where is the Spanish Inquisition torturing and killing people for not believing in a possibly not real god? By history's standards this is the most peaceful time we have ever had. Most nations AREN'T at war, and the justice systems while far from perfect at least try to persecute criminals without just killing or maiming them. Those people who are unhinged mentally, they can commit atrocities without any form of modern media to "influence" them. Genghis Khan didn't have GTA 5, yet he was one of the worst tyrants in history, a man who killed pregnant women. So how am I, a pacifist and man of peace, the kind of person that the OP is talking about?
