When applied to a work of fiction, or to a roleplaying game between real human beings who all freely participate, narrativism is not inherently bad. To disregard facts and perspectives that goes against the narrative may make the story more entertaining. A “willing suspension of disbelief” that is harmless because it doesn't harm actual people. It is acceptable to disregard the human rights of the fictional persons in a movie or other fictional context, to care about their suffering if and only if it fits the story to care about them, because only actual human beings have actual human rights. Note that an actual human being has their own internal realities as well as being reflected in social realities and in the internal realities of those who hear about them, while a fictional person does not have a mind of its own but only the reflections in others. This creates a huge difference between perceiving an actual person as nothing more than a shallow stereotype (which may at best be an oversimplification, that doesn't take the complexity of the actual person into account) and perceiving a fictional person in the same way (which may be the whole truth about this fictional person, since there is no actual person behind the perception and therefore nothing to oversimplify).
