Fictional characters exist and we’re really tired of people treating us like sex objects or memes when someone opens up the possibility of “yeah you can talk to your favorite fictional characters!”

Also this only ever applies to nonphysical entities, people like this are generally weirded out by fictionkind. What’s good, obsessive fans?

It’s because they know we’d never be interested in them in a million years so the concept is useless to them

This is what happens when you treat the whole idea as something based on “omg they’re so smexy xD” or ~quirky traits~ you can reduce their personality to… like… buddy, wouldn’t you want to know more about our lives or our worlds or how things really happened? No? You just want to get in our pants? Fuck all the way off.

I mean, I get that they probably see the world totally differently than we do. For them fiction is a tool for projection and fantasy that they can use to lift their spirits or give them strength (or turn them on) and that’s where the whole “comfort character” thing and other similar concepts like that come from, but from our side, it’s wildly uncomfortable.

Our beliefs put us outside the bounds of “useful and relatable archetype / personality type created to be manipulated to suit the consumer’s wants”, and fandom (and a lot of people who practice PCP) use us as just that.
