>>104230739>it's about being able to separate TV fictional violence from real life violenceA person who is scared by scary movies can know that it's all fake and still be scared
Nobody goes into a scary movie and says "yawn, I'm only here for the plot, there's no real thrill"
Which is why your argument is dumb
>That doesn't make any sense, by that logic we wouldn't be able to tell if outer space is real or fiction since we personally haven't experienced it.That's so wrong, it's stupid
You don't have to personally experience the ocean to know that the ocean probably exists
If you've never been to the ocean, and a lot of people haven't, they probably wouldn't be shocked or surprised it actually exists
No, they learn that the ocean is real because of the context in which it is framed. Learning about it in school, seeing it in documentaries or ads for going to the ocean, etc etc etc
On the other hand, if you don't have a specific type of context to introducing you to an idea, you might not believe in it
Which is why I referenced people thinking War of the Worlds and Godzilla was real. Not because they were all babies, but because nobody had said "oh by the way, this is all fake and here's a bunch of stuff that is also fake" to them before
Furthermore, if you teach someone to believe something, they will. Kids don't suddenly turn 8 and realize Santa isn't real because now their brain has reached the age where it can comprehend lies. It's because they learn otherwise through some means. Which is why some kids find out as early as 5 and some kids don't learn til as late as 12.
So again, your argument is dumb because you are confounding two separate ideas and ignoring one crucial detail
specifically, relating ability to separate fact from fiction and age while ignoring the notion that experiencing things that aren't real can help you realize what also isn't real
