Given two otherwise-identical societies, in which one strictly limits the supply of violent imagery and the other does not, I predict that the former will (eventually, due to desensitization) have a higher demand for violence, leading to more actual, physical violence during blackouts.

I think you mean "I predict the latter will", since desensitization occurs more in the society with more violent imagery.
