Its a good theory but i dont think so, they could chamge the blood to be rainbow coloured maybe :L to make it easier to watch but then, when a soldier sees something it just clicks to them that they have just ended someones life, they are not machines they might seem like one but they are average people with killing as a part of their job.

I think it is very possible and is already happening right now to everyone If you are a conspiracy theorist than you probably heard of NWO where elites want to depopulize us anyways good post better then the kid who posted about going in a coma and being bit by a zombie

I'm the other way around, to be honest.
I can watch videos of real gore with relative ease and it sort of enlightens me in a way.
I like to think of it as its preparing me for something that could occur in real life.
For example; I could be walking down the road with a friend and the next moment they are pinned to a wall by a reckless driver with half of their leg hanging off. I would be less shocked in that situation and be better able to deal with it and find help quicker, possibly saving my friends life.
Whereas in horror movies, I find the killings funny to watch because they are so obviously fake.
You see someone get shot in the head in a horror movie and there's a tiny bullet hole going in one side and out of the other, where in reality there would be a huge hole, skin flapping about and perhaps an eyeball popped out. The only horror movies that I can kind of watch without cackling like the Joker is the 'Final Destination' Series, of course the plot bores me beyond belief but everyone just watches it for the deaths, don't they?

If anything, horror movies desensitize us to reality and make us more unprepared to deal with the amount of gore in a real life situation.

In my opinion.

I agree, seeing someones brain splattered all over the road from a drive by shooting with a trail of blood running down the road as though it's just escaped from prison prepares one for real life situations more than a minuscule entry wound as though a bullet is as thin as a sheet of paper.

The Human Centipede 2 did gore quite well, entertaining seeing them try to replicate a collapsed skull when you could clearly see mesh wiring and other assorted make up materials sticking out of the cast.

I won't ask where you are able to view this material over the forum as it would probably paint the wrong light on both of us, but I have a rather accurate idea, I think.

In a way, I wish that more people would refrain from being too squeamish about horror movies which depict gore and would start to become more 'desensitized' to it.

OP, being desensitized doesn't matter if you're a good person, it is a bonus and a virtue to have in life that may result in saving someones life.
Hence, why me and Wez here visit frowned upon websites.

We're going to hell anyway, so why not?

Haha, I can feel my credibility slowly slipping away talking about this.

But, yes, I agree. Desensitization is different from not caring, it doesn't mean that if you see someone badly injured in real life you will start cackling and throwing stones at them, it just means you will be able to think clearly about what needs to be done and how to proceed.

Desensitization is painted badly in the media because of that film about the boy who turned into a murderer or something because he watched too many shock videos online.
A person already needs homicidal tendencies to subscribe to that behavior first though.

excellent theory could very well be true
