@Anybrody taking body swap as an example, if bodies were avatars, a lot of the existential parts of gts would be more like ressing in a video game. a lot more themes and tones would be possible, without changing the actual content at all. all by just changing the framework.
@Anybrody for some people, it's probably difficult to integrate the fetish in their lives when it's so incompatible with reality, so they have to beat it into a form that fits reality, instead of making reality fit them (by imagining different universal rules/frameworks, etc).
