This is interesting:
imagine a Coliseum (like in the ancient Rome) in your city/place, where gladiators fight in it.
Now answers these questions:
Would you spectate if gladiators were forced like slaves? (original games)
Would you spectate if gladiators were volunteers? (like aspirant gladiators that volountarily joined)
Would you spectate if one/some of your friends participate? (by their will, not forced)
Would you participate?
I know it looks sick, but I wonder how would you react about this.
I personally would be against any form of deadly arena, but hell... I would also like to TRY to spectate.
I already find hard to watch MMA fights which are already brutal enough.
How could people of the past spectate gladiators cutting each other flesh with swords, filling with blood and bones the ground. Terrifying. PEOPLE WERE MAD ONCE
