This is what happens when your worldview is based on anime. (A lot of anime has heavy themes, but most people understand that it's not real life, just like all such art. Unlike Yud, most people's worldviews on coding and math are based on actual coding and math.)

Not just anime but also science fiction. See also all the people who love 'hard' science fiction (science fiction more based on real world physics), which often isn't that hard at all but just has a few real physics element, see the expanse for a good example of non-hard sf that feels hard (im finally reading the book series so be warned I might expanse post a bit). ::: spoiler content warning discussion about sexual abuse thrope A similar thing happens with people who confuse edgy/grimdark/vile fiction with realistic. (A while back I played a video game which had a reference to women being captured for breeding and men for other sexual abuse (which made no sense in the setting, as these slaver faction already were resource starved, and poisoned so they died quickly, so no way they could raise kids into maturity in that environment (also iirc the slaver faction was less than 20 years old)). Which some players described as very realistic (people do the same about 40k, almost like it says something about their ideas of how the world works not the setting). I was just rolling my eyes and didnt comment. Apart from that it seemed ok. Crying suns is the name of the game for the people who want to avoid it for this reason (it wasnt a big plot point). ::: Sorry for being a bit offtopic and talking about entertainment again.
