I think it depends on the person and their experiences. I came from a physically abusive home. I cannot deal with violence on the level of Beserk. That's not to say that people's tolerance levels, likes, are dislikes are solely due to their trauma.
I know people who CANNOT STAND Urusei Yatsura because of Ataru's behavior. I truly enjoy it and the other Takahashi comedy titles because it's just pure slapstick comedy to me. In the real world, the characters of UY would all be in prison for APD-triggered hate crimes. In the comic and cartoon, it's like watching Roadrunner speed past an exploded, charred Coyote for the nth time.
Likewise, Miya's behavior in the real world would be reprehensible, if not insanely destructive. But, in the real world, if she hacked the Pentagon, she'd be in some kind of facility anyway. In the comic, her behavior is only comedic relief in a setting that's almost pure sex comedy anyway.
