Desensitization

Most people think we become desensitized when we watch too many violent movies and TV shows or play too many violent video games, using shocking acts of violence in the news to prove their theory.

But if that's true then why do I still get super upset when an animal is killed in a show even though I've seen those ASPCA commercials a million times? And why do I feel so guilty when a video game requires me to slaughter scores of innocent virtual animals?

The drawer of Sadcomic knows that feel, and we both agree- it's super sad when animals are killed in stories and shows and stuff!

I was pointing out the absurdity of thinking anything is out there picking and choosing our fates, and how pretentious it is to think
oneself has somehow fell under the good graces of an imaginary sky god with the assumption that some poor sap has somehow not gotten the golden ticket in life. "But for the grace of god goes I" is equivalent to saying "Sucks to be you." It's a snotty egocentric saying. I don't think it was the writers intention to sound that way, but it comes across that way.
