so you don't feel any emotions during COD4's No Russian? or when you chose to drop white phosphorus onto innocents in Spec Ops: The Line?
like, come on, comics and games are just as valid as other artforms in terms of expressing reality. In fact, doing so will help them resonate within the reader/player even more.
There are also many comics and games that know how to shine a light on the real-life suffering of people (depression, PTSD, living in a war, etc.) while still keeping themselves great to go through (like This War of Mine, and so on). You only need to take a look at popular old games and comics to see why they are popular (such as how COD: World at War respected the WW2 veterans and victims before)
Lastly, your reply feels like a good excuse for modern AAA games like COD or whatever else these days to be sloppy, and for trash manga (like the insane amount of isekai manga out there) to just exist. Especially the part where you say people play and read in order to "escape from reality". Like, almost all video games (if not all of them) are related to reality in one way or another, especially if you look deeper.
