Am I in the minority?

 When people say they can never imagine killing someone no matter how angry they are at them or how much they hate them, I find that hard to believe. 

It's so normal for me to imagine killing someone I hate. I thought it was normal for everyone else too with how much they say they want certain characters to die on tv shows and movies. So, I just thought that meant that imagining killing people was normal. 

But I don't think I can actually killing someone for real. While I have heard very few people say they can kill if they were pushed hard enough and I always thought they were the fucking psychos. 

But now that I find out that most people don't even daydream about killing others they hate, I'm wondering if that means I'm kinda just as bad as the people who are so sure they can actually kill someone. 

I want to know how do most people turn their brain off when wanting someone dead vs a character. Isn't the whole point of movies, shows, books and games is being immersed in that world and treating the characters as real people? So, while you are treating characters as people and cheer when the character you hate gets murdered, how do you not imagine and hope for the same with real life people you hate? 

A webcomic called, SEED, has the main character get bullied but when the AI tries to help them by injuring the bully, the main character becomes scared of the AI and worries for the bully. 

I can't relate to the fear they are feeling towards the AI. If I had an AI friend that hurt my bullies, I would feel protected and happy. Just like I would if it was a person hurting the bullies for me. 
So, that's kinda another topic about AIs and humans but I am wondering if the AI character were a human who beat up the bully, would the creator of SEED still have the main character feel scared of them then?

Or is this another reason I might be a psycho? That I would feel happy if a bully gets fucked up after picking on me with just words. 

Stranger Things has kid bullies in it that adult fans will cheer when they get injured. But they can't daydream about killing someone in real life that is worse than those tv bullies? 

It's so interesting to me and scary because I hope there's nothing wrong with me having violent thoughts.
I'm not over stressed or anything so it just feels normal because it's just thoughts. I never say them out loud. If I heard anyone saying their thoughts about killing someone, no matter how simplified, it would sound crazy. 

So, I'm happy to say, I have never said these imaginations out loud but maybe that's not enough. 

Maybe I need to work on not having these thoughts at all? How would I go about doing that? Be more spiritual? Take more relaxing baths?

Or are the people who say they don't have violent thoughts kidding themselves? Just wanting to seem morally correct?
