Yes I was thinking it's interesting how the violence 99% of people have viewed in their lives is roughly accurate but fictional violence. So when we're exposed to videos of real violence, which our media normally hides from us, then it "feels" like it's fictional while watching it, because that's what we're used to. It's a weird effect. It's like the opposite of the uncanny valley.
