Who here doesn't like violence?

[Thundershock 310]

I don't really like violent games or anything violent.Im not a person who likes violence.Is there anyone here who does'nt like violence?

[null123456 759]

Well, it's obvious I like violence. (Hence my TF2 addiction) But I don't like spontaneous amounts of guts, gore, and violence. I keep it to a bit of gore, violence, and depending on what game it is, a very small amount of guts.

Well, throughout history there has been violence everywhere. Really hard to say this, '' You haven't seen violence.''

But I do like violent games, but when it comes to violence. It depends on where your from.

[Zygen 6,066]

I don't really care about it in Video games, because its no real and it doesn't affect my IRL life really, but IRL I don't think anyone really "Likes" violence. Its normally quite unnesary in alot of cases, but I just don't like seeing people IRL hurting each other or killing each other.

 

But in games I don't really care if its violent or not, as long as Its good.

I don't mind video game in violence, but I hate the fact that kids like 6 years of age plays them games. I know most don't end up violent when older, but some do. However, I do play violent video games that release the stress in me sometimes. Real life violence I don't like, because...its violence and it hurts people, unless they deserve it, but who am I to stop it. I wont ever end

I am in full agreement with the post above. 

 

I like the anime elfen lied and that is super violent  . Most of the video games I like are violent: SSB, Halo, etc. I mean most video games have a level of violence in them. It is real life violence done intentionally that makes me sick. 

I even enjoyed the cupcakes video and that was super super violent but I liked it for the music and all the animation etc. it was funny too xD

I'd be lying if i said i don't like violence. Tom and Jerry is probably one of the funniest things ever created. A cat and mouse running around beating the hell out of each other with random heavy objects.. priceless.

[Delirium 208]

I do play video games a lot ( if you couldn't tell by my name ) and a lot of the games i play are violent but those are video games in real life i don't really like violence that much but i don't think we will ever be able to stop it just look at how many wars there have been.

 

If we don't end wars

Wars will end us

 

But like i said i highly doubt that war will suddenly stop

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

Let's just put it like this....... I love most of the Saw movies, and most of the Slasher flicks that come out in theaters and what not. In case I am being too Subtle , I really like violence in movies and cartoons and Video games. As for being Violent in real life? I am not the Violent type at all. I tend to shy away from all arguments and conflicts.

[ApexHunter 166]

Hmmmm yes and no...
I don't like violence in real world because that's why cartoons and games are for right?

That kinda answers the "yes". I enjoy violent games from time to time because it's fun. Also cartoons like Tom & Jerry (which someone already mentioned before). How could you not like those 2 little bastards? Just SMASHING each other all the time.

It's interesting to see how each member's answer is framed by their own experiences with violence. Captain Obvious will now point out that experiencing real violence (whether on the giving or receiving end) will heavily influence that perspective. Some of my other thoughts, in no particular order...

 

Hunting and killing a man is among the most exciting things one can experience.

Pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin.

I will never touch my child in anger.

I'm vegetarian. I save insects and put them outside instead of squishing them. One could argue that I'm about as non-violent as they come.

 

On the other hand, my favorite game series is Dead Space, where you have to cut the limbs off enemies to kill them. Revving chainsaw bayonets in Gears of War make me smile. I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead. 

 

Do I like violence?

 

 

You tell me.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

I love violence. The more blood the better....... It gives me a satisfying feeling whenever i kill a boss on Zelda, or get a head shot on Modern Warfare..... Or even when i Stab Kazuya Kasama in TTT2 with Orges horns...

[Metemponychosis 1,262]

In fictíon, violence is ok with me. I'm not in love with it and it's alright as means, but not as an end.

 

I love violent games such as God of War, and there's plenty of violence in my role play game. But it's always as part or something bigger.

[PastelShades 8]

I don't like violence...

I don't like games that involve blood of any sort really, and hate it when things die, especially animals.

I tend to rescue spiders and ants and worms when they are going to be squished to pulp by others and hate movies that involve killing.

I don't mind Lord of the Rings, but then, you don't actually see any blood in that. I just tend to look away when the fighting scenes start xD

But yeah. That's me! Not into violence but I don't mind the low level stuff.

