In most games I find no matter how good the static assets look, the animations immediately break the illusion of ‘realism’.

One recent exception to this were some of the cutscenes in Expedition 33, the facial mocap was very on-point and, even though the game isn’t anywhere close to photorealistic, it felt close to watching real actors perform a scene.

Seahorses aren’t a great example here imo. Their biology is just different from ours, the sex that fertilizes is the sex that carries the eggs to term - that doesn’t make them trans that is just how male and female work for seahorses, different than humans.

A seahorse could make this meme calling cis women trans men because they carry the fetus…
