I've read somewhere that this behavior is some kind of valve for agression. Similar to laughing to specific kinds of comedy, or cursing at the other team in a stadium.

When you compare that to real violence, this is culturally very advanced.

There is the downside that some take stuff often very personal, they have to learn that these things are more about these people themselves than about the target.

I wonder if that's verifiable. Some very senseless acts of aggression have occurred among the spectators at sporting events.



Didn't know about that, thanks.
