If this is not okay, then other outlets for fantasy violence are not okay. It cannot be both okay and not okay at the same time. If other outlets for fantasy violence are okay, then so is this.

I believe, in the nomenclature of the subject field, this falls under "are men okay?" rather than "this is not okay".

It’s my understanding that all kinds of people fantasize some “violence”. Not necessarily sadistic or anything just you know, retribution of some sort when they feel slighted or whatever, or the enjoyment of a violent film, it may have base instinct fantasies of violence, etc.
