I don't screen everything, lrn2scroll
I don't doubt that it does that, for some.
Boxing does it for some, whereas for most, it'd destroy our equilibrium.
Why would it be different for that particular kind of immersion?

( notice that some people want lots of social-process, but not to help, rather to butcher other's stuff, or process: social-addiciton combined with destructiveness, not helpfulness.
When one sees the dimensions of psychology themselves .. one sees without rose-glasses )

is for those who perhaps want to understand game-induced desensitization, and its place in our world.
You will notice that mass-shootings topped 600 in the US, in 2023, and .. during WW1, it was damn-near-impossible to get normal troops to shoot the enemy.
The change produced in us was produced by a cause.
Desensitization is much of that cause.
Sociopathy ( psychologically-induced-psychopathy ) is a result .. and it is a result we're demonstrably embodying, planetwide.
( the sociopathy of the Victorian Empire's people, against non-"whites" was absolutely real, and socially-produced, too.
We just keep changing the details/appearances of it, while keeping the ideology-addiction/prejudice-addiction undercurrent the same:
ideoogical or cultural narcissism.
Notice that sociopathy is "alpha" so the male-culture addiction to "alpha" also, again & again & again, chooses sociopathy as its "validity".
The hazing-producing-suicides in concentrated male-culture is one such crystalization of it.
Now ask yourself: is butchering other's worth & lives calming, to people whose identity is based on their sociopathy??
I bet EEG & psychological-testing would show it is... )
