By this logic 1000s of Apps should be removed. Does Fruit Ninja glorify violence? It sounds like someone is trying to justify their job, can’t go after apps that impact Apple’s bottom line so chase apps like this.

Huge fan of Amphetamine(the app) but its Apple’s walled garden. This nonsense is a consequence.

Unrralistic violence to vegetation is generally considered less abrasive than realistic violence to animals.

That's true, but it had nothing to do with violence.

You mean fearless bullet sponges that leak red liquid after health bar exhaustion and fall without screaming in pain, or for their lost friends, or without begging you to spare them with horrified eyes? It's less realistic than in hollywood movies. [Don't] watch real footage to compare. Realistic-enough violence games usually can't even make it to the market, except few nsfl/ryona self-publishing niches. Would you ever like to promote one to AAA-grade, honestly?
