Analogy: Violence in media and real life

Make an argument assessing the strength of the analogy between violence in
 movies (or video games) and violence in real life. The analogy would be of the form 
A:B::A:C. (Violence in horror movies is closely related and perhaps
 contributes to violence in real life). Say if you think there's a strong 
connection or no connection. Support your argument with careful reasoning 
and/or an example. (Don't cite empirical evidence for this argument. Stick 
with your own logic and good reasons

I do not think the analogy suggesting the correlation between violence in movies (or another type of fiction) and violence in real life is credible. After all, fiction and real life are not analogous in the least. Fiction is carefully constructed to display a particular theme or message, whereas real-life is much more random (though, yes, I admit this depends upon one's religious beliefs). Furthermore, just because a film or novel is displaying violence does not mean it is presenting it as a good solution to one's problems or a positive recreational activity. Where intentional violence occurs in real life, however, the perpetrator intended harm. While he or she may have had reasons for it (racism, protest, etc), her or his main purpose is not artistic. It is harming real people, not fictional representations.

The depiction of violence in media often contributes to a larger theme that may even be a commentary on real-life violence, rather than an influencer of it. The Hunger Games, for instance, is built on the concept of children forced to kill other children. Despite the violent premise, however, the storyline emphasizes government corruption, disregard for life, and protests in opposition. As such, the purpose of the violence is to display its destructiveness--not portray the behavior as acceptable. Another example would be the murders with sexual undertones investigated in the British series Broadchurch allows for the show to explore the devastating impact of such violence--hardly condoning it.

Violence in real life is purported to cause harm. Violence in fiction, meanwhile, can be included for a variety of reasons, many of which include commenting on the devastating effects of violence in real life. This difference between fiction and reality makes the analogy weak.
