As a man that has seen and delivered true violence, I can't take this shit seriously. It's goofy

I've also experienced violence but fictional violence is always aesthetic. I don't know why a retard would want to find realistic violence in fiction. Real violence is sudden, mindless, meaningless, empty.

I fail to see how a LARP on 4chan is any different than McCarthy pretending he's ever seen real violence.

I feel the same way about certain other nasty aspects of life due to personal experience. Like homelessness, losing a parent at a young age, incurable disease, etc.

That being said, lots of authors handle these things just fine. Its hard to get across genuine angst and terror in writing, and much easier in film.

t. never experienced real violence

either that or you have and you're a mega gay boy. Violence is incredibly meaningful and fulfilling.

>> No.21490887

>>21490865
Not true. It's only fulfilling if you have the brain of a gorilla.

>> No.21490910

>>21490887
Power is meaningful. The ability to pursue your goals, use violence, then emerge victorious is deeply satisfying. Narrative easily justifies it as seen throughout history.

Or you've adopted slave morality, where the weak imagine themselves good because they literally can't hurt anyone.
