> Footage of people being shot is actually allowed on many platforms.

It's also part of almost every American cop and military show and movie. Of course it's not real but it looks the same.

I beg to differ. TV shows and movies are silly. Action movies are just tough-guy dancing.

"Tough guy dancing" is such an apt phrase.

The organizer is even called a "fight choreographer".

I mean more the gory parts. Blood, decomposed bodies everywhere etc.

And I wasn't talking about action hero movies.

It absolutely does not look the same. You instinctively know that what you see is just acting. I somehow don't believe that you have seen a real video of a person getting shot or beheaded or sucked into a lathe. Seeing a life getting wiped out is emotionally completely different because that's more than a picture you are emotionally processing. It looks only the same if you have zero empathy or are a psychopath.
