unsimulated
Not faked whatsoever
Unsimulated means not faked or imitated—genuine rather than performed.
The term appears most often in discussions of film, where unsimulated sex or unsimulated violence means actors actually engaged in the acts rather than creating the appearance through choreography or camera tricks.
The documentary captured unsimulated emotion from its subjects.
