10. both in different ways.
Language does indeed shape our outlook, but it doesn't develop in a void. Rapping about popping a couple of caps in someone ass does desensitize us to the fact of it, but then people were capping other people in the ass well before they started singing about it.

Or maybe not "well" before - how old the the human habit of memorializing martial victories in song?
