I'm not violent at all. Maybe I'm the crazy one, but videogame violence does not equal real-world violence in my mind.

I can blow enemies up and rack up head-shot after head-shot in an FPS but I look away from the replay when someone gets badly hurt in football. I cut enemies into pieces in an action game but I dislike a lot of blood when I watch wrestling. As part of the Sith in the Star Wars MMO, I killed "innocent civilians" all the time, yet I hate when they show real people getting hurt on the news.

What is wrong with me? Why do I separate videogames and reality inside my head? Should I be concerned that I'm abnormal?
