Hatred...a supposed video game in development

[jejo68]

It looks total crap  :-X

There have been studies done which provide evidence to suggest that the more people are exposed to something, the less shocked they are by the "something" in question, be it violent sex, wife beating, hurting animals...

One example (tame example albeit) is film certification and why it has been getting lax over the years. What scared a 16 year old back in the 1980's doesn't scare a 16 year old now. More sex and violence in 15's and even some 12A's than there were in 18's. And is the XXX still in use? That was the worst of the worst from what I recall...borderline banned.

But did it really scare them or was it just overprotection from the parents ?

No. I mean when you were 16, 17, 18...watching a scary movie was, well, scary. And it was because you weren't exposed to it. But as de-certification has come into being, kids are exposed to it earlier.

And I'm mentioning scary because that's what you were talking about - but the general rule does apply - the more you are exposed to something "traumatic" the less it bothers you.

It was some time ago - so my memory of the details is fuzzy...but I believe that's what the findings suggested.

And of course that's a sweeping statement. It will likely depend on the mental makeup of the individuals.

It will likely depend on the mental makeup of the individuals.

Pretty much this entire crew could use some make up for their mentalness.
