Most people are able to fairly easily differentiate a false reality from real life. I don't speak for everyone obviously, but I personally seek out games that put me in a situation, bad or good, that is radically different from what I experience in real life. This leads to experiencing a lot of extremes that do indeed impact how I feel about the world in one way or the other. But that sort of thought provoking content is exactly that, thought provoking. You don't play a game about the post apocalypse and expect it to be super cheery. Fallout does that to a certain extent to take the edge off of the otherwise completely gloomy setting. This game takes the same approach with some silly elements like pet pal. (there is actually a full thread about this if you want to read more)
The point is, if you don't want to expose yourself to the setting that they have created, then don't. I mean that in the most earnest way possible. Your opinion is important in deciding what you play and depending on what direction they go, this may simply not be the game for you.
On the other hand aj does bring up a point I had not considered and, yes, I think we could all do more to be more conscious of recognizing the seriousness of comparing videogames to real life war in both directions. That's all I'm going to say on the matter because I don't think there was any malicious intent.
