Rape, murder and war: the horrors of the human condition.
Our reality would be better off without them. Alas, the horrors of reality are
the thrills of fantasy.
Baddies killing innocents and heroes killing baddies are
staples of fiction. Why not? Murderers are the ultimate villains. Avengers are
the ultimate heroes. After all, baddies who never rape or kill are not so bad
and heroes who never avenge are not so heroic.
Sex and violence: primal and intense. Nothing tame shall
ever be as thrilling.
The genres adventure
and horror are, have always been and
shall always be the most popular fiction. Why? They are usually sexy and
violent. The genres romance and comedy have their place but never on top
unless they are themes within adventure
and or horror.
Rape, murder and war: the thrills of the human
imagination. Our fantasies would be insipid without them.
