Fictosexuals are people who feel romantic or sexual attraction to fictional characters. These can be heroes from anime, manga, movies, video games, or even books.
Examples:
- fans who are in love with an anime character
- people who create imaginary relationships with a video game character
- in Japan, there are known cases of "marriages" with virtual characters through VR technologies
Fictosexuality is a form of identity that shows how deeply modern culture intertwines reality and fiction.
Today, artificial intelligence is actively contributing to this topic. Thanks to AI, it is possible to create chatbots or virtual avatars that imitate the behavior of a favorite character. This allows for building "relationships" in a dialogue format, further blurring the line between the real and the imagined.
With the development of generative technologies, applications are emerging where users can customize the personality and appearance of a character, communicate with them, and even experience shared "stories." For fictosexuals, this is an opportunity to make their imaginary connection more tangible and personalized.
