    Trust me these thoughts can come easily when you do work with meat. Just having to gut a rabbit once in my life, causes me to this day intrusive thoughts that I find incredibly uncomfortable whenever I’m handling any living being. My brain suddenly going “By the way, this is how it would feel to cut through that animals skin”.

    A person can experience many things that can cause these intrusive thoughts from past experiences. In my case it was cutting meat. Videogames also massively further provide fuel for uncomfortable pieces of imagination. Notable is that people do not have the urge to act upon it, rather so it’s literally just the brain forcing you to imagine it as a possibility.

    Your narrow anecdotal evidence does not match with everyone.
