    nothing that happens in fiction can be a reflection of real life, just because something can/does happen in fiction doesnt mean it can/does happen in real life, thats the whole point of fiction to see/do things that are impossible
    You lost a credibility in this debate to me with the "I'm guessing you're..." aside.

    In a GTA game I know that I am playing a bad guy. If I thought it was sometimes okay to shoot someone and steal their car then video games could desensitize me. I can write or play fantasy where sapient creatures are killed as long as I acknowledge it is wrong.
