Even butchering livestock for food, more or less a routine household chore in the past, is sufficiently alien today to most that it would likely cause PTSD if they had to do it.

The other you know is fiction which you can criticize the script, special effects, and cinematography of from a comfortable chair, often with friends. I don't think the two really compare.
