> We experience violence first hand. I don't think violent text is going to affect anyone the way you think it is.

I'll be glad when this kind of "suck it up buttercup" bullshit is gone from our world.

Yeah, violence hardens people. Most often to the point where they're one light tap away from shattering. PTSD is a real thing, and just because folks in Africa aren't being diagnosed with it doesn't mean witnesses to this violence don't have it.

This kind of attitude - that since we've seen some shit we're immune to it all - is just a badly misplaced sense of pride.

And that misplaced pride just hurts people.

I'm not taking any pride in that statement. I'm just trying to highlight how because of the way our culture is, these sorts of texts are relatively tame. I'd actually like for us to get to a place where violence is not ingrained in our society.
