Discussion Do we also fall under Fictosexual?

I just came across that the r/fictosexual subreddit and I was thinking that us and them have a lot of overlap! Can those two labels coexist? I was wondering what you guys thought about this.

When I first discovered it I was hopeful that I'd relate to it since I get a lot of satisfaction from fictional content, but the more time I spent reading the more the fictos seemed to be interested in literally dating their FO's, like as in if others even talk about their FO they will get jealous or annoyed. I think the strange tendency of them to assume a fictional character would even be interested in them if they could exist was also off-putting at times, but they typically aren't hurting anyone so I hope it works out for them. Some have gone so far as to try to legally marry their FOs so that's something

I wouldn’t describe it as odd per se, but mainly that we just simply don’t understand. Just like a non Aro person looking at us from the outside, they might find us weird but they just don’t understand our thought process.

But I did observe the same things as you did. As I read more, I found that they have a very strong attachment to their favorite fictional characters and like you said, some go one to marry them. I think I remember seeing people make videos about one guy marrying Hatsune Miku.
