question to you all, about movies and games

Recently, ....or actually, kinda right now, i'm getting back on mind, to that topic about violence in entertainment media, while listening to discussion shows of the German online-youtube-videogaming-channel of RocketBeans, formerly MTV's GameOne, where such topics get tackled, and i still got it on my planned schedule to write an article about the role and legitimacy of violence in especially videogames, especially in the context of the game Hatred....and i'll sure get there yet. But for now, i want to ask you a few curious question in regard of this overall topic.

So have me not talking as much again as i usually tend to do, but instead to interview you instead, without further ado:

1. Have you ever had any personal experience in videogames, in movies, or both even, where a scene or moment of violence, perhaps even explicitly shown violence, where it was too much to your feelings, or your taste? Has it then been just too much to your opinion, or did it even cause you some actual bad reactions, perhaps even physically?



2. On the second question, allow me to ask you the same as at the first question right above again, but in particular, about anime or manga? i'm interested in that for once, in particular.



3. What is your personal opinion on where violence in videogames, or also in movies (both, if you can) would go too far or would doubtlessly cross a line for good? Or do you have even an opinion about a case of that, which already exists?



4. What is your opinion and what are your thoughts about violence in videogames (in particular), in general? legit, or misplaced, or do you think it 'depends'?



5. What is your opinion on, -if you have any, there-, what exactly it is that has changed in videogames and movies, or maybe in us, regarding the violence, over the last few centuries, during which we seemingly grew more and more acceptant and/or liberal?



6. Do you think that regardless of the medium, but especially in visual media (games, movies, etc.), the violence that is used, staged and shown, can have an artistic or otherwise worthwhile value or merit?



7. At last, a rather specific question. What do you think about the emotional and moral differentiation on the minds of people between the violence against definitive humans, and against non-human humanoids, from artificial humanoids like androids over mutants or aliens or so, to even Elfs, Orcs and such?





Thank you already for your attention, your time spent and for sharing your opinion.
