This kind of outrage takes away from things that are actually distasteful and cynical. Conflating unproblematic things with actual harmful things is a you problem.

I don't think that quite makes sense. Sometimes it's useful to point out/shame unsettling things that happen in society, even if it doesn't directly cause harm.

I both think this is allowed to exist in addition to finding this tasteless.

Having a negative opinion is not policing. If you want to spend your free time simulating destruction, that is really your thing. It's common entertainment. It doesn't mean others can't share a different perspective on it.

It sounds like you yourself are outraged and policing how people feel about this game?

It's not really outrage, I just think it's in poor taste. Unproblematic is a matter of opinion, which we're each entitled to.
