Define "desensitized". I watched plenty of movies that are violent, the only ones that get me are the ones about torture (makes me angry). However if I see some blood or my wife cuts with a knife, I have to lay down a few minutes to avoid fainting.
To me, clearly there is a huge difference between tv and in person. I've never even seen a dead person (except in movies).
- acdha 3y agoThat’s basically what I’m referring to. Take a small child and show them the same violent movie scene, and they’ll scream and perhaps have nightmares. Over time we learn that some things are not real and most of us get over that but my point was that this is learned, not innate.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoSo they are desensitized to the TV, I see what you mean now. Usually this has a bad connotation, that's why I interpreted what you said the way I did.
- acdha 3y agoYeah, I was just trying to be pretty literal: you no longer get a charged reaction from it.
