To be fair, I *think* that it's mainly because it's a game. The whole possessive/overprotective/violent thing works in fiction. It can be considered hot/sexy and I can see that to an extent, mainly because it's just fantasy and not real. Whereas if you encounter someone like that in real life, it's different and you decidedly do not want someone like that. I remember Gaider said something about this that rang true with me.
Also, not to get too off topic, but I understand why Twilight has appeal to people. While I find it very strange and I would not want to ever date someone like that, a lot of people enjoy it. I doubt those same people who enjoy the romance in Twilight would want that sort of boyfriend/significant other in real life.David Gaider wrote...
True. Fantasy romances have nothing to do with real-life romances. Some of these characters are seriously screwed up. When people say things like "I want to date my romance" or "why can't they be more sensible like someone in real life" my response is generally "Good God, why would you want that? This is a fantasy in more ways than just the genre."
In other words, if I gave some of these people what they thought they wanted, my suspicion is they wouldn't actually want it. So I excel at giving people what they don't want. Which is weird, but there you go.
