I'll second that. I think it's very easy to say not to worry, that these things don't affect the world, but in my view the things we see around us that are normalised, are the version of the world we construct. It isn't conscious but seeing a weapon in an OK context normalises it that little bit more. To be honest, I'd never thought about it, and I'm not sure whether it bothers me or not, but everything we do or don't do impacts on the world, and it's great you're recognising that.
I saw a review of some film the other day, in german I think, maybe won an award at Cannes that they have just made an English version of to engage an American audience. It's basically a violent film, that implicates the audience in the violence. So says the fact that you went to see it, legitimises the violence, so what you're seeing is your fault. Not sure I've articulated that the best. Thankfully I hate violent films so there's no danger of me seeing it, but just the little clips I saw are still haunting me.
