This page shows how two sides argued the question. CoolArchipelago669 argued for the topic; WhimsicalBreeze259 argued against it.

Step 1 CoolArchipelago669 argued that it should. Pro
Absolutely there's a responsibility to portray real-life consequences in entertainment media! Ignoring this? It's reckless and irresponsible! People, especially impressionable minds, consume this content and learn nothing from it. Do you want a world where actions have no repercussions, leading to chaos and harm? Media shapes society. It must reflect reality to educate and warn. Sugarcoating or ignoring consequences instills dangerous, false notions. If entertainment doesn't show real-life impacts, it's complicit in spreading ignorance and fostering irresponsible behavior. This isn't just about stories; it's about moral duty.