<3

[Brook 663]

In video games, yes, it's fun to loose some steam on a random computer generated monster, because it's imaginative and fun. But not in real life, I avoid violence on every occasion that I have to.

Damn.  I went to lunch and took a nap, and apparently missed something interesting in this thread.  Did the staff tell you to change your post, or did you change it on your own?

[Nouth 496]

Huh. Interesting thing to think about actually.

 

In reality, I'm a pseudobuddhist and mostly pacifistic idealist.

On the other hoof, I do like several violent games (e.g. TF2) as long as it is clear that the violence is not real and nopony really gets hurt (which works pretty well with the cartoony graphics of TF2). I also like the games where you can take a non-lehtal, least violence possible approach (Deus Ex 1 and 3, Civ 4 etc.). 

 

So yea, I dislike real and realisticly looking unreal violence.

[Allosauridae 54]

I'm a highly jittery one...

Violence in games doesn't bother me... I actually love things like Tomb Raider...

 

Violence in person though, I freak but I was also abused as a kid and assaulted a couple years ago....    If someone raiser their voice wrong I start to get real jittery and skittish, and if someone moves aggressively, depending on the circumstances I will either shrink back or lash out.

 

I don't put up will bull and I have nearly "started" a few bar fights.... actually the guy grabbing my technically started it... NO PONY touches me if I don't want to be touched and no pony has the right to try and grab my cowboy hat....  Friend's cousin stepped in before I could punch him...   

[Dev 251]

I have nothing against violence of any level. What I mind is where there is NECESSARY violence and UNNECESSARY VIOLENCE. For instance, in a game like TF2, you gotta have a specific level of violence. A bit of dying, and that's it. For sadistic anime, you have to be really violent and shizz like that. But I have no problem with that, because the violence is supposed to be there. It's rational, no matter how violent. But blood, guts and gore in MLP or something like that is unnecessary and looks really bad.

 

In real life, violence is never the answer, but again, necessary violence and unnecessary violence is key. Boxing match or police raid = Necessary violence, Riot or Punch-up = Unnecessary violence.

 

Anyone agree with me?

[StormzInvader 127]

In video games, meh. Violence is fine. I mean, they are just characters of our imagination after all. It doesn't really make much of a difference if we suicide in a single player mission and then create a paradox by respawning. I'm completely fine with it in video games, books or whatever. Just nothing with real people with real pain.

 

In real life however, I don't think that violence is right. I mean, I hate people who even use violence as an excuse, an act or anything! Just like the Connecticut gunman thing, my cousins live in Connecticut and I'm glad they didn't get hurt. I really hate that people would just hurt others for random reasons and all that.

 

It saddens my heart.

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

yes...yes VIOLENCE
I LIEK DA VIOLENCE
ALL OF DA BLOOD AND GORE

YES YES YES
ME LIEKS DA EXPLOSIONS
AND DA TERROR
MOAR BLOOD!!! MOAR BLOOD!!!
I LIEK BUCKETS FULL OF BLOOD!!!
VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!!

 

 

....okay in all seriousness

I couldn't really care less or more

About the amount of violence

In whatever video game I play

Or any sort of movie

Just as long as it has an interesting story line

Then I'll be hooked

Though when it comes down to shooter games

Even though I barely play them

I don't like to have massive amounts of blood and gore

So I guess over all

I just like things that are more than just for gore

But if there's gore and it's interesting

Then I'll still like it

 

 

Oh and if were talking about real life violence

...well I'm not some sadistic war loving maniac

So I think that we all know where I stand on this

I keep all my love for violence directed towards the game I play. I find it a bit of stress reliever sometimes as well. All this media attention about such games like Manhunt and Grand Theft Auto are blowing every aspect out of proportion before realizing the true factor of it all, they are just video games!

 

You want to see my childhood hero?

 

That's right, Duke Nukem himself. I never turned out war-hungry or want to go beat the crap out of people like Duke did.

[Betez 1,734]

I don't like seeing violence in real life, and I'll admit that I never have.

 

However, I do somewhat like violence in movies andvideo games. Unless of course there's like blood everywhere.
