Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Multiple issues Шаблон:Infobox sexuality Fictosexuality is a sexual identity in which people feel sexual attraction towards fictional characters.[1][2][3]

The term fictosexuality describes the desire to engage in sexual or romantic relationships with a fictional character,[2] or the experience of desire for fictional sexual material distinct from desire for flesh-and-blood people.[1][2] In the asexual community the term is often utilized to describe people who experience sexual attraction exclusively to fictional characters and not to real people.[2][3][4]

Terms in different languages

In Chinese, the term Шаблон:HanyuШаблон:Efn specifically refers to sexual attraction towards two-dimensional characters only.[5] In Japanese, Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration), an assimilation of the word fictosexuality associated with Nijikon, which is typically used to describe a sexual attraction towards two-dimensional anime, manga, and light novel characters, as opposed to attraction towards flesh-and-blood human.[6][7] However, the term fikutosekushuaru is distinct from "otaku" and specifically pertains to a sexual identity.[2][1]

Research

Feminist and queer research

Several asexual studies and introductory books on sexual minorities refer to fictosexuality.[3][4][8][9] Elizabeth Miles argues that "[a]s with current theorizations of asexuality (...) desire for two-dimensional [nijigen] characters forces us to reconsider what sex is and how legal and social proscriptions deny sexual access and the rights of full sexual citizenship."[10]

Queer theoretical research has also been conducted. In her analysis of the notion of "animation" put forth by Teri Silvio and Hiroki Azuma's interpretation of Jacques Derrida, sociologist and queer theorist Yuu Matsuura argues that sexual attraction to fictional characters subverts established norms in a different manner from Judith Butler's performativity.[6] The subversion is "transforming the method of perception or the way of desire through animation constructing the beings of a category that did not exist before."[11] Matsuura also posits a theory that human-oriented sexualism is linked to heteronormativity and gender binarism.[6][1][12]

Through interviews conducted with fictosexual individuals, Matsuura discovered that they face the same forms of oppression due to compulsory sexuality as asexual individuals do.[7] Furthermore, it was also observed that sexual desire does not always entail a desire for sexual intercourse.[7] Interview surveys indicate that the practices of fictosexual individuals present some possibilities to challenge compulsory sexuality and human-oriented sexualism.[7][5]

Just as not all allosexuals desire sexual contact, some fictosexual individuals do not desire interactive relationships with fictional characters.[2][7] Matsuura's research indicates that these individuals are rendered invisible under amatonormativity.[2]

Criticism, discrimination and stigmatization

According to Matsuura, fictosexuals have been marginalized or concealed in societies that adhere to the norm of sexual attraction to human beings. They are occasionally stigmatized or pathologized. Fictosexuals also face prejudice from the LGBT community. Fictosexuality is often thought of as a preference and excluded from the LGBT community.[2]

Additionally, the sexual attraction towards fictional characters can be misrepresented as a mere inclination towards a human depicted in a particular style, whereas actually the attraction is directed towards a non-human entity.[6][1] Some researchers and activists argue that considering the attraction to fictional underage characters as equivalent to a desire for a human child reflects an human-oriented sexualist biased view.[6]Шаблон:Efn

Community and activism

Online communities and forums about fictosexuality exist.[2] Some fictosexuals are participants in the asexual community.[3] A fictosexual activist organization has been established in Taiwan, aligning with feminist bookstores and LGBTQ activists.[1][5]

Some activists have labeled the sexuality only attracted to manga/anime fictional characters as a "third sexual orientation," and Miles argues that "it is the criticism of non-real-world sex, sex outside a flesh-and-blood relationship, which drives much contemporary anti-pornography criticism and activism".[10] Criticism of human-oriented sexualism rebuts the assumption that ACG pornography sexualizes real women and promotes pedophilia,[2][6] while simultaneously denouncing rape culture.[2] This critique is oriented towards solidarity with the feminist and LGBTQ movements.[1][12]
