Violence not entertaining???? Man, I don't think I have ever met one living soul that did not at least UNDERSTAND that concept. its just too ingrained in human nature not to understand. like or dislike as you will, its a pretty hard concept not to grasp.
I think I recall Heinlein writing (and correctly so, as far as I can figure) that laughter and humor are invariably based on situations derived from the suffering of others.
which is why "non sum-zero" methods of entertainment are rare to non-existant. but that is a concept that would take f-ing forever to even explain, much less discuss.
