I don't think I can give a principled answer that applies to every situation. For the most part, idc what people do in video games and it's fantasy.
I mean, this is the game where sometimes people trap a sim in a room and start a fire. Or put them in a pool and remove the ladder. And it's not a bunch of horrible people doing it clearly, it's just regular people playing out a fantasy.
There are probably scenarios you could come up with where I'd be like... ok, yeah, that's a bit much. Like if a game was explicitly programming in graphic abuse or something, that's gonna look bad just with the consideration alone of people taking the time to program and test such a system, make art for it, etc., which could itself be traumatizing for them, depending on how graphic it is.
But a simulated system accidentally not being totally realistic in a vague way that could be perceived as abuse if it was real life. It's hard to imagine losing any sleep over that.
