Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

    Photorealistic: yes. However, it could be debatable whether it’s gruesome. We see situations that characters survive with short term damage but no long term consequences (example: Homer skating into the canyon). So while it would be gruesome to us, it’s probably closer to slapstick to them.

      It would be abhorrent for us to see photorealistic cat organs but I guess kids in The Simpsons’ universe are raised differently.
