The empowerment in S&M comes from the mutual agreement of the submissive party willingly handing over their power and control to the one that will be controlling them, abusive S&M is not empowerment of the abuser, it is removal of the power of the victim.

There is a difference, regardless of if you comprehend it.

Do you comprehend that there is a difference between real violence and stylised video game violence?

That when video games show decapitations, knifings, and in this case torture, that it is fantasy?

Now you're strawmanning, I'm debating the use of "empowerment" over "abuse" not the differences between real life violence and video game violence.

But to answer you regardless, If you kill someone in a game, your character is still comitting murder, you're just not culpable because it's contained virtually.
Real world definitions don't cease to exist because of the jump from real to virtual, the repreocussions do.
