It's the same for me. I can be super caught in a story, shocked or awed with the characters as something is revealed, dislike a character or their actions, but it's still a clearly fictional portrayal.

Storytelling is often more about the telling than the story itself. Arguing about the minutiae while ignoring big, ongoing themes is like arguing about in-universe effects of art style changes.
