Recently, this term is used frequently regarding how people react to things such as violence or the result of violent actions. Desensitising people towards something means lessening the mental shock one feels when exposed to certain situations. Someone who is desensitized towards violence can watch a movie or play a video game in which people are violently killed or mutilated and feel no disgust or remorse, while someone who has never been exposed to such media may react by becoming sad or nauseous.
