Here we go.

A pig hanging from a leash, struggling to escape.

Beating the shit out of a hooker in a car racing game.

Cruelly crushing a doe-eyed mushroom-shaped creature with your big Italian plumber feet.



How does what we experience inside a videogame affect us when the console is off?

I had a problem with the pig in MC because it seemed like animal cruelty.

I know that it was just a bunch of code, but it bothered me.

Mea Culpa: I also name my cars and have been known to talk to inanimate objects.

Was this guy who ran over a bunch of people inspired by a video game?

Bear in mind, the video game in question allows (some might argue, requires in the early game) you to punch cows to death with your bare hands.

Well I was trying to expand the argument outward, to a larger sphere of discussion than just the pig-on-a-leash (hereafter referred to as P.O.A.L. or "POAL").
