Why are CN readers so bloodthirsty?

When you read chinese novels you become like chinese novels. Why do you think china these days is so authoritarian? From all the chinese novels they consumed. Airdrop some jp novels with beta MCs and theyll chill out 

Do you mean Chinese novel readers i.e readers who speak English?
or
Chinese readers who live in China and speak Mandarin?

If you mean those who live in China, then it is just repressed aggression. Since you cant do things like criticizing the government.
People have to channel their frustrations somewhere.
If you mean Western Chinese novel readers who speak English, well they just need to get out of their basement and go have sex
 

If we are talking in practical terms, the self defence laws are actually worldwide and in law for a very, very long time (can't remember how far back it goes but definitely in the range of a few hundred years), it's just that it is not invoked very often due to society leaning towards law and order but back in the Wild West, it definitely got invoked more than a few times. It's not like it is self defence if you go out and wack someone on the head but if the person comes to you and tries to do you harm. Remember "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." especially if they just sat there to be beaten. 

Because most of the stories they read are bloodthirsty in a very brain dead way, that you can mostly enjoy if you turn off all your critical centers of your brain, and passively mass consuming them.

The thinking patterns of these stories become templates for how they approach and think somewhere in the back of their mind, and they end up applying the same over-simplistic "logic" to other works which have several more variables and patterns occurring in them that are strong, if not stronger, determinants 

Well you can think of this in that way: In CN novels there Exist the New Term called "Face". If MC offers someone who has a "Face" (Pretty much all have it) then they have to retaliate, cause if they let the one who harem they Ally/underling/far of Relativ of they would be a Joke. Like "He cant even take of his underling Hahahahah". And ever if said enemy of MC is doing something that the Elder of their Clan dont allow, they would let the said Enemy do it and at the End  Punish themself. So Pretty much 1. MC cant harm/offer or dont give "Face" to the Enemy. 2. If Enemy´s Underling cause any Harm they themself Forbid, then MC cant stop it, cause they cant show Weakness and let a outsider stop him not can they let other´s know they let one of their own would do something lowly like what he is doing (Often Rape or kill Commoners) so they let him finish it and then Punish the one with the Family/Clan Rules (In Evildoer´s case just dont go Public till the Whole thing is over). And to kill the Rest of the Clan/Family is often like this: If you dont kill them all off they will Harm the Ones around the MC, cause if MC only kills the Main Evildoer the Elders of said Evildoer will take Revenge, cause they cant Let someone get away with killen one of them without retaliate to the MC of they would have no "Face" left. The Term "Face" is pretty much they Pride. 

It's not just the CN novels though. They go into JP novels and do the same thing. 

All those CH novels that went into their brains, you suppose they didnt learn anything from it? 

personaly i think those novels are too much bloodthristy......i prefer novel like "world of cultivation" "i shall seal the heaven" "cultivation chat group"........the first two have occasional comedy with greedy MC....the last one centered around comedy....but fighting it's not their main theme....
