I grew up watching a shitload of violent stuff, i like violence in video games and movies, i was generally allowed to watch and do what i want. I can't stand any real violence and it makes me sick to see what some people are capable of doing to another human being with no remorse. I've always known the difference between fact and fiction. Movie/Game violence is usually so cartoony and overblown it's hard to get desensitized to any real violence.
Most of the killers and especially the serial killers are born with brain dysfunctions in the empathy part of their brain or experience violence first hand from their parents/family. They know the difference between fact and fiction also. They start off by torturing and killing animals. When that doesn't satisfy them anymore they move to humans.
It's typical right wing crap to blame movies and games for their fucked up kids when the reasons lie alot deeper than that. I'm not dismissing the fact that bad parenting can't fuck up your kid, it can. Movies and games can influence them as well, but there is already something wrong with them if start killing people for real because they were just doing it in GTA.
