Fictisexuals are people who feel romantic or sexually attracted to fictional characters. These can be heroes of anime, manga, movies, video games or even books.
Examples:
- fans who are in love with the anime character
- people creating an imaginary relationship with the hero of the video game
- 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 interweaves reality and fiction.
Today, artificial intelligence is actively involved in this topic. Thanks to AI, you can create chatbots or virtual avatars that simulate the behavior of your favorite character. This makes it possible to build "relationships" in the format of dialogue, which further blurs the line between the real and the fictional.
With the development of generative technologies, applications are emerging where users can customize the character and appearance of a character, communicate with him, even experience common "stories". For fictisexuals, this is a chance to make their imaginary connection more tangible and personalized.
