Conflict and violence are distinct things. I'm arguing that specifically realistic PvP violence is a regrettable focus of modern competitive gaming, and it didn't used to be that way.


So you're suggesting that 'realistic PvP violence' in video games is specific to the West? You know this is an incredibly easy claim to disprove, right?

Also, is that PvP in the conventional gaming sense, or in the sense of attacking human characters in games in general (i.e. including single-player games with human on human violence)?


No. I never did. Please stop.


Wow, you keep moving those goalposts. So what exactly is unique to the West that you find regrettable?

Please be specific, because so far you've been awfully vague, almost like you don't want to be specific enough to where someone could falsify what you've said.
