: I think bullcrap was a harsh word to use but effective at getting my attention. Violence is objective yes but it's not defined as "unwanted harm". Boxing is considered violent by most( not me) and it is wanted harm, not unwanted. Self mutilation is wanted harm but seem by some it is violent.
Sorry to sound harsh, I was just trying to be emphatic. You make some good points here too. It's a tricky question and I don't have any easy answers.
Sex and violence, so ambiguous...so difficult to fit into boxes.
Let's go rent some gay porn and think about it some more.
