È una cosa che ho visto da mio nipote. Il vasto mondo dei video per bambini di YouTube che vanno dall’innocua filastrocca animata in 3D coi piedi a roba assolutamente disturbante e senza senso.

The fascination of fanfiction - an excerpt from a video essay by Dan @FoldableHuman

“[...]but there's this appeal to seeing characters that the audience has already formed a parasocial bond with in synthesized scenarios and novel circumstances. This isn't even all that odd *outside* the realm of fan fiction. DC Comics over the years has imagined Batman as a vampire, as a pirate, as a medieval knight, and as an 18th century detective chasing Jack the Ripper - just to name a few of the literally dozens of alternate universe Batmen that are out there...

At a certain point, characters cease to require their context to be whole, and in fact become their own context, and subsequently the fun comes from taking them and moving them around; playing with them in a variety of different styles and scenarios...

In this way, fan fiction is the literary evolution of childhood play: taking disparate toys and bringing them together; an almost instinctive exercise in creative synthesis. It is not a mystery that fanfiction appeals to so many, because it is naturally what stories pursue: the meeting point between the familiar and the unexpected.”
