I really want to say "No shit"
So...
No Shit

Interesting.
It hits something that I've noticed/been thinking about for a while - watch just about any TV show/movie and you'll see the main characters are overly aggressive most of the time. Watch someone ask for a cup of coffee and they can't ask politely. Instead, they have to bark orders and berate people (usually characters with no lines). When you stop to think about it, the behaviour is really completely unjustified and beyond simply being rude.
Main characters regularly dehumanize walk-ons and characters with no lines. The level of civility is almost non-existent. One has to wonder if these consistent messages don't pour over into real life. My bet is that they do.

In the chicken-egg spin apparently audiences want "edgy" characters as part of the escape from drudgery.

Edgy or psychotically rude? :P
Good timing - Quite by accident, I just tripped over this:

It's an article on nutrition and aggressive behaviour.
