when i was 10 i first played unreal tournament and i hated the gore, it felt wrong, it wasn’t right, this was not normal. like i felt my soul telling me not to play it but i kept playing it. over time i went from being disgusted with the amount of gore to wanting more and to wanting every game to have the same amount of gore if not even more. why did this happen? i really hated it, it was do eerie and wrong but i started to love it over time. how is this possible? i wanted to leave and never play again but something wanted me to play despite me knowing that is wrong. nowadays i can see any amount of gore and it’s completely normal to me. wtf. why did my body react this way? it’s strange because usually things that scare you or that are so horrifying your brain tricks itself or it tricks you into making it normal, it makes you enjoy it. it’s like when i was forced to walk in the dark, it was frightening but the more i did it the more i started to love it. it’s as if my body adapts and learns to love things that are wrong? i think the human brain is so complex that it will use anything, any situation to make itself feel good in order to survive. same could be said for rs rofl. even when you have a job and hate it you try and find a workplace companion that you’ll be attracted to therefore work ends up being enjoyable. or if you’re in prison, or whatever. we never think if these things but brain is always thinking of a way to find enjoyment even if it’s completely immoral. i swear same could be said about a horrible car, horrible house, relationship, horrible phone, bed, etc your brain goes through some kind if traumatic transformation and tries to find enjoyment and fun out if everything. i know even when sick your brain will do anything to cheer you up. i really think that evil people could use the techniques to pretty much do mind control. you can literally program your brain to do anything. well think I found a bug in the universe literally. may Christ save us all

yep when you see things over and over you get use to it... simple

you started to lose me near the end with talking about prison and mind control and bug in the universe? kind of came out of nowhere...

but its fairly normal, if something is traumatic that does have an effect on your body and your mental health, your brain gets use to it to stop it being so traumatic. its quite simple

nor is gore immoral as you also stated...

If the brain is exposed to a fear often enough it begins to accept the fear, maybe rationalizing that there is nothing to fear. You have survived the encounter many times and nothing happened. It's referred to as 'mind conditioning.'

Society has a lot to do with how we feel about certain things. Look at the front page of a newspaper. What do you see? Murders, robberies, political attacks, drug wars, all things negative. Do you see anything about a kid winning a coveted trophy in a spelling bee? Girl/Boy Scouts entertaining the residence of a nursing home? A Fireman getting a reward for risking his life to save a family from a burning fire? A Policeman who prevented a robbery? The answer is "No" or "not usually." If you want Human Interest stories you have to go to the back pages of the newspaper. Why? Because crime sells, Human Interest doesn't.

As far as mind control goes, I understand where you are coming from. But needn't worry, something like that is too far into the future, if ever. As for today or the near future, here's some interesting reading on mind control through hypnosis.

@Vonsage you said that mind control isn't a thing, I beg to differ. The power of suggestion is mind control, subliminal messages, propaganda, etc. It's all a form of mind control. Now it doesn't necessary dictate action as it's not possession like we lose total control of our members having no recollection later but it is mind control in that the way we think is steered one way. A smear campaign is an example of the power of suggestion, it is a rumor that *insert a persons name here* did this *insert accusation here* in order to get the masses riled up against a political opponent. In the mind of the people it's like "Oh did you hear about how this person did that thing? Yeah, no bueno." The person who heard the smear campaign now has a thought within their mind being steered by another person using the power of suggestion.

I can point to many real world examples of this form of mind control.

Addressing the topic gore isn't really immoral but I feel like it is wrong that people are so desensitized to everything, we got so accustomed to things nothing really sways anyone and so the boundaries of what is acceptable are ever more expanding though it shouldn't be that way. All things are permissible but not everything is beneficial.
