If any form of media is to blame for glorifying violence, then I believe this should be television. Through TV and film we see brutal stabbings, suffocations, rape, poisoning, shootings, torture and various other fictional footage that are deemed as violent every single day. We don’t think twice about them. Seeing fictional footage of violence desensitizes us and the line between reality and fiction blurs. This means that when we see real grotesque footage on the internet, our brain refuses to believe it is real. This is why some people can look at horrific websites showing real corpses and be un-phased. This is also why other people find real images of violence on the internet impenetrably sadistic, because their reality lines have not been so blurred.
