Growing up playing these kinda games, you kinda just normalize it. I came out normal.

Same here.

Started with Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, Quake and Mortal Kombat 2/3.

I think I'm a bit more messed up than I would be without it, but nothing too serious.

I think "coming out normal" is hard to judge without a comparative version.

I grew up with these games, too, but if you have internally normalized that which is inherently abnormal, it may manifest in subtle ways.

This argument could be made for anything, not just games.

I don't disagree.
