Yet most people won't be swayed by my logical pointing out that nothing was actually hurt in the production of it. They'll be troubled and angry at it. Should you make fun of it?People have emotional reactions to fiction, yes. That's fine. I was just curious why you would specifically point your finger at Avatar for showing people being killed, and cite it as a negative. Are all films that show gratuitous human death troubling, or is it American military deaths in particular?
I assure you I'm not trolling. This is a discussion forum, responding to and discussing posts is sorta the point.
