There was a recent article in NYT about Grand Theft Auto and the author mentions that their friends became a little more racist after playing it as kids. My takeaway was that these forms of media aren't for children because they probably won't understand that it's satire. Then I realized that many adults don't understand that it's satire either.

Edit: article in question: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/25/arts/grand-theft-auto-isl...

The framing and cut scenes in GTA may be satire but the gameplay where you actually immerse yourself in the game in get into the character's shoes mostly aren't. Those parts are largely just shooting people.

I guess you could argue that it's some other kind of satire than being anti violence.
