I've seen things from my deployments I don't like remembering and woken in a cold sweat plenty of times.....I can only imagine the mind fuckery some of these devs go through having to look at ultra violent stuff frame by frame for hours a day.
Perhaps actual butchers are desensitized to the point it doesn't bug them. However, the love for human mind will eventually cave through your mind. If it's someone you believe deserves it, it'd be different. Humans are hard wired by their emotions and social norms, and the status quo. Remove any allegiance to that and you can be a sicko. There's a YouTube video about meditation and human concepts r nothing more than
About how time doesn't exist, we're in a state of, "happening" things are simply a happening . Emotions only exist because we believe them to be. Same with the concept of currency, and others materialistic things we believe give us, "happiness"
That’s the west. Violence is all fine and dandy, but sex? Oh god no, we have to think of the children! It can damage them and scar them for life. I don’t get it, sex is natural and almost every living creature has it. But people put such a bad stigma on it. When I get kids I’m gonna talk to them about sex at a young age (9-10 years old).
Its a pretty interesting situation honestly. Iirc they aren't releasing MK games in Japan/Asia due to the violence/gore that the game contains. There was a person who said that US likes violence but not boobies while with Japan/Asia it is the opposite. I know that the majority players don't care about it at all as long as they enjoy the game and I agree with them.
xD true but with MK9 having more competitive traction, it made people pay way more attention to it. Look how it blew up. I'm sure there's players that feel indifferent about the importance of the gore. Ed Boon even said at this point, the gore is just a fraction of what makes MK, MK. Casuals don't think that though.
That can be applied to almost every single fighting game though. Tekken 1, DOA1, Street Fighter 1, they didn't have the best gameplay. NRS did almost go bankrupt 10 years ago when they were known as Midway but then WB decided to step in. Then the previously mentioned interest in MK grew again once they went back to 2D instead of making more 3D MK games.
