I'm not sure RoboCop fits here. About the time ED-209 blows through that guy, I'm pretty sure everybody sees the corruption there. And you do spend the whole movie feeling bad for Alex and his family and you're actively rooting for him to exact revenge.

RoboCops old enough, I'm not sure most people newer than Gen X have even seen it.

People do see how bad it is in the movie. What I'm saying is that people do not believe anything in their reality is comparable. When I say that people see it as fantasy, I mean that they see it as an imaginary world with nothing comparable in their own world.
