I want people's opinions on this because I'm genuinely curious about this concept. I'm under the idea that fiction doesn't affect reality. As in I don't believe shit like playing violent video games somehow makes people more likely to go out and cause mass murders. Seeing movies that glorify violence or sex won't inherently change a person's mindset to be more likely to ignore or parade such concepts as something to be actively celebrated. If a person celebrates real life violence, they already had the predetermined mindset to do that, with or without fiction's hand in the matter
While 'most' wont go out and commit mass murder after playing video games, you cannot disregard possibility. If you give a 10 year a video games adn he doesn't much human interaction, then he might as well. Although adults won't do it because , society has implanted laws and customs. Again, human are born with feelings. For example, even if you were to live your entire life without seeing your parents, undoubtedly there will be some connection.
Sex is different. It's a need. More powerful than anything, violence is nothing compared to that. Watching porn will and abosulate will, change your brain mechanics. You will and you do, sexualise your opposite sex(there is no third gender bitch! lol). But that said, does it increase the amount of rape cases? I don't think so. Because to facilate this sexualising tendency, society change and allows vulgar behaivoir. Gives rise to, cheating and illicit sex. See this, okay. You live with your girlfriend but you don't marry her. I mean why not. Your logic, because 'im so young', 'marriage is a life long game', 'we will breakup anyways,' , then why don't you divorse if thats the case. If you were to marry, you wouldn't divorse so easily, simply because well you are married, and you would be more understanding and patient.
I went out of topic hahaha.
However, I do understand, and I believe the idea that fiction enhances reality. As in if someone where to commit murder, and they played violent games or watched violent movies, they would do it with or without the fiction's hand in the matter. If a murderer watched a violent movie, it was because they were already attracted to violence to begin with, and seeing the violent movie would only enhance that understanding of themselves. Same thing with sexual themes. If someone finds out they're gay because they saw Leonardo DiCaprio shirtless in one of the movies, they were already gay and seeing that only made them realize that fact. As in it enhanced they're gayness, and as funny as that sounds, I mean it.
Bro, everything you see and read, you will be influenced. For example, you have once said something to your friends, 'I think its better to die than humiliate your family' and then few years later you friend kiled himself. Now he might even not remembered your words, but it did remain in his unconcious brain and it did push him. But that said, it would not be fault nonetheless, you should give proper attention to your words, always.
Gay...No comment, i wont be able to convince you anyways, untill i come and give you some beatings that it. Just kidding.
I remember Noralities when she was talking about how fiction affects reality and in her talk about cancel culture, she brought up the movie "The Birth of a Nation" and how it basically put the triple K back into some sort of power after years of basically being dead. However, she failed to mention that it was 1915 and even with the triple K being basically dead, people were still very racist and the movie just took those people's personalities and enhanced them until they blew. Honestly, that video of hers is pretty garbage and she got into some massive controversy after that video and her trash isekai video, but that statement she made stuck in my mind.
I am not sure what you are talking about since, i don't waste time on news.
There's also this very specific points that I hear pop up time and time again, though thankfully this point seems to be dying as of late cause it was very dumb to begin with. We all should know the point that news broadcasters in the early 2000s constantly brought up. X murderer or criminal was a fan of Y violent movie/game. However, they fail to bring up the fact that X murderer had very obvious mental defects. The amount of times GTA was brought up in the news after a mass shooting still rings in my head cause it was pretty common to hear about in the early 2000s and even in the early 2010s.
Now, that's not right i guess. But why are you seem to defend video games. THey are absolute trash anyways. Its ruining a fuck ton of young men ,(not much women). It gives birth to , icels!
Although, some gamers will come and say that, playing moderately is fine, i disagree. Life is short, why destroy your focus on some bullshit like that, anyways. You learn nothing out of it, absolutely nothing.
