@fmf saidI think for most normal, well adjusted human beings, there is a distinction we make between things we observe (say in a film) and things that occur in the real world. So, generally speaking, there is nothing to worry about if you are entertained by a horror movie or game, as I don't believe this will lessen your 'human' responses if you were to observe a similar horror in the waking world.
To what extent do you think entertainment derived from depictions of immorality normalizes - or numbs us to - actual immorality?
There are of course some individuals who could be affected by such depictions of immorality, but they fall outside of the norm.

@fmf saidI don't entertainment numbs us, I think real depictions do. In the U.S., there's been soooo many mass shootings on the news, hearing about another one seems to get no reaction anymore.

@vivify saidYes, sadly that seems to be the case.
