The sentence I am trying to translate is:
si a esto juntamos la violencia ficticia de las pel铆culas, es normal que la gente acaba insensibiliz谩ndose ante estas imagenes.
I couldn't find the translation for this word in the dictionary. I would be very grateful if someone could help me!|||"insensibiliz谩ndose" means "desensitizing himself/herself/themselves"

desensitize means "to make someone less sensitive," or "to make someone feel less shocked or distressed when watching a scene of violence or cruelty."

Here's a translation of the sentence you gave, which is an incomplete sentence, by the way:

"...if to this we put together the fictitious violence of the movies, it's normal that people end up desensitizing themselves before these images."

-----


If you want a literal, word-for-word translation from Spanish to English:

"if to this we join the violence fictitious of the movies, [it] is normal that the people finish desensitizing themselves before these images."

==============


To help you understand more about the "-andose" form, it basically means to do what you are saying to yourself.

"ayudar" means to help

"ayud谩ndose" means "helping himself/herself/themselves"
"ayud谩ndome" means "helping me"
"ayud谩ndote" means "helping you"
"ayud谩ndole" means "helping him/her/them"
"ayud谩ndonos" means "helping us"

You could use this with all verbs where it applies:

"Estoy agarr谩ndome" [I'm grabbing myself]
"Ella esta tom谩ndose el jugo. [She is drinking herself a juice.]

It's similar to how in English we would say "she's having herself a drink."|||If this violence together fictional films, it is normal that people just desensitized to these images.

Desensitized means that they get used to them and it doesn't affect them as much with each viewing.

And this is true. The more people watch horror films, the more they get desensitized to them.|||This is the literal translation of the sentence:
"If this violence together fictional films, it is normal that people just desensitized to these images."

The word 'insensibiliz谩ndose' means desensitized.|||desensitize
So used to watching or hearing something, that now the person does not react to it.

At first I used to say WOW when I saw kids with purple hair, now it is so common, I don't even look anymore., no big deal.|||If we join fictional violence from the movies, then is normal that people end being insensible towards this images.
thats will be my own translation to it|||insensibiliz谩ndose : being anesthetized
