Over exposure 'desensitize' us to the violence. I was sick to my stomache when I first started visiting gorey sites like snopes and rotten. But subsequent visits, and I watch the images and video clip with only a minor frown on my face, with a little 'wow' and 'damn...' here and there.
But no matter how many times I visit rotten, not matter how much I play ultra violent computer games, or the number of violent movies I watch...it still doesn't desensitize us to ALL forms of violence.
