Do cartoon characters see each other in the art style or “realistically”?

Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

In "Treehouse of Horror VI" Homer becomes 3D and comments how he's "so bulky".
The other characters are quite perplexed about the idea of 3D, too, not just the stupid Homer. A scientist gives a brief lecture, similar to how scientists IRL introduce 4D.
Anyway, that answers the good old question "Is the gruesome cartoon Itchy & Scratchy photorealistic from the Simpson's POV?"
Photorealistic: yes. However, it could be debatable whether it's gruesome. We see situations that characters survive with short term damage but no long term consequences (example: Homer skating into the canyon). So while it would be gruesome to us, it's probably closer to slapstick to them.
I never thought about its gruesomness this way.
It would be abhorrent for us to see photorealistic cat organs but I guess kids in The Simpsons' universe are raised differently.
And the first thing he did in the 3D world was go to an erotic bakery. I always thought it was a dumb throwaway joke but after thinking about it, that would be a fun first experience in the 3D world
