[QUOTE="Michele, post: 7623905, member: 6995890"] There is nothing wrong in providing fictional bad examples of bad things. Well, no. I disagree. It is entirely possible to say "bad = enemy", and as I mentioned above, staying with the basics, an enemy may well be another human, if he threatens your survival, the survival of your offspring, or the survival of your community. And I disagree this is not a thing in the West. Self-defense, legitimate defense, are very strong in the public opinion in the West, and will not be absent in the life of the mind of a kid as he grows. And not all fiction portrays the victim of violence as an innocent pedestrian who's just crossing the street as the protagonist speeds away on his stolen car; pretty often, the plot makes it clear that the opponent of the protagonist is a legitimate enemy. As mentioned above, that's the way out when you can't credibly portray them as enemies. [/QUOTE]
