It’s just confused.The answer to why I say it’s confused is in the post you’ve directly quoted here.You’re giving volitional force to a thing (“fiction”) that fundamentally has no such thing. We invest it with life and then we feel however we do about that investment.Because it’s necessary for you to have a certain arrangement of content generation in order for you to feel a certain way about it is not an objective fact about “the causal relationships within the fiction.” Because there is no such thing as that.Now, zoom it out and look at it as a game (not “a fiction”) and look at the content generation procedures necessary to test skill or protagonism (not necessary to “feel like you’re inhabiting a fiction with internally consistent causal relationships”), then it’s a different conversation.</blockquote>
