DAE binge shows that clash with their real-life values?

I'm a firefighter who spent all night watching a series about arson, and laughing at the silly fire scenes while feeling guilty for enjoying it was a strange mix.

Ever notice we like watching stuff we'd never stand for in real life? My vegan friend devours cooking shows with meat, it's just a weird human thing.

My cousin Maria is terrified of heights. She'll binge watch free solo climbing docs for hours, @shane_wilson. It makes no sense because she gets dizzy on a step stool. I see the same thing with my pacifist friends who love war movies. They'd never hurt a fly but can't get enough of battle scenes. It's like we enjoy the thrill without any real risk.
