Health #78186 Is watching "fighting content" healthy ?

[Ask Satya Operator]

I want to ask this anonymously since I know if I tell this to anyone in real life, I would be seen as a weirdo. And I don't want my main account on the forums suffering from this label either.

My question :

I like watching videos of people fighting. Not MMA or any recognized fighting sport. Just regular people fighting. I find it entertaining, funny.
Until recently, I never particularly searched for this kind of videos. I was just randomly exposed to these sometimes . But some days ago, I discovered a site dedicated to "fighting porn" (my own name for this, google results unrelated). So far I've browsed it two times.

Before watching videos like these become an habit, I wanted to ask you if this is bad for my aura or my mental health.
I labelled this question as health-related because I don't think there is any moral issue with this. After all, I physically attack nobody myself.

And of course this is brainrot entertainment ! I read/study most of my free time, but when I want to consume entertainment, I don't have any "quality standards".

It is not unhealthy for a man or martial-minded woman to find enjoyment in that, but it would be better to engage in martial arts yourself.

Also please do not use the term 'fighting porn', I know you meant it like 'food porn' but this is going to mislead people here who are ESL who will think you have a kink for it.

There is nothing wrong with finding an interest in combat or martial arts. Lots of people, like myself before I started martial arts, are unprepared to deal with very high stress/dangerous situations. Many also lack a realistic understanding of what happens in situations like that. Your opponent can be of any size, any weight, under the influence of something, maybe have a weapon, maybe not care about legal reprocussion, etc. It may be a sign to look into doing martial arts yourself if you aren't already. Its best to try to not end up like those people in those videos lol.

You should find ways to be healthy martial, seems like you seek it.

It seems good to me as it's not gore or bad stuff, but watching others I find it more of a fake simulation than actually being and living.
