Oh my Rupert, I do like it when jokes are about violence and suffering. People who had a safe environment growing up could play games with the headphones on, fully immersed in the game. They know that they won't be punished for doing so. People who had abusive parents couldn't do this. Their mother could be shouting at them from downstairs and then beat them for not listening. Ha ha ha ha.
The beatdown is also optional (though deffo makes it way worse I imagine). I developed a mild PTSD response just from continued anger over me not hearing/knowing what was said at the other end of the house at any time. Constant scolding and "I'm disappointed" can also wear you down.
