I am arguing that there is an opposite problem that comes about when we clean our stories completely: only exposing ourselves to clean media can and does lead to profoundly disturbing experiences in real life. When you have your first exposure to violence in real life–whether physical, emotional, or spiritual–and you have no analogues for this violence, you have no internal apparatus with which to deal with what you’re seeing. This can lead to paralysis, disaffection, depression, and sometimes–ironically–violent behavior.
