peter griffin started saying in 1999 that all one sees is violence in movies and sex on tv but i really dont think that is true nowadays. in a post liveleaks world big hollywood thinks i dont want to see fake violence because of how often i see real violence in my day to day. they couldnt be more fuking wrong. i love graphic violence in movies. i love it when they add the gnarly sound effects and the super red faking looking blood and crazy sfx. a nasty on screen death will make me hornier than a gas station pink pussy pill ever could. real violence is just disturbing. i relapse on true crime videos once every 6 months or so and every time i stop it's because the feeling of guilt and fear build up in my soul until theyre too much to handle. there are real people involved with hopes and dreams and people who loved them. there's none of that with on screen violence. you meet a charater, they get torn into pieces, you squeal and groan in disgust and fascination, you go home, the actors get paid, nobody gets hurt. it's like pressing on a slightly tender bruise over and over again. it's addicting but ultimately harmless. i dont think video game violence is the same. it's fun to run people over in gta but i have no desire to enact violence, even digitally. i just to watch it in shocking detail
