Yummlick: What are these two separate categories you're talking about? What is the difference?
monkeydelarge: There is a huge difference. Human beings that are not fucked up inside the head are programmed to be very protective when it comes to children. In all healthy human beings, there is a father or a mother part that is very powerful. It's powerful to make sure that children don't die off from being weak and stupid. This is done to ensure that humans can keep multiplying instead of being 100% selfish(abandoning their children, tossing babies in a dumpster) and dying off. So no normal human being would be able to play a child rapist game without feeling...anger...sadness...and disgust. The child rapist game will trigger the father or mother in us. But when it comes to a game like Hatred, none of the game play has animated images that remind us of children. So it's possible(of course, I'm not talking about everyone)for people's brains to be clear of those unpleasant emotions while playing Hatred. So it's possible for people to enjoy such a game. A game like Hatred wont trigger the father or mother in us. There is another reason why a game like Hatred is different than a child rapist game. A child rapist game tries to pervert, what we humans see as pure and good... A game like Hatred does not...
Wait a second... Human beings that are not fucked up inside the head are programmed to have an empathy for each other. In all healthy human beings, there is a compassion part that is very powerful. It's powerful to make sure that we don't kill each other on regular basis. This is done to ensure that humans can keep multiplying instead of being 100% selfish (murdering their neighbours, tossing babies in a dumpster) and dying off. So no normal human being would be able to play a mass murderer game without feeling...anger...sadness...and disgust. The mass murderer game will trigger the compassion in us. When it comes to a game like Hatred, the game play has animated images that remind us of real people. So it's not possible (of course, I'm not talking about everyone) for people's brains to be clear of those unpleasant emotions while playing Hatred. So it's not possible for sane people to enjoy such a game. A game like Hatred will trigger the compassion in us. There is another reason why a game like Hatred is no different than a child rapist game. A mass murderer game tries to pervert, what we humans see as sacred and good...
See? Your argumentation boils down to this:
People would feel disturbed when playing child rapist game, because we care for real children BUT people also shouldn't feel disturbed when playing mass murderer game, because these are not real people being killed.
Where is the logic in here?
Because I feel disgusted by both concepts. Am I oversensitive? Or are you desensitized?
