When they are confronted with reality, they find they ve been lied to in some way. I think in some ways it does. In the old days when a violent act was committed, the perpetrator didn t want witnesses around. Now you see teens shooting guns in school cafeterias with plenty of witnesses. Again, thinking they are more powerful than what they really are.
Fantasy seems to give some people permission for reality.
Fantasy gets you closer to the line. The more you think of it, the more it reinforces the desire. Kenny and Jimmy have seen Russ movie Primordial Rage so many times they know it by heart. When they reenact it and become the other characters, it becomes safe. It s just a fantasy to them.
