This sounds almost like "first they kill monsters in that new 'Doom' thing on a computer and then they go out and shoot people on the street!" There's a difference between humorous escapist fantasy and the reality, and most adults are capable of recognizing it. We can watch "John Wick" without starting to shoot people, and we can read BOFH without being forced to act it out too. And as all escapist fantasy, there's an element of reality and its frustrations baked into it - that's why it works - but everybody knows it's not the reality itself.
