Same defense as loli porn. It's fictional characters in fictional settings, performing fictional actions. No real damage is being done to any real person, place, or thing. If you want to play a VR game that's built entirely around the mechanics of strangling nuns and puppies and burning down orphanages, then you should be able to, so long as your actions do not translate to the real world.

Why do you give a shit? You're an evolved ape on a rock and you will see pretty much nothing of mankind's entire existence, all while living in an era with the most humans having peaceful lives. Stop thinking in the grand scheme of things when you are ridiculously small.

Most human beings know the difference between a game and real life. Why don't you?

although I don't agree with his statement entirely, it's important for us to practice restraint and acts of common decency so that we're above animals. >Humans ARE animals
No. Humans are humans, animals are animals.

Of course, I am also rational and would never say that we should revert to primal forms because we are part of nature. But his line of reasoning is unjust to say that part of us is bad because nature made us that way. Human like violence, that's how it is.
