There's an impossible chasm between the real and unreal where you are left to discover your own thoughts and feelings. I can entertain how id feel in any of these video game settings and specific scenarios as well. I can self insert as pinocchio and imagine how it must feel to become a real person along with all the awakening passion, pain, sadness and loneliness. Selfishly I can stretch some of these scenarios to include other characters from the same setting and imagine the situation and emotional responses. These things are impossible irl and my mind is not perfect and it cannot capture all of that possibilities even in my head. It is still an enjoyable exercise however and I would like to keep doing it and feeling what I imagine those characters might feel. More simply, I might just wonder what it must feel like to be petrified in a video game or to be vored. Doesn't mean im gonna go outside and look for a bear or lion to eat me. Regardless I think that it's simplifying attachments to fictional characters as just being gay, and its dangerous when there's not enough celebration of characters with depth and complex relationships. I really hate that a lot of devs don't even see a point now and instead prefer to just make generic self insert characters because it goes over the head of normalfags that an rpg might have you actually fucking roleplaying instead of just making a copy of yourself.
