I have not found that to be accurate, at all in fact, I have only ever experienced the opposite, where the casual people who play candy crush and the like think they are video games and those who play the more traditional games dont count them as games.
As for your 1st point... I just dont see that many people heavily analysing the crap they watch. If they find it offensive they dont watch it, but they dont shut themselves off to everything. I mean, sure people who watch scary movies and get terrified dont like watching scary movies anymore, but I dont know anyone who ended up not liking anchorman and just gave up completely on comedies. Sure there are one offs, but I just dont think what you are infering is anywhere near the norm.
I really don't think people who play candy crush consider them the same as games like CoD. Ask someone who only plays "casual" games if they want to play Dragon's Crown or CoD, and I think they'll note the difference and act accordingly. Of course, that's just my impression compared to yours.
And I do think people analyze what they watch. Lots of people don't watch "chick flicks" or "horror movies". I don't care to watch movies based on YA novels like Twilight and Percey Jackson because, to me, they're generally terrible (although I try to keep an open mind if someone whose opinion I trust tells me such a movie is good).
