Sometimes your tolerance for hearing something becomes saturated. When this occurs, it no longer matters what context you might be hearing it in again, you will dislike hearing it regardless of the context.
Not to excuse the audience or anything, they should know better. They could have just walked out if they were unhappy. It’s a little disingenuous to call their reaction stupidity though, I’m pretty sure they do recognize fiction from reality. They probably just weren’t willing to hear that speech, delivered in a fictional or any other context.
Personally I’ve encountered this with film before. The movie Django Unchained had enough casual, laid back racism in its plot and dialogue, that I just got fed up and quit watching. I wasn’t enjoying myself, so what’s the point? It’s almost worse when it’s casual too, I’d rather watch something like Schindler’s List where it gets more gravity.
Honestly, no I wouldn’t automatically call that person stupid. I’d think they had trouble regulating their emotions, but would not judge their overall intelligence based on just that. There are many things that can lead to inability to handle anger in a healthy way, that have nothing to do with intelligence.
Guess what. Both are examples of people getting violent because of a character in media they chose to consume. Which makes your whole comment pointless
You wrote that like it was some kind of gotcha but it really just makes you seem like the type of person who yells at their TV

Would you call someone stupid for throwing their remote at the TV because they got mad at something an actor said? I would.
And I’d say that’s nowhere near as stupid as attacking a real human being for the same.
They’re stupid. The only people you could possibly argue aren’t are the ones who just booed.

Guess what. The actor wouldn’t notice in your example. Which makes your whole analogy pointless.
