By that I mean  has playing too much violant video games and killing hundreds and thousands of ppl  made it so deaths and killings in real like dont mother or make you react any more?  i know im desensatized, i see murders and deaths everyday on the news and i sit ther watching yet feel noting not sad or notin, but its only for deaths, i just watch and it gets boring and i  walk away, yet when i see some starving child or slave i cant help but feel bad but thats probly because i dont play games were i see child slaves,  wat about you?

Sure, but you don't need videogames for that; open a newspaper.

I am desensatized to violence and death because I have experienced it many times with people I have cared about, not because of video games. It's a part of life and there is no sense letting a natural part of life that you cannot change or control take over how you feel and going on with your own life

it's sort of weird if I see fake violence on TV/film/games I'm not bothered.  I see violence in real life I'm not bothered.  I see real violence on TV (or simular medium), and I'm bothered.  Go figure.

*Eats giant mushroom. Hulks up. Pwns a bunch of turtles and ah whatever the hell they are called. * Yeah, I'm totally desensatized to real world violence. No, I do not pray for or care about people who have been raped, beaten, shot, or stabbed. Gimme a break!

Do you even know what desensitization is? desensitization noun the process of reducing sensitivity It means that if you constantly watch bloody horror movies and play violent video games, the content has less effect each time you watch it. You get used to seeing certain things so much that they dont affect you anymore. For example, im a huge fan of Horror movies and have been watching them since I was about 5 years old. Im now 20, and NO movies scare me. Even the parts that are supposed to make you flinch dont work on me. That's desensitization. Just because youve played GTA and watched violent movies doesnt mean youre going to become a killer. People who blame video games and movies for their crimes are either extremely weak minded or just full of ****.

seriosly that movie is crap, i saw the scene where they cut off the guys feet in tv, it took like 2 minutes, it was disgusting, i keep putting my hand over eyes just to not see the really hard parts, but when i saw dawm of the dead i liked it cause the gore scenes were quick and it wasnt the focus of the movie

That's nothing. I played a videogame beating a nun with a panda's genitals while streaking naked at an orphan's home after I cut off their power.

I am pretty indifferent to deaths when mentioned... I hear "12 died in blah blah blah" and don't really care.

I have seen some of the videos of people dying (witches burned in Africa, the kid run over in China, a couple deaths in Syria), they aren't exactly my cup of tea. I'm not torn up by them, but I would prefer to not see them.

Yes, they do. Video games have such a massive influence on me. After playing SimCity I wanted to become a civil engineer. After Farmville I wanted to become a farmer. Really.

LastDay-

Why because they are not "white"? I find it disgusting because they are human beings with the same blood flowing through their veins.

If we were supposed to sympathize, feel and be emotionally affected by every single person in the world then we'd all be very depressed. You can either remain ignorant on the atrocities, not care or b*tch about them because we have no say on most matters. Most people would rather not care.

Nope. I actually can't stand the site of "real" looking blood. I instantly enter a phase of... I can't even explain it. On the other hand I play violent video games whenever I get a chance.

I know it's a necro but I'll still answer.

No. I may kill thousands of creatuers, people, and beings online all the time but if I see a mutilated corpse I'll still be sick to my stomach.

Video games didn't desensitized me. It was the internet and having easy access to real life violence and deaths that desensitized me for the most part. I'm not 100% desensitized to everything I see, but it has to be extremely graphic with a slow death involved for me to need a change of scenery.....
