Abstract

<p>This article considers “foreclosure/erasure” of claims-making by the everyday life as taken for granted based on Judith Butler’s concept of “foreclosure” and asexuality studies. As a case study, this article analyzes the discourse surrounding “fictosexual,” a term coined to describe sexual attraction to fictional characters.</p><p>Someone who identifies as “fictosexual” has criticized sexualnormativity and amatonormativity from the very standpoint that they are attracted to fictional characters by using the coined term “interpersonally oriented sexuality” as a concept to refer to the sexual majority. However, others have called into question the validity of the category of “fictosexual” on the grounds that it is not an innate “sexual orientation” related to sexual and romantic interpersonal relationships. In addition, this article illustrates “erasure by incorporating into the majority,” which preserves the conventional interpretive scheme about sexuality by incorporating “fictosexual” into the framework of “otaku” or “romance.”</p>
