Future MKs Too Realistic?

Bear with me this kind of links to the future of MK.
Wot really annoys me is all these politicans going on about how violent games influence the populace to go nuts and brutally kill all their classmates. Heck i've loved mk since i was 5 and i aint no brutal murderer. Wot really appealed to me was the fast pace grusome action of mk which it's held true to throughout the series. i could turn the game off and know it was just fantasy, an illusion and then go about my normal day.
But my point is, with the rate at which graphics power is increasing, in the next 10-20 years we'll be seeing games that appear to be real and it's no doubt MK will be one of the first games to achieve this. Wot once was a shady green 100 pixel dragon bitting off someones head (say Liu's MkII finisher) will become the illusion of someone actually getting executed (say a fututre character). It'll be more and more difficult to tell the difference between fantasy and realism.
My question is from a moral standpoint would you stop playing MK if the graphics became photorealistic? Or trust that you know where to draw the line between realism and fantasy?

Great Post, i have also been thinking this through recently. I mean it will be scary if it looks very realistic, to think you are killing a real person could drive people crazy.
I would probably still play but it would be weird. I mean its all fantasy anyway, its all fiction stuff but your "Call of Duty" and "Brothers in Arms" are based on real people, real events. This would be pretty disturbing and i think there would be an uproar about something like this.
There may be options to turn blood and gore off in future more realistic games, maybe this would take the fun out of it but its the gamers choice whether to do or do not. It would be intresting to see it though but still quite scary.

I will still play MK, even though it would be like an virtual reality game 10-20 years down the road . . . It may scare me, but I know my boundaries between reality and just game fantasy fun . . . it might actually be a rush to play a virtual reality MK game. Also, I think that someday MK characters will have insane combos such as the combos on DragonBall Z. It will get very real in the coming years compared to the first game.

You're damn right, the world is beyond repair.
It's gonna take 650 years before this planet is a fun and nice place again, thanks to the politicians who think sending us to war and scolding us for playing violent video games is the right thing to do.
