It may be in the nature of art, but I think there is a certain truth to the idea that many, men particular, like violence and admire violent people.

Look at the recent admiration for Luigi Mangione, the HCU executive shooter.  

Another example is rape porn.  Why do people find watching someone raped to be titillating?

I don’t disagree, which is why violence has a heavy presence in cinema and television. Violent movies don’t cause people to be violent, they cater to an audience that likes violence.

As to why people like rape porn, same answer - there’s a percentage of society who may be prone to rape, and this particular aspect of the porn industry is for them.
