Fiction and reality discourse
What is your take on fiction equals reality discourse? Do you agree or not agree.
For you who agree, does it apply as well to other type of fiction (e.g., horror/gore/violent type of media), and what's your take on violent video games cause violence?
For you who disagree, what makes you disagree, and what's your take on fictional censorship?
Let's discuss, I am genuinely wanted to know both side of the story. Most of the discourse about this topic heavily centered around fictional porn, and I wonder about how does it apply to other type of fictional media
Interesting as I recently replied to a comment along those lines. I have begun to notice that the adult only warning is not simply because there is nudity and sex in these manga, but because younger readers seem to struggle more to cognitively differentiate between fiction and reality.

I agree with the mentality that "it's just fiction" when it comes to violent video games or movies where a lot of people were claiming that their kids would get influenced by the violence they consumed and turn into serial killers just because they played Fortnite.
That being said there is a serious discussion to be made about pedophilia and rape ...... 1 reply

I agree. I say this because (excluding porn) when people, of all ages and audiences, are usually easily influenced. Like for children it's usually something like fantasy or action,like h20 just add water. For adults it's usually stuff like the basketball or football, or something like greys anatomy. What the media does is they make certain shows an...... reply
i think there's 'some' influence fiction has on reality. mainly normalizing things. not necessarily that someone will go out to commit crimes. normalizing that factor of disgust, fear, etc will likely affect how one reacts to the real thing. reply
Haha sorry but im not good in english... anyway from what i understand in this u want debate on fiction vs reality?..
Haha if it about video games u talking about of course they will go violent into something they lose in it i saw many of this in YT. Like they tell ya its only a "Game" there nothing to be violent about it.. but there still some pe...... reply
i think its more about fiction affecting the person exposed to it, not necessarily the reality. thats why i actually dont agree with fictional censorship in general, because first of all, the genre itself isn't harmful. it's just a form of art, something invented by the imagination and imagination or thoughts dont harm others, actions do. banning a...... 1 reply
I disagree. Fiction doesn't equal reality. The characters are just puppets manipulated according to the author's will no matter how real they seem.
