What a weird way of looking at it, Mr. King.

I can’t read Stephen King or watch the movies. Not even short stories. Graphic detail on the destruction of the human body. Varied and imaginative. I quit him more than 40 years ago.

Doesn’t he get it backwards. Thanos snaps his fingers and millions die. A couple gets married and then they have a lot of kids. The porn is in the details in between, not in the exclusion of the details.

I suppose what he’s getting at is that watching whole cities be destroyed automatically with out seeing the blood and suffering will desensitize us to violence. But the person who really loves seeing the bloody details might be dangerously aroused by them. The normies go home and forget about the movie. The weirdos may be tempted to act out what they see on the screen.
