You have a valid point and, of course, it's up to you whether you want to play the game or not. But, on a more serious tone, I believe that we should not forget the past and what human beings can be capable of doing. If anything, maybe by facing our own demons we may avoid this kind of stuff from happening again (and I'm pretty sure that repressive therapies and abuse of patients still exist).
Reality is far more scary than fiction. That's what I learned after my research for Asylum
