Gamosexuality vs Paraphillia
Gamosexuality is often confused with a paraphillia, however, this is by definition an incorrect case. Paraphillias are known as sexual disorders and harmful desires, often leading to the distress of the individual experiencing them and/or those around them.
Gamosexuality, however, does not usually cause harm, as it is simply a desire/attraction to one who does not exist outside of video games. In some cases, one who is gamosexual may feel levels of distress due to being unable to have sexual feelings for folkel in reality, however this does not mean that everyone who is gamosexual feels this way, nor does it mean gamosexuality is a negative experience.
Gamosexuality does not include attraction to harmful fictional tropes and those with harmful attractions are not the target group for gamosexuals.
